Re: [Java-gnome-developer] Use of destroy()

[Jerry H. <wa...@la...>]

It does. The "problem" as I see it though is Java does not allow you to
store pointers natively: period. It's stored as an 'int' now, which is
guarenteed signed 32 bit on ALL PLATFORMS. There is discussion on
changing it to a long, which is signed 64 bit ON ALL PLATFORMS. There is
no "native pointer". It would be nice though! THere is talk on putting
it in a long I think, or a class. I think they both suck though. With a
long you can't fit it all in a register, with a class you have to
derefrence (vtable lookup).
