Java - Can objects which are executing methods be garbage-collected?

Question

In Java, I\'ve done things like the following without thinking much about it:

public class Main {

    public void run() {
        // ...
    }

    public s         


        

Answer 1

If an object method is being executed, it means someone is in possession of that reference. So no, an object can't be GC'd while a method is being executed.
