Re: Do you use a garbage collector (java vs c++ difference in "new")

An interesting idea. Responding to your earlier request for an output
line for each deletion, I added a finalize method. Then I cut down the
number of loops to 1000, and ran it. I got this:

init:
deps-jar:
Compiling 1 source file to
C:\Users\Brenden\Dev\misc\FinalizeTest\build\classes
compile:
run:
finalizetest.Main@1eed786
Time: 2 ms
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 0 seconds)

Hmmm..... although increasing the loops does produce more output,
increasing the loops to one million only produces ~7k lines of total output.

Code below:

package finalizetest;

public class Main
{

     private static final int LOOPS = 1000;
     private static final int MODULUS = 5000000;

     Main( int c )
     {
         count = c;
     }

     int count;

     public static void main( String[] arg )
     {

         long start = System.currentTimeMillis();

         for ( int i = 0; i < LOOPS; i++ )
         {
             Main test = new Main( i );
             if ( i % MODULUS == 0 )
             {
                 System.out.println( test );
             }
         }
         long end = System.currentTimeMillis();
         System.out.println( "Time: " + ( end - start ) + " ms" );

     }

     @Override
     protected void finalize() throws Throwable
     {
         System.out.println( "Finalized: " + this );
         super.finalize();
     }
}
