A colleague of mine sets reference to null in finally blocks. I think this is nonsense.
public Something getSomething() {
JDBCConnection jdbc=null;
try {
jdbc=JDBCManager.getConnection(JDBCTypes.MYSQL);
}
finally {
JDBCManager.free(jdbc);
jdbc=null; // <-- Useful or not?
}
}
What do you think of it?
