System.gc()
Posted by Jeong-hoon Kang on June 28, 2000 at 4:54 AM
class Book{
boolean checkedOut = false;
Book(boolean checkOut){
checkedOut = checkOut;
}
void checkIn(){
checkedOut = false;
}
public void finalize(){
if(checkedOut)
System.out.println("Error : checked out");
}
}
public class DeathCondition{
public static void main(String[] args){
Book novel = new Book(true);
novel.checkIn();
new Book(true);
System.out.println("ABC"); //22
System.gc();
}
}
When garbage collecter does its job?
and why does not the above program print "Error : checked out" without Line 22 ?
