Enclosing interface:: Closure

public static interface Closure.Handle

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`void`	`dispose()`	Releases the closure memory back to the operating system.
`void`	`free()`	Deprecated.
`long`	`getAddress()`	Gets the native code address of the closure.
`void`	`setAutoRelease(boolean autorelease)`	Sets whether the closure memory should be released when the `Handle` is garbage collected or not.

Method Details
- getAddress
  
  long getAddress()
  
  Gets the native code address of the closure. This can be passed into a native function that takes a function pointer.
  
  Returns:
  
  The native address of the closure code.
- setAutoRelease
  
  void setAutoRelease(boolean autorelease)
  
  Sets whether the closure memory should be released when the Handle is garbage collected or not.
  
  Parameters:
  
  autorelease - If true, the closure memory is automatically managed, else the closure memory must be explicitly freed.
- dispose
  
  void dispose()
  
  Releases the closure memory back to the operating system. Although the closure trampoline memory will normally be released when the Handle is garbage collected, this may not happen for some time, and is non-deterministic. This allows explicit control over memory reclamation.
- free
  
  @Deprecated void free()
  
  Deprecated.
