Description
Developers should get a information that Element.empty
fires only dispose
(against my first guess of destroy
) on all children. Maybe a advise like Call myElement.getChildren().destroy() to prepare all items for garbage collection
should help, too.
I didn't know it before I have took a look into the code and have now some troubles resulting out this.
Also possible: since nobody should know it without looking in the code, I would recommend to call destroy
instead of dispose
like @kentaromiura it did in his pull request #2351 (4c68d39) to prevent a memory leak. But the hint mentioned above should also do it.
