Interface JavaHeap

public interface JavaHeap

Represents a heap of managed objects.

There may be multiple heaps within a JVM, for instance a generational heap and a class heap. Additionally, heaps may consist of non-contiguous memory regions. For instance, an object heap may be divided into a hot and cold section.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
boolean	equals(Object obj) Compares the argument to the receiver, and answers true if they represent the same object using a class specific comparison.
String	getName() Get a brief textual description of this heap.
Iterator	getObjects() Get the set of objects which are stored in this heap.
Iterator	getSections() Get the set of contiguous memory regions which form this heap.
int	hashCode() Answers an integer hash code for the receiver.

Method Detail

getSections

Iterator getSections()

Returns:

a brief textual description of this heap

equals

boolean equals(Object obj)

Description copied from class: java.lang.Object

Compares the argument to the receiver, and answers true if they represent the same object using a class specific comparison. The implementation in Object answers true only if the argument is the exact same object as the receiver (==).

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

obj -

Returns:

True if the given object refers to the same Java Heap in the image

See Also:

Object.hashCode()

hashCode

int hashCode()

Description copied from class: java.lang.Object

Answers an integer hash code for the receiver. Any two objects which answer true when passed to .equals must answer the same value for this method.

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

Returns:

the receiver's hash.
