Comments on: object references in event handlers prevent GC http://words.transmote.com/wp/20090321/object-references-in-event-handlers-prevent-gc/ design + art + code Thu, 09 Sep 2010 04:20:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: ericsoco http://words.transmote.com/wp/20090321/object-references-in-event-handlers-prevent-gc/comment-page-1/#comment-18 ericsoco Sun, 22 Mar 2009 18:46:47 +0000 http://words.transmote.com/wp/?p=51#comment-18 haven't tested that, but i imagine it's fine. i think the problem with using it inside the event handler has to do with the way event handlers are stored in EventDispatcher instance queues; for some reason, using something like Keyboard in there keeps the event handler from getting properly removed from the EventDispatcher queue. calls from the event handler are not stored inside the EventDispatcher queue, and should not be an issue. just a guess. haven’t tested that, but i imagine it’s fine. i think the problem with using it inside the event handler has to do with the way event handlers are stored in EventDispatcher instance queues; for some reason, using something like Keyboard in there keeps the event handler from getting properly removed from the EventDispatcher queue. calls from the event handler are not stored inside the EventDispatcher queue, and should not be an issue.
