The garbage collector doesn’t know how to call DeleteHandle() on a variable of type IntPtr, it doesn’t know whether or not it needs to call DeleteHandle(). Note: What is an unmanaged … Read more
What algorithms are used? Java uses TLAB (Thread Local Allocation Buffers) for “normal” sized objects. This means each thread grab some Eden space and turns this grab of memory into individual objects. Thus small objects are typically sequential in memory for that thread, except if a new chunk of memory needs to be grabbed. Large … Read more
C++ destruction is deterministic, garbage collection is not. In C++ you can guarantee when destructors will be called, in Java there is no such guarantee at all. In fact, your destructors might never be called in Java.
