[jmm-dev] ECOOP, JVMLS

[Hans Boehm]

That's probably a valid criticism.  I did give a 2005(?) JavaOne talk on
the subject, which was attended by about 1000.

There are currently several possible variants of the pattern, all ugly.
 One variant is at slide 35 in
http://hboehm.info/misc_slides/java_finalizers.pdf (essentially the slides
from that ancient JavaOne talk, which no longer seem to be available from a
more official site, but were for a number of years).
