Static reference nextDisplayable in Alert class hinders GC #13

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
First of all, thank you for MicroEmulator .. living alone with WTK would be
a PITA.

Now to the issue, the title says it already. The static reference is not
really a leak, as this reference gets refreshed when a new Alert is
displayed so that finally the previous object referenced by
Alert.nextDisplayable may get garbage collected. However this reference
makes profiling for real memory leaks complicated. Things would be easier
if this reference would be an instance field.

Thanks and cheers,
Oben

BTW.. I'm using MicroEmu 2.0.3

An alternative to making it an instance field would be to simply set it
null once it has been used.
