garbage-collection

Hello all, I am not a comp science guy. Managed resources are allocated on the heap. But I would like to know where unmanaged resources are allocated. If unmanaged resources are also allocated on the heap, is it the same heap used by managed resources or a different one?

Thanks in advance.

Dynamic Type to do away with Reflection

In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More

I was wondering how the garbage collector in Java deals with the following situation. Object A has a reference to Object B and Object B has a reference to Object C. The main program has a reference to Object A. So you can use Object B trough Object A, and Object C trough Object B trough Object… >>> More
