In native code that that does not *return* to Java, you must
explicitly notify the garbage collector about unused object
references.

In native code that does return to Java, objects will automatically
become eligible for gc when they return, although if you'e creating
lots of objects locally you may need to notify gc before returning.

To notify the garbage collector, use DeleteLocalRef().

Note that the normal reachability rules also apply, so for references
passed outside the native method (in calls to other Java methods or in
return values etc), the objects won't actually become eligible for
collection until they are no longer reachable from those other places.

You can also use a combination of PushLocalFrame() and PopLocalFrame()
around a section of a native method, to get behaviour similar to that
of invoking a method (Push..) and returning from it (Pop...). The
garbage collector gets notified about any objects created within the
local frame when PopLocalFrame() is called.
