Hi, all! I'd like to raise the problem with freeing native memory which is out of GC control again :-) (and https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-3148 as one of it's demonstration). (See the previous round at http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.harmony.devel/25768).
Several people have added comments to the JIRA, but we need a general decision on the following question: Do we accept the way which was introduced by Leo's patch in H-3148 (i.e. check if there are enough native memory available before allocating new one, and call System.gc() (or System.runFinalization()) if necessary)? I'm +1 for this method. (Mark mentioned that he'd refactored the patch if he had time:-) - i'm ready to do this if he has no time.) Thanks, Mikhail
