System.gc()与Runtime.getRuntime().gc()区别

首先,我们需要明确一点的是,两个gc都会强制触发垃圾收集,它们只是向JVM建议,现在也许是收集垃圾的好时机。

比较

System.gc()调用起来更方便,但是会给应用带来不必要的性能问题。还可以通过参数-XX:+DisableExplicitGC.禁止显示调用gc。

Runtime.getRuntime()用来与Java运行时进行交互,调用该方法会建议JVM花费精力回收不再使用的对象。

源代码

System.gc()源代码, 来自System.java

    /**
     * Runs the garbage collector.
     * 

* Calling the gc method suggests that the Java Virtual * Machine expend effort toward recycling unused objects in order to * make the memory they currently occupy available for quick reuse. * When control returns from the method call, the Java Virtual * Machine has made a best effort to reclaim space from all discarded * objects. *

* The call System.gc() is effectively equivalent to the * call: *

     * Runtime.getRuntime().gc()
     * 
* * @see java.lang.Runtime#gc() */
public static void gc() { Runtime.getRuntime().gc(); }

Runtime.getRuntime().gc()源代码,来自Runtime.java.

    /**
     * Runs the garbage collector.
     * Calling this method suggests that the Java virtual machine expend
     * effort toward recycling unused objects in order to make the memory
     * they currently occupy available for quick reuse. When control
     * returns from the method call, the virtual machine has made
     * its best effort to recycle all discarded objects.
     * 

* The name gc stands for "garbage * collector". The virtual machine performs this recycling * process automatically as needed, in a separate thread, even if the * gc method is not invoked explicitly. *

* The method {@link System#gc()} is the conventional and convenient * means of invoking this method. */ public native void gc();

            TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(2000);
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            log.error("sleep exception", ex);
        }
    }
}

程序运行输出(不同机器运行结果不一样)
16:39:22.616 [main] INFO com.yq.GcMainDemo - System.gc(), maxMemBefore=244672784, maxMemAfter=253615304, diff=8732kb
16:39:22.635 [main] INFO com.yq.GcMainDemo - Runtime.getRuntime().gc(), maxMemBefore=250951864, maxMemAfter=253949240, diff=2927kb

结论

两者一样。除了方法名称不同, System.gc()是静态方法, 而Runtime.getRuntime().gc()是实例方法,没有实质差别。
