Are there any plans to add destructors to kotlin native at least? It would make developing mpp libraries that use cinterops on the native side that much easier...

Considering that Kotlin Native will be using some sort of GC in the future ( https://blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2020/07/kotlin-native-memory-management-roadmap/ ) adding in destructors wouldn't make sense. GC isn't deterministic like Reference Counting.

I wouldn't expect it to manage memory of cinterops allocations, therefore destructors would be very helpful in cleaning up those external memory allocations when a wrapper kotlin object is destroyed
