Sorry for being such a pain
, but I have yet another question. Does the garbage collector run in it's own
thread? If so, is it considered a user thread or a daemon thread? I heard somewhere that the gc cannot outlive the last user thread - which would make sense because it would be rather silly to run the gc even after the application has ended (which occurs once the last user thread has died and the system kills off all remaining daemon threads). So, does this imply somehow that the gc is a daemon thread??? Thank you!!!
