Garbage Collection - Q

[Alan Hermin]

Hi all .. i am little confusing about GC() , take question:

class A{}

class Test{
void m1(){
Test t=new Test(); //12
t.foo();
} //end method
}//end Test class

my question :if method m1() is called,is Test object refernced by t is elegible for Garbage Collection after method m1() complete ?


THANKS....

What I think is, the Test object referenced by t will be eligible for garbage collection if and only if "foo() doesn't give the reference of the Test object to any other thread alive in the program"

yes, I think that the object would be eligible for Garbage Collection, once the method m1 finishes execution.
