| // A Symbol is a canonicalized string. |
| // All Symbols reside in global SymbolTable and are reference counted. |
| |
| // Reference counting |
| // |
| // All Symbols are allocated and added to the SymbolTable. |
| // When a class is unloaded, the reference counts of the Symbol pointers in |
| // the ConstantPool and in InstanceKlass (see release_C_heap_structures) are |
| // decremented. When the reference count for a Symbol goes to 0, the garbage |
| // collector can free the Symbol and remove it from the SymbolTable. |
| // |
| // 0) Symbols need to be reference counted when a pointer to the Symbol is |
| // saved in persistent storage. This does not include the pointer |
| // in the SymbolTable bucket (the _literal field in HashtableEntry) |
| // that points to the Symbol. All other stores of a Symbol* |
| // to a field of a persistent variable (e.g., the _name filed in |
| // fieldDescriptor or _ptr in a CPSlot) is reference counted. |
| // |
| // 1) The lookup of a "name" in the SymbolTable either creates a Symbol F for |
| // "name" and returns a pointer to F or finds a pre-existing Symbol F for |
| // "name" and returns a pointer to it. In both cases the reference count for F |
| // is incremented under the assumption that a pointer to F will be created from |
| // the return value. Thus the increment of the reference count is on the lookup |
| // and not on the assignment to the new Symbol*. That is |
| // Symbol* G = lookup() |
| // ^ increment on lookup() |
| // and not |
| // Symbol* G = lookup() |
| // ^ increment on assignmnet |
| // The reference count must be decremented manually when the copy of the |
| // pointer G is destroyed. |
| // |
| // 2) For a local Symbol* A that is a copy of an existing Symbol* B, the |
| // reference counting is elided when the scope of B is greater than the scope |
| // of A. For example, in the code fragment |
| // below "klass" is passed as a parameter to the method. Symbol* "kn" |
| // is a copy of the name in "klass". |
| // |
| // Symbol* kn = klass->name(); |
| // unsigned int d_hash = dictionary()->compute_hash(kn, class_loader); |
| // |
| // The scope of "klass" is greater than the scope of "kn" so the reference |
| // counting for "kn" is elided. |
| // |
| // Symbol* copied from ConstantPool entries are good candidates for reference |
| // counting elision. The ConstantPool entries for a class C exist until C is |
| // unloaded. If a Symbol* is copied out of the ConstantPool into Symbol* X, |
| // the Symbol* in the ConstantPool will in general out live X so the reference |
| // counting on X can be elided. |
| // |
| // For cases where the scope of A is not greater than the scope of B, |
| // the reference counting is explicitly done. See ciSymbol, |
| // ResolutionErrorEntry and ClassVerifier for examples. |
| // |
| // 3) When a Symbol K is created for temporary use, generally for substrings of |
| // an existing symbol or to create a new symbol, assign it to a |
| // TempNewSymbol. The SymbolTable methods new_symbol(), lookup() |
| // and probe() all potentially return a pointer to a new Symbol. |
| // The allocation (or lookup) of K increments the reference count for K |
| // and the destructor decrements the reference count. |
| // |
| // Another example of TempNewSymbol usage is parsed_name used in |
| // ClassFileParser::parseClassFile() where parsed_name is used in the cleanup |
| // after a failed attempt to load a class. Here parsed_name is a |
| // TempNewSymbol (passed in as a parameter) so the reference count on its symbol |
| // will be decremented when it goes out of scope. |
| |
| |
| // This cannot be inherited from ResourceObj because it cannot have a vtable. |
| // Since sometimes this is allocated from Metadata, pick a base allocation |
| // type without virtual functions. |
