Public Methods

public abstract void release (T value)

Release the given value.

After calling this method, the caller is no longer responsible for managing lifetime of the value.

This method is not permitted to throw an exception and is always required to succeed. It is often called from contexts like catch blocks or finally blocks to cleanup resources. Throwing an exception could result in swallowing the original exception.
