关于java垃圾回收

 Given:  
public   class   X   {
        public   object   m()   {
                object   o   =   new   float   (3.14F);               //line   3
                object   []   oa   =   new   object   [1];
                oa[0]=   o;               //line   5
                o   =   null;               //line   6
                oa[0]   =   null;       //line   7
                return   o;               //line   8
        }
}  
When   is   the   float   object   created   in   line   3,   eligible   for  
garbage   collection?  
A.   Just   after   line   5
B.   Just   after   line   6
C.   Just   after   line   7
D.   Just   after   line   8(that   is,   as   the   method   returns)  
答案C
 

Given:
1. public class X (
2. public object m () {
3. object o = new float (3.14F);
4. object [] oa = new object [1];
5. oa[0]= o;
6. o = null;
7. return oa[0];
8. }
9. )
When is the float object created in line 3, eligible for garbage collection?
A. Just after line 5
B. Just after line 6
C. Just after line 7 (that is, as the method returns)
D. Never in this method.
答案: D
 

任何对象名都只是类实例化后，开辟的那一片内存空间首地址的别名

o虽然被null了，但是oa[0]仍然在使用这片空间，所以这片空间是不回被回收的
