Hi All,
If I have a local variable that is assigned a value and never read after that,
is it possible that it may get garbage collected before the block where it was
defined. For example:
public void someMethod() {
Foo aFoo = new Foo(editingContext());
editingContext().saveChanges();
}
Will aFoo live until the end of someMethod()? Or could it get garbage
collected?
I'm asking because in the real app, Foo is a delegate of the editing context
when it gets created and it finishes its job when the editing context
saveChanges() is called. But in a non-GUI app, we believe aFoo is getting
garbage collected prematurely. Those are someone else's findings but I though
I should ask to see if that is right.
The documentation for NSNotificationCenter says the following:
Note: If the default NSNotificationCenter is the last object in your
application with a reference to either an object registered to receive
notifications or an object being observed, that object will be garbage
collected.
P.S. Sorry if this is more a java question than a WebObjects question. :-)
Thanks,
Ricardo
