JVM Runtime constant pool
Submitted by rishabh2u on Sat, 05/30/2009 - 09:17.
Hi there,
this is my query:
As we know java builds a constant pool for all the symbols if a class in a class file. This class file when loaded by VM, the constant pool is translated into the runtime constant pool in the method area of the Heap.
Does any one know if there is only 1 runtime constant pool per class or is it 1 per class instance(Object). The JVM spec did not clarify on this. Also if its 1 per class then how does the JVM know where all the instances of a class are while resolving references and also when garbage collecting???
thank a lot.
Rishabh.
