Runtime: [Question] Why HttpResponseMessage calls GC.SuppressFinalize if it doesn't have a finalizer?

Created on 7 Oct 2020  路  3Comments  路  Source: dotnet/runtime

Hello,
Could you please clarify why HttpResponseMessage calls GC.SuppressFinalize during Dispose if the class doesn't have a finalizer?

As I understand, GC won't finilize an object that doesn't have a finalizer

See https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/42183 for a discussion about this topic.

In essence it's about sub-classing and that a sub-class may have a finalizer.
