Point taken. But my comment referred to the impact of adding an explicit super.finalize() call to a non-trivial finalizer ... in the context of a proposed change to gcj and/or jikes to add a compilation warning for missing finalizer chaining calls. Anyway, I've concluded that the detail we were arguing about is a "line ball", and that it doesn't really make much difference either way which way the change works. -- Steve _______________________________________________ Classpath mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/classpath
