Indeed, not all per pass...

I find that, in Squeak, compared to VisualAge, for instance, that finalisation rarely happens regularly... This does tend to lead to quite prolonged processing when most critical...

----- Original message -----

Bill, I always tell people

(a) finalization will occur later, not when you think it should

(b) finalization will occur slower/faster than you think.

You're violating (a)

There is mention of doing a full GC will force the finalization, but I can't recall if that finalizes (all) objects in old oops space in one pass with squeak.

Various Smalltalk flavours and versions do things differently, some at different times & versions perhaps would only finalize one oops per pass (visualage).
