Hi, I noticed that on the pool todo list there is the action to implement weak reference based pool.
Can someone explain to me what is the reason/need behind? Should the idle pool objects be stored with weak references? My understanding is that you use object pool to avoid the unnecessary object creation and rather reuse the existing ones. With weak references the object may/will be cleared once it becomes weakly reachable. So if idle pool objects are weakly reachable you cannot be sure that they will not be garbage collected. I'm not a reference specialist so please help me to understand :-) Best Regards, Slawek Zachcial __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
