Hi all,
I just finished watching this (
http://www.infoq.com/presentations/jvm-tuning?utm_source=infoq&utm_medium=videos_homepage&utm_campaign=videos_row1)
and I'm not sure I understood everything and specifically what he said
about finalizers. I noticed that Stuart Sierra (yes, I recognise his
voice!) asked a question about this but the answer he got was pretty
vague in my opinion...
First of all what does he mean by "finalizers"? Does the mean the
.finalize() method on java.lang.Object, the try/finally idiom or custom
"cleaning-up" methods?
Secondly, he said they are not good practice because they require 2 GC
cycles....but why do they require 2 GC cycles?
Did anyone else watch this presentation yet? Any clues?
thanks,
Jim
ps: I seriously hope he didn't mean the try/finally idiom because
clojure makes significant use of it.... :)
