I don't think you need it in C. RPG doesn't handle java objects very
well. The RPG program retains a reference to the object such that the
garbage collecter can't clear it from memory. C can play around with
the object without hanging on to a reference.
Sorry, this is pure poppycock. C and RPG both interact with Java using
the same API, the JNI API. Object cleanup is handled in exactly the
same way between the two languages.
Object cleanup is the same. The calls to the API are also the same.
The only difference is that the RPG compiler has built-in support to
generate those API calls for you based on prototypes you write, instead
of you having to code it all yourself. So for calling methods, RPG is
easier than C, even though they result in the same code from Java's
perspective.
But, from the object cleanup perspective, the two languages are identical.
