All Implemented Interfaces:
IAddressSpace, IMemory, IProcess
public class BufferedMemory extends AbstractMemory implements IProcess, IAddressSpace
Object representing a single live process model where a section of memory in a the process can be represented in a byte buffer as its source
See Also:
  • invalid reference 
    Can be used for inspection of the
scc, without the need of a core file
For example in the following, it is
used to inspect romMethods:


BufferedMemory memory = new BufferedMemory(ByteOrder.nativeOrder());
IVMData aVMData = VMDataFactory.getVMData((IProcess)memory);
//this address denotes the beginning of range of interest, not shown here
memory.addMemorySource(new BufferedMemorySource(sourceStartAddress, size));
aVMData.bootstrap("com.ibm.j9ddr.vm29.SomeDebugHandler");

public class SomeDebugHandler {
 //can fetch this address from a ROMClass Cookie
 J9ROMClassPointer pointer = J9ROMClassPointer.cast(romStartAddress);
 J9ROMMethodPointer romMethod = pointer.romMethods();
 long dumpFlags = (ByteOrder.nativeOrder() == ByteOrder.BIG_ENDIAN) ? 1 : 0;
 J9BCUtil.j9bcutil_dumpRomMethod(System.out, romMethod, pointer, dumpFlags, J9BCUtil.BCUtil_DumpAnnotations);
}


Behaviour of the model is not defined
for the case where the underlying source's
ByteBuffer is modified (address or capacity)
during use.
