WHAT DOES FINALIZER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Finalizer

In object-oriented programming, a finalizer or finalize method is a special method that performs finalization, generally some form of cleanup. A finalizer is executed during object destruction, prior to the object being deallocated, and is complementary to an initializer, which is executed during object creation, following allocation. Finalizers are strongly discouraged by many, due to difficulty in proper use and the complexity they add, and alternatives are suggested instead, primarily the dispose pattern – see problems with finalizers. The term "finalizer" is primarily used in object-oriented languages that use garbage collection, of which the archetype is Java. This is contrasted with a "destructor", which is a method called for finalization in languages with deterministic object lifetimes, archetypically C++. These are generally exclusive – a language will have either finalizers or destructors, but in rare cases a language may have both, as in C++/CLI, and in case of reference counting, terminology varies.

Definition of finalizer in the English dictionary

The definition of finalizer in the dictionary is a person, thing or event which finalizes a situation or process. Other definition of finalizer is a function in some programming languages which is run upon garbage collection.
