Nick Coghlan<br>> A simple Boolean attribute (e.g. __finalized__) should be enough. ...<br>> If it's both present and true, the GC can ignore the finaliser on that instance<br><br>That doesn't really take care of resource release, which needs to be
<br>called, and called early.(And the name will sound odd if it holds<br>resources only sometimes, so that it has to flip the __finalized__<br>attribute.)</blockquote></span></div><div style="direction: ltr;"><div><br>Well, I don't want to sound too gross, but any such class could store its resources *in* __finalized__, leaving it an empty container when there is no resource to release.
