我一直在阅读很多关于finalize()的Java新手问题，并发现没有人真正清楚地表明finalize()是一种不可靠的清理资源的方法，这有点令人困惑。我看到有人评论说他们用它来清理连接，这真的很可怕，因为唯一接近于保证连接关闭的方法是最后实现try (catch)。
我没有学过CS，但我已经用Java专业编程近十年了，我从来没有见过有人在生产系统中实现finalize()。这并不意味着它没有用处，或者和我一起工作的人一直在做正确的事情。
所以我的问题是，实现finalize()有哪些用例不能通过语言中的另一个进程或语法更可靠地处理?
请提供具体的场景或您的经验，简单地重复Java教科书，或最终确定的预期用途是不够的，因为这不是这个问题的意图。

Be careful about what you do in a finalize(). Especially if you are using it for things like calling close() to ensure that resources are cleaned up. We ran into several situations where we had JNI libraries linked in to the running java code, and in any circumstances where we used finalize() to invoke JNI methods, we would get very bad java heap corruption. The corruption was not caused by the underlying JNI code itself, all of the memory traces were fine in the native libraries. It was just the fact that we were calling JNI methods from the finalize() at all.
这是JDK 1.5，它仍然在广泛使用。
直到很久以后，我们才发现出了问题，但最终罪魁祸首始终是使用JNI调用的finalize()方法。

作为旁注:
覆盖finalize()的对象由垃圾回收器进行特殊处理。通常，在对象不再在作用域中后，在收集周期中立即销毁对象。但是，可终结对象被移到队列中，在队列中，独立的终结线程将耗尽队列并在每个对象上运行finalize()方法。一旦finalize()方法终止，对象就可以在下一个循环中进行垃圾收集了。
源代码:finalize()在java-9上已弃用
嗯，我曾经用它来清理没有返回到现有池的对象。
它们经常被转来转去，所以不可能知道什么时候能安全地放回泳池。问题在于，它在垃圾收集过程中带来了巨大的损失，远远超过了使用对象池节省的成本。在我拆除整个池，让所有内容都变得动态并完成之前，它已经投入了大约一个月的时间。
自1998年以来，我一直在从事Java专业工作，但我从未实现过finalize()。一次也没有。
class MyObject {
Test main;
public MyObject(Test t) {
main = t;
}
protected void finalize() {
main.ref = this; // let instance become reachable again
System.out.println("This is finalize"); //test finalize run only once
}
}
class Test {
MyObject ref;
public static void main(String[] args) {
Test test = new Test();
test.ref = new MyObject(test);
test.ref = null; //MyObject become unreachable，finalize will be invoked
System.gc();
if (test.ref != null) System.out.println("MyObject still alive!");
}
}
====================================
结果:
This is finalize
MyObject still alive!
=====================================
所以你可以在finalize方法中使一个不可达的实例可达。
