The documentation is correct. GC is conservative - so there are chances that some objects may not get cleaned up. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrej van der Zee Sent: Friday, March 28, 2008 2:17 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Memory Profiler - Memory Snapshot does automatically runs garbage collector?
In the documentation that ships with Adobe it sais that it runs the GC before taking a snapshot. But it also mentions that it is not guaranteed that all unreferenced objects are freed when the GC is run (manually or before a snapshot). A bit misleading functionality I would say! --- "Gaurav.
