This class contains constants that describe the object header layout.

Field Summary

static int	arrayHeaderSize The size (in bytes) of an object header for an array object.
static int	arrayHeaderTag The object header format tag value specifying an array object header.
static int	basicHeaderSize The size (in bytes) of an object header for a non-array, non-method-body object.
static int	basicHeaderTag The object header format tag value specifying a non-array, non-method-body object header.
static int	BITS_PER_BYTE The number of bits per byte.
static int	BITS_PER_WORD The number of bits in a pointer.
static int	BYTES_PER_WORD The size (in bytes) of a pointer.
static int	forwardPointerBit The bit in a class pointer word that is set if the object has been forwarded.
static int	headerTagBits The number of low order bits in the first word of an object header that specify the format of the object header.
static int	headerTagMask The mask that is applied to the first word of an object header to extract the format tag.
static int	klass The offset (in words) from an object's address to the class pointer in the object's header.
static int	length The offset (in words) from an object's address to array length in the object's header.
static int	LOG2_BITS_PER_BYTE The amount by which to right shift a bit index to yield the byte in a bitmap containing the indexed bit.
static int	LOG2_BITS_PER_WORD The amount by which to right shift a bit index to yield the word in a bitmap containing the indexed bit.
static int	LOG2_BYTES_PER_WORD The amount by which to right shift a byte offset to find the offset of the word that contains the indexed byte.
static int	methodDefiningClass The offset (in words) from an method body's address to the defining class pointer in the method body's header.
static int	methodHeaderTag The object header format tag value specifying a mehod body object header.
