❔ How do generic parameters with static classes work?

Like if I have code like below, will a new Handle exist for every generic type used?

yes

This is weird

This conflicts with my understanding of c#

EventBroadcast<Func<int, int>> and EventBroadcast<Action<int>> are different types, so their members are completely separate

My understanding was that static variables can only exist once.

And to have multiple variables of different types you'd need instances

Are there any downsides to doing it like this?

How does the garbage collector know when to collect Handle

Well, the GC doesn't collect the property Handle, it collects the value of Handle

When you set Handle to a new value, the old value gets GC'd (it there are no more referenced to it anywhere)

And if I input another type for T it creates another instance of Handle

This is also still true. Again, EventBroadcast<Func<int>> and EventBroadcast<Action> are different types. EventBroadcast<Func<int>>.Handle and EventBroadcast<Action>.Handle both only exist once.

ok
