2123994 9310504 PCTABS00022 Frequently some final action or sequence of actions needs to be taken when a memory object becomes a garbage object, beyond simply reclaiming the memory occupied by such objects. An automated finalization mechanism performs such a pre-specified set of actions when it has determined that a memory object has become garbage. A postmortem finalization mechanism performs these finalization actions only after the garbage object has actually been reclaimed by the system's garbage collector. Delaying the execution of the finalization actions until the object in question has been fully reclaimed prevents this object from accidentally being resurrected as a possible side effect of the finalization actions. A mechanism for supporting postmortem finalization is constructed by extending the capabilities of an automatic storage-reclamation system.
