But is that memory allocated out of the chunk of VM reserved as the HEAP?
I doubt it... I don't think it even blongs to the same process does it?
Seems to me that it would have to belong to the Xserver's process... in
the Xserver's address space and potentially on the Xserver's machine
(as in a different machine than the JVM).
By the same token if I go into native code by way of JNI and malloc 28Mb
of main store, yes it comes out of the process address space that the JVM
is running in, but it does not come out of the *heap*. The only thing that
GC tracks in terms of memory usage is the amount of it's _reserved_ memory
(the current heap) has been _commited_; at least on any JVM I've ever seen
the guts of.
p.s. [OT] I sure wish people would stop posting this "text/alternate"
<x-html> stuff in public places... can a list serve be set to strip
that tripe out I wonder?
