NewGlobalRef的弱引用仍然可以防止垃圾收集对象

问题描述

为了实现从本地代码到Java代码的回调函数，我必须使用包含 WeakReference 的对象引用可以被强制访问。

<我想你可能会误解内存分析器告诉你的是什么。特别是，我希望它能够显示 WeakReference 包含的引用可以到达，直到GC决定断开链接。在普通静态变量中尝试使用 WeakReference 进行实验。

更新

我开始认为这是JNI的正常行为 NewGlobalRef 。 JNI文档（一如既往）对方法的行为非常含糊。

请注意，还有一个名为 NewGlobalWeakRef ;请参阅。如果没有其他的话， NewGlobalWeakRef 提供了另一种做你正在做的事情的方法。

To implement a callback function from the native code to Java code, I have to create a global reference using NewGloabRef . From the memory profile , I found that ,once I called env->NewGlobalRef(weak_this), even it was a weak reference of the player object, the Player object will be available as Root Objects, which I think will prevent it from being garbage collected.

But my understanding is the weak reference won't prevent the object from garbage collected.

//java code

Player{

native_init(new WeakReference(this)),

}

//JNi code

//listener 
Listener::Listener(jobject weak_this)
{

//will use mObject for callback 
mObject = env->NewGlobalRef(weak_this);

}


xxxx_Player_native_init(xxxx. Object weak_this)
{

Listener l = new Listener(weak_this);

}

EDIT:

memory profile :

 Root Object 0x2C820E10 <com/trident/tv/media/player/JniTPlayer>
  com/trident/tv/media/player/JniTPlayer.trace : 0x2C83CC54 <java/lang/String>
  com/trident/tv/media/player/JniTPlayer.listenerList : 0x2C820E64 <java/util/Vector>

log of JNI

[JNI] NewGlobalRef(0x2C820E10 [com/trident/tv/media/player/JniTPlayer]) : 0x2C820E10

解决方案

A WeakReference is a Java object with an ordinary reference to it. It contains a reference to another object. It is the contained reference that is "weak", not the reference to the WeakReference itself.

So when you call env->NewGlobalRef(weak_this) (assuming weak_this is a WeakReference), the effect is the same as assigning weak_this to a static. It doesn't cause the object reference contained by the WeakReference to be strongly reachable.

I think you may be misinterpreting what the memory profiler is telling you. In particular, I would expect it to show the contained reference of a WeakReference to be reachable ... up until the GC decided to break the link. Try an experiment with an WeakReference in an ordinary static variable.

UPDATE

I'm starting to think that this is normal behaviour for JNI NewGlobalRef. The JNI documentation is (as always) very vague about the method's behaviour.

Note that there is also a JNI method called NewGlobalWeakRef; see http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jni/html/refs.html#27531. If nothing else, NewGlobalWeakRef provides an alternative way of doing what you are trying to do.
