try-with-resources and null resource (original) (raw)

This is a misleading analogy. The thing that a resource declaration most resembles is not try, switch, for, or synchronized, but an ordinary variable declaration with initializer.

This code doesn't throw NPE when initializing r with null: R r = get(); try { maybeUse(r); } finally { r.close(); }

But if R is a primitive type, it can throw during initialization. 8-)
