Hi, I've been planing to give a suggestion regarding internal Cleaner
implementing Runnable interface. If this internal Cleaner in DBB ever
gets replaced with public API in the form of
java.lang.reflect.Cleanable implementation, then at that time, such
workarrounds will break again and would have to be revised once more.
So why wouldn't internal Cleaner rather implement
java.lang.reflect.Cleanable instead of Runnable from day one of JDK 9
release?
The hack involves access to a private/undocumented field so it can never
be guaranteed to work. But to your point, the internal Cleaner could
implement java.lang.ref.Cleaner.Cleanable. This seems like something for
core-libs-dev of course.
