Class UtlReferenceTracker

java.lang.Object
  com.neeve.util.UtlReferenceTracker

public class UtlReferenceTracker
extends Object

Tracks references for a reference counted object.

Reference tracking is enabled as follows:

• Globally by setting the X Runtime property nv.reftracking.enabled=true
• Globally by setting the X Runtime property nv.reftracking.types=*
• On a type by type basis using nv.reftracking.types=fullclassname1[|fullclassnameN] (a list of fully qualified class names delimited by '|')

Reference tracking is very expensive and should only be enabled when debugging reference counting issues.

This class IS NOT intended to be used by end users.

Method Detail

onUndispose

public final void onUndispose(int oldCount,
                              int initCount)

onInit

public final void onInit(int initCount)

onAcquire

onDispose

public final void onDispose(int newCount)

dump

public final void dump()

dump

public final void dump(StringBuilder sb)

setAssociatedTracker

public void setAssociatedTracker(UtlReferenceTracker associatedTracker)

Sets a tracker associated with this tracker, for example a parent or child tracker. When this tracker's history is dumped the associated history will be included.

NOTE: Cycles of associations are not currently supported and will result in an infinite dump loop.

Parameters:

associatedTracker - A tracker associated with this one.

enabled

public static boolean enabled(Class<?> type)

Tests if reference tracking is enabled for the given type.

Parameters:

type - The type to check against for reference tracking.

Returns:

True if enabled.
