GC.KeepAlive(Object) Methode

public:
 static void KeepAlive(System::Object ^ obj);

public static void KeepAlive(object obj);

public static void KeepAlive(object? obj);

static member KeepAlive : obj -> unit

Public Shared Sub KeepAlive (obj As Object)

Im folgenden Codebeispiel wird am Anfang der Main -Methode ein -Objekt erstellt und erst wieder auf das -Objekt verwiesen, wenn die KeepAlive -Methode aufgerufen wird. Das -Objekt wird für die Dauer von 30 Sekunden der Main -Methode beibehalten, obwohl die Collect Methoden und WaitForPendingFinalizers aufgerufen werden.

Der Zweck der KeepAlive -Methode besteht darin, sicherzustellen, dass ein Verweis auf ein Objekt vorhanden ist, das gefahrlos vom Garbage Collector freigegeben wird. Ein häufiges Szenario, in dem dies passieren kann, ist, wenn es in verwaltetem Code oder in verwalteten Daten keine Verweise auf das Objekt gibt, aber das Objekt weiterhin in nicht verwaltetem Code verwendet wird, z. B. Windows-APIs, nicht verwaltete DLLs oder Methoden, die COM verwenden.

Diese Methode verweist auf den obj Parameter, sodass dieses Objekt vom Anfang der Routine bis zu dem Punkt in der Ausführungsreihenfolge, an dem diese Methode aufgerufen wird, für die Garbage Collection nicht mehr geeignet ist. Programmieren Sie diese Methode am Ende, nicht am Anfang des Anweisungsbereichs, in dem obj verfügbar sein muss.

Die KeepAlive -Methode führt keinen Vorgang aus und erzeugt keine anderen Nebeneffekte als die Verlängerung der Lebensdauer des als Parameter übergebenen Objekts.
