if o were the only reference to your SomeObj, then setting it null, removes the last reference to the object, and hence makes it collectable

setting null will not make any difference for garbage collection

The GC is *not* analyzing your code to predict whether an object will still be used in the future, it only determines "reachability", i.e. the theoretical possibility to access it again

In the meantime I have developed a little app that demonstrates exactly how the GC works. When I find
the time, I will write a short article on the subject.
