Hi, When I was testing dalvik using the builtin test case 036, it sometimes reports a failure:

Basically you cannot rely on the timing of `System.gc()` and `System.runFinalization()` since they're only best-effort methods. Could anyone confirm it? I think this test case has existed for a long time. -- -- unsubscribe: android-porting+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-porting --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "android-porting" group.
