Re: [platform-swt-dev] usage finalize() as last resort of resource management
|
I have read this document, but it is explaining why finalize() shouldn't
be used as system resource management mechanism. The discussion which I
try to find is answer to the question: why finalize() isn't used as last
resort for freeing system resources as it is used for FileInputStream
for example? Am I missing something here?
I fully understand the reasons behind the design decision about not
using GC as management mechanism. The bug report explains fully the
question which I'm trying to find answer to, so I'll not repeat it.
So, is the discussion answering this specific question is available
somewhere online?
Thank you,
Danail

[platform-swt-dev] usage finalize() as last resort of resource
management
Hello, everybody,
First, I want to apologize for introducing again the hot topic for
resource management in SWT. Because I don't want to start another
thread on this I want to read the old information on this. But I
cannot find it (more interested on the exact question: 'why resource
management doesn't use finalize() as last resort?). Only found this
very bug:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=123765
The last comment states that this have been already discussed, but I
couldn't find this discussion. Is it available online or it is some
internal discussion? Could someone point me in the right direction,
because I only find discussions, where the questioner has been
redirected to the document describing the resource management in SWT,
which however, hasn't the answer to the exact question.
Best regards,
Danail
