Resource Deallocation in COM and Java
by Robert J. Oberg
A significant issue in programming is proper
deallocation of resources. A common
example is deallocating memory which has previously
been allocated dynamically. If the
program does not deallocate such memory,
there will be a "memory leak."
There are various ways in which a failure to
deallocate resources can manifest. In an application
that runs for only a limited time, some memory leaks
may be benign, as the system may automatically
reclaim memory when the system is shut down.
For a long-running program, such as on a server,
the damage may build over time, and performance may
begin to suffer and the system eventually crash.
Robert Oberg's "Resource Deallocation in COM and Java"
article explains the steps that you can take to
avoid writing code that causes memory leaks.
