Method Details

dispose

public static void dispose(Process process,
 OutputStream ouputStream,
 InputStream inputStream)

Disposes the given Process and related streams from a background thread. This is necessary due to a low-probability deadlock that occurs in the JVM.

Parameters:

process - The process to destroy.

ouputStream - The output stream to close

inputStream - The input stream to close

dispose

public static void dispose(DecompInterface decompiler)

Calls dispose in the given decompiler from a background thread.

Note:
A class to handle the rare case where the DecompInterface's synchronized methods are blocking while a decompile operation has died and maintained the lock. In that scenario, calling dispose on this class will eventually try to enter a synchronized method that will remain blocked forever.

I examined the uses of dispose() on the DecompInterface and determined that calling dispose() is a final operation, which means that you don't have to wait. Further, after calling dispose() on this class, you should no longer use it.

Parameters:

decompiler - the decompiler
