Hi,
I am confused, why JVM is providing its own garbage collector to
programmer. If we call gc() explicitly and it will get decided by JVM
whether to call it or not. Then what is the use of it for programmer.
Is JVM is not smart enough to handle the gc() call when going out of
memory. i.e. (OutOfMemoryException)
If I write a code and I have doubt that memory is not available i
need to handle exception in that case. And I (programmer) need to call
gc() method to free some memory from objects eligible for garbage
collection.
If JVM is smart enough it should handle OutOfMemoryException it self
and call gc() method.
One more doubt. Does JVM call gc() before throwing OutOfMemoryException.
