> IO stream classes like `FileOutputStream` can have assocated NIO channels. > > When `close()` is invoked on one of these classes, it in turn invokes > `close()` on the associated channel (if any). But when the associated > channel's `close()` method is invoked, it in turn invokes `close()` on the > associated stream (if any). > > As a result, these IO stream `close()` methods invoke themselves reentrantly > when there is an associated channel. > > This is not a problem for these classes because they are written to handle > this (i.e., they are idempotent), but it can be surprising (or worse, just > silently bug-inducing) for subclasses that override `close()`. > > There are two possible ways to address this: > 1. Modify the code to detect and avoid the (unnecessary) reentrant invocations > 2. Add a `@implNote` to the Javadoc so subclass implementers are made aware > > This patch takes the second, more conservative approach.
