CloseGuard Class

Definition

CloseGuard is a mechanism for flagging implicit finalizer cleanup of resources that should have been cleaned up by explicit close methods (aka "explicit termination methods" in Effective Java).

Remarks

CloseGuard is a mechanism for flagging implicit finalizer cleanup of resources that should have been cleaned up by explicit close methods (aka "explicit termination methods" in Effective Java).

A simple example:

{@code
              class Foo {

                  private final CloseGuard guard = new CloseGuard();

                  ...

                  public Foo() {
                      ...;
                      guard.open("cleanup");
                  }

                  public void cleanup() {
                     guard.close();
                     ...;
                     if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 28) {
                         Reference.reachabilityFence(this);
                     }
                     // For full correctness in the absence of a close() call, other methods may also need
                     // reachabilityFence() calls.
                  }

                  protected void finalize() throws Throwable {
                      try {
                          // Note that guard could be null if the constructor threw.
                          if (guard != null) {
                              guard.warnIfOpen();
                          }
                          cleanup();
                      } finally {
                          super.finalize();
                      }
                  }
              }
            }

In usage where the resource to be explicitly cleaned up is allocated after object construction, CloseGuard protection can be deferred. For example:

{@code
              class Bar {

                  private final CloseGuard guard = new CloseGuard();

                  ...

                  public Bar() {
                      ...;
                  }

                  public void connect() {
                     ...;
                     guard.open("cleanup");
                  }

                  public void cleanup() {
                     guard.close();
                     ...;
                     if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 28) {
                         Reference.reachabilityFence(this);
                     }
                     // For full correctness in the absence of a close() call, other methods may also need
                     // reachabilityFence() calls.
                  }

                  protected void finalize() throws Throwable {
                      try {
                          // Note that guard could be null if the constructor threw.
                          if (guard != null) {
                              guard.warnIfOpen();
                          }
                          cleanup();
                      } finally {
                          super.finalize();
                      }
                  }
              }
            }

When used in a constructor, calls to open should occur at the end of the constructor since an exception that would cause abrupt termination of the constructor will mean that the user will not have a reference to the object to cleanup explicitly. When used in a method, the call to open should occur just after resource acquisition.
