For ARM-blocks you can have a look at the @Cleanup annotation of Lombok and have ARM-blocks for Java right now!
The following code will close both streams correctly after they run out of scope. import lombok.Cleanup; import java.io.*; public class CleanupExample { public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { @Cleanup InputStream in = new FileInputStream(args[0]); @Cleanup OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(args[1]); byte[] b = new byte[10000]; while (true) { int r = in.read(b); if (r == -1) break; out.write(b, 0, r); } } } See http://projectlombok.org/features/Cleanup.html for more information On Sep 1, 2:19 pm, "joel.neely" <joel.ne...@gmail.com> wrote: > According to coverage > athttp://arstechnica.com/apple/reviews/2009/08/mac-os-x-10-6.ars/10 > , Snow Leopard, the latest version of Mac OS X, added "blocks" to C. > The article illustrates this new language construct with the by-now > canonical ARM and home-grown-control-structure examples. > > Hey, Java!
