One possible purpose I could see for having invalidateAll would be to do an atomic invalidation. Invalidating one at a time invites all sorts of problems if there are other updates still going on. There's also the possibility in some languages of sweeping global changes that might require total invalidation. - Charlie --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JVM Languages" group.
