Java destruction

[Ernest Friedman-Hill]

A simple, but funny, entry on TheDailyWTF.

You really haven't read about JIBE? That's Java Intention Based Execution. The compiler sees the intention of the programmer was to destruct the object, and will generate code to do so....

loved the jibes!

[Seetharaman Venkatasamy]

so, what is the conclusion ? why we need this

   

public class Destruction {
    public static void delete(Object object){
        object = null;
    }
}

[Paul Sturrock]

...ehm, we don't. That's the point of the WTF.

since the argument is a object. a copy of the reference value will be passed to the method. so the original object in the heap is still being pointed to.

this class & method does nothing but brainfu*k
