有没有办法强制执行finalize()方法

我有以下与finalize()方法和Java垃圾收集相关的问题。

  1. 有没有办法强制使用finalize()方法?
    以下方法从JDK中弃用的原因是什么?

    Runtime.runFinalizersOnExit(真);

  2. 添加上述问题,我正在阅读文章http://javarevisited.blogspot.com/2011/04/garbage-collection-in-java.html。在这里,请参见第5点,作者在调用垃圾收集器之前调用finalize()。那么这件事肯定会发生吗?我的意思是在执行垃圾收集器方法之前总是调用finalize()方法吗?

  3. 假设我的堆中有很多垃圾,但垃圾收集器没有被执行。那么这不是一个坏行为或JVM的缺陷吗?

  4. 由于垃圾收集没有发生,它如何降低我的应用程序的性能?

2 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:0)

finalize方法may never actually get called,因此任何肯定需要运行的关键清理代码都应该转到其他地方。您可能应该自己管理 - 当您完成一个持有某些资源的对象时,请明确清理(例如,实现close方法)。

答案 1 :(得分:0)

由于这些原因,你根本不应该使用finalize。 除了给出的答案,我给你一些示例代码。它证明了作为程序员,您通常无法确保最终化将运行。实例1和5并不相关,因为它们很少有用。但有时会做3,4和5。

请阅读PhantomReference s。如果没有提及PhantomReference,关于最终确定的任何问题的答案都不完整。您可以在非守护程序线程中处理它们,并确保JVM在处理完所有程序之前不会退出。

 * Demonstration of failing finalize-implementations. Just run main, wait and see that it does not
 * actually print any messages other than "good bye!", even though there are 5
 * <code>System.out.println(...)</code> in the finalize-methods.
 * 
 * <p>
 * However, finalize is run even if the instance was not created properly (Exception in
 * constructor). This may lead to problems, as the resources to close might not even exist.
 * 
 * <p>
 * This answers this question: "Why is there no guarantee that {@link Object#finalize()} is run?"
 *

 * If you want an answer to the question: "Then what can I do to properly use finalize()?" <br/>
 * The answer is: Don't! <br/>
 * Not just because of the problems presented here. There are actually more problems! <br/>
