In Java this is the case:
public void method() {
if (condition) {
Object x = ....;
}
System.out.println(x); // Error: x unavailable
}
What I'm wondering is this: Is the fact that x is limited to the scope of the if-statement just a feature of the Java compiler, or is x actually removed from the stack after the if-statement?
