P.S. I'm curious about the strange seemingly unneeded code fragments
in FinalizerThread and both Runnables. For example:
169 forkSecondaryFinalizer(new Runnable() {
170*private volatile boolean running;*
171 public void run() {
172*if (running)*
173*return;*
174*running = true;*
The FinalizerThread and each Runnable instance is only executed
once. Why these checks then? Does anybody know?
I was wondering that too. A Thread is an instance of Runnable. So a
finalize method could re-exec the current finalizer thread on another
another thread.
Right. I added these a while back to ensure that this does not happen.
