Hi Randy,
I've always wondered what the point of a System.gc() was... what applications would calling System.gc() be useful if the JVM has the right to choose wether or not it gets called?
It's _hinting_ to the system that it might be appropriate to run gc now. As for under what circumstances it might take notice, the java documentation might help you more. A useful scenario is if you are about to allocate a large amount of memory, and you'd like to free up space from objects you declared earlier (and out of scope).
Does anyone know of an actual useful implementation of System.gc()?
Do you ever run out of memory in your java programs? (and it's not your fault?) Then Sun's implementation is useful :) -- Michael
