Hi guys. I am since yesterday trying to find something and I cannot. So at this point I need external eyes :)<br>I have this little code:<br>��� <br>��� anObject := ClassWith2Var new.<br>��� sharedObject := ClassWith1Var new. <br>
��� sharedObject var1: &#39;nose&#39;.<br>��� anObject var1: Date today.<br>��� anObject var2: sharedObject.<br>��� <br>��� serializedObjects := FuelMareaSerializer new serializeAndWriteObject: anObject to: &#39;aFileName&#39;.<br>
��� anObject := nil.<br>��� sharedObject := nil.<br><br>��� 3 timesRepeat: [Smalltalk garbageCollect].<br>��� serializedObjects inspect.<br><br><br><br>What is important here is that FuelMareaSerializer new serializeAndWriteObject: anObject to: &#39;aFileName&#39; answers a WeakOrderedCollection with each object of the serialized graph (taking anObject as the root)<br>
Now, if I print the tempVar serializedObjects I see:<br><br>a WeakOrderedCollection(ClassWith1Var ClassWith2Var Date DateAndTime Duration a ClassWith1Var a ClassWith2Var 3 August 2011 2011-08-03T00:00:00+02:00 0:02:00:00 1:00:00:00 86400 2455777 &#39;nose&#39; 0 7200)<br>
<br>WHYYYY??� why are all there if I put a nil to both, anObject and sharedObejct. This WeakOrderedCollection should be with all nils (except classes). Why are not being garbage collected?<br><br>If I explore, for example the tempVar sharedObejct, which is at serializedObjects at: 6�� and then I put explore pointers I ONLY see the array of the WeakOrderedCollection pointing to it. I don&#39;t understand. <br>
<br>Any help is really appreaciated.<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Mariano<br><a href="http://marianopeck.wordpress.com" target="_blank">http://marianopeck.wordpress.com</a><br><br>
