Comment by micahherstand:
If I have classes in Java that reference each other, is this considered
circular referencing and therefore will they never be GC'd? I'm having
big-time memory leaks in FF and Safari without JSNI.
Very stripped down example:
{{{
class Controller{
Model m;
View v;
Controller(Model m, View v){
this.m = m;
this.v = v;
}
//...
}
class View{
Model m;
Controller c;
View(Model m){
this.m = m;
}
setController(Controller c)[
this.c = c;
}
//...
}
class Run{
onModuleLoad(){
Model m = new Model();
View v = new View(m);
Controller c = new Controller(m,v);
v.setController(c);
m = null;
v = null;
c = null //Do Controller and View still exist after this line, since
they reference each other?
}
}
}}}
