Remove finalize from TIFF ImageIO implementatation classes. Following copied from the bug description The TIFF image (de)compressors can make use of a JPEG reader / writer Like all ImageIO readers and writers, once done, the owner should call their dispose() method. This is currently done with finalize() to ensure it isn't missed.
This can be migrated to a Disposer. However, the most common case is that it is the ImageIO built-in JPEGImageReader and JPEGImageWriter that is located and that already implements a Disposer. So there is no need to add a Disposer for that. We only need to add it if we find some other reader/writer. With enough work, it might be possible for the TIFF compressor/decompressor classes to work out when they are really done and avoid a Disposer at all. But it could also be that they instead need to discard them when a specific task is done and then obtain a new one. That would be much more overhead than just adding a Disposer for the rare case and regardless of what is done in the TIFF code, the built in JPEG classes will install their own Disposer so I don't think I want to pursue that route. I also noticed that TIFFBaseJPEGCompressor.java can replace the current writer if it doesn't satisfy a need. In that case it just nulls it out and doesn't call dispose() and of course finalize() will then refer to the replacement. So I added direct calls to dispose() in such a case. That was definitely necessary with the finalize() code but the Disposer would have taken care of it anyway, so it isn't strictly needed with the new code but it is still good to do it early if you can. ------------- Commit messages: - 8362898 - 8362898 Changes: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/26416/files Webrev: https://webrevs.openjdk.org/?repo=jdk&pr=26416&range=00 Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8362898 Stats: 44 lines in 3 files changed: 31 ins; 4 del; 9 mod Patch: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/26416.diff Fetch: git fetch https://git.openjdk.org/jdk.git pull/26416/head:pull/26416 PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/26416
