29 * Class {@code Object} is the root of the class hierarchy.
30 * Every class has {@code Object} as a superclass. All objects,
31 * including arrays, implement the methods of this class.
34 * @see java.lang.Class
39 private static native void registerNatives();
45 * Returns the runtime class of this {@code Object}. The returned
46 * {@code Class} object is the object that is locked by {@code
47 * static synchronized} methods of the represented class.
49 * <p><b>The actual result type is {@code Class<? extends |X|>}
50 * where {@code |X|} is the erasure of the static type of the
51 * expression on which {@code getClass} is called.</b> For
52 * example, no cast is required in this code fragment:</p>
55 * {@code Number n = 0; }<br>
56 * {@code Class<? extends Number> c = n.getClass(); }
59 * @return The {@code Class} object that represents the runtime
60 * class of this object.

64 public final native Class<?> getClass();
67 * Returns a hash code value for the object. This method is
68 * supported for the benefit of hash tables such as those provided by
69 * {@link java.util.HashMap}.
71 * The general contract of {@code hashCode} is:
73 * <li>Whenever it is invoked on the same object more than once during
74 * an execution of a Java application, the {@code hashCode} method
75 * must consistently return the same integer, provided no information
76 * used in {@code equals} comparisons on the object is modified.
77 * This integer need not remain consistent from one execution of an
78 * application to another execution of the same application.
79 * <li>If two objects are equal according to the {@code equals(Object)}
80 * method, then calling the {@code hashCode} method on each of
81 * the two objects must produce the same integer result.
82 * <li>It is <em>not</em> required that if two objects are unequal
83 * according to the {@link java.lang.Object#equals(java.lang.Object)}
84 * method, then calling the {@code hashCode} method on each of the
85 * two objects must produce distinct integer results. However, the
86 * programmer should be aware that producing distinct integer results
87 * for unequal objects may improve the performance of hash tables.
90 * As much as is reasonably practical, the hashCode method defined by
91 * class {@code Object} does return distinct integers for distinct
92 * objects. (This is typically implemented by converting the internal
93 * address of the object into an integer, but this implementation
94 * technique is not required by the
95 * Java<font size="-2"><sup>TM</sup></font> programming language.)
97 * @return a hash code value for this object.
98 * @see java.lang.Object#equals(java.lang.Object)
99 * @see java.lang.System#identityHashCode
101 public native int hashCode();
104 * Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
106 * The {@code equals} method implements an equivalence relation
107 * on non-null object references:
109 * <li>It is <i>reflexive</i>: for any non-null reference value
110 * {@code x}, {@code x.equals(x)} should return
112 * <li>It is <i>symmetric</i>: for any non-null reference values
113 * {@code x} and {@code y}, {@code x.equals(y)}
114 * should return {@code true} if and only if
115 * {@code y.equals(x)} returns {@code true}.
116 * <li>It is <i>transitive</i>: for any non-null reference values
117 * {@code x}, {@code y}, and {@code z}, if
118 * {@code x.equals(y)} returns {@code true} and
119 * {@code y.equals(z)} returns {@code true}, then
120 * {@code x.equals(z)} should return {@code true}.
121 * <li>It is <i>consistent</i>: for any non-null reference values
122 * {@code x} and {@code y}, multiple invocations of
123 * {@code x.equals(y)} consistently return {@code true}
124 * or consistently return {@code false}, provided no
125 * information used in {@code equals} comparisons on the
126 * objects is modified.
127 * <li>For any non-null reference value {@code x},
128 * {@code x.equals(null)} should return {@code false}.
131 * The {@code equals} method for class {@code Object} implements
132 * the most discriminating possible equivalence relation on objects;
133 * that is, for any non-null reference values {@code x} and
134 * {@code y}, this method returns {@code true} if and only
135 * if {@code x} and {@code y} refer to the same object
136 * ({@code x == y} has the value {@code true}).
138 * Note that it is generally necessary to override the {@code hashCode}
139 * method whenever this method is overridden, so as to maintain the
140 * general contract for the {@code hashCode} method, which states
141 * that equal objects must have equal hash codes.
143 * @param obj the reference object with which to compare.
144 * @return {@code true} if this object is the same as the obj
145 * argument; {@code false} otherwise.
147 * @see java.util.HashMap
149 public boolean equals(Object obj) {
150 return (this == obj);
154 * Creates and returns a copy of this object. The precise meaning
155 * of "copy" may depend on the class of the object. The general
156 * intent is that, for any object {@code x}, the expression:
159 * x.clone() != x</pre></blockquote>
160 * will be true, and that the expression:
163 * x.clone().getClass() == x.getClass()</pre></blockquote>
164 * will be {@code true}, but these are not absolute requirements.
165 * While it is typically the case that:
168 * x.clone().equals(x)</pre></blockquote>
169 * will be {@code true}, this is not an absolute requirement.
171 * By convention, the returned object should be obtained by calling
172 * {@code super.clone}. If a class and all of its superclasses (except
173 * {@code Object}) obey this convention, it will be the case that
174 * {@code x.clone().getClass() == x.getClass()}.
176 * By convention, the object returned by this method should be independent
177 * of this object (which is being cloned). To achieve this independence,
178 * it may be necessary to modify one or more fields of the object returned
179 * by {@code super.clone} before returning it. Typically, this means
180 * copying any mutable objects that comprise the internal "deep structure"
181 * of the object being cloned and replacing the references to these
182 * objects with references to the copies. If a class contains only
183 * primitive fields or references to immutable objects, then it is usually
184 * the case that no fields in the object returned by {@code super.clone}
185 * need to be modified.
187 * The method {@code clone} for class {@code Object} performs a
188 * specific cloning operation. First, if the class of this object does
189 * not implement the interface {@code Cloneable}, then a
190 * {@code CloneNotSupportedException} is thrown. Note that all arrays
191 * are considered to implement the interface {@code Cloneable} and that
192 * the return type of the {@code clone} method of an array type {@code T[]}
193 * is {@code T[]} where T is any reference or primitive type.
194 * Otherwise, this method creates a new instance of the class of this
195 * object and initializes all its fields with exactly the contents of
196 * the corresponding fields of this object, as if by assignment; the
197 * contents of the fields are not themselves cloned. Thus, this method
198 * performs a "shallow copy" of this object, not a "deep copy" operation.
200 * The class {@code Object} does not itself implement the interface
201 * {@code Cloneable}, so calling the {@code clone} method on an object
202 * whose class is {@code Object} will result in throwing an
203 * exception at run time.
205 * @return a clone of this instance.
206 * @exception CloneNotSupportedException if the object's class does not
207 * support the {@code Cloneable} interface. Subclasses
208 * that override the {@code clone} method can also
209 * throw this exception to indicate that an instance cannot
211 * @see java.lang.Cloneable
213 protected native Object clone() throws CloneNotSupportedException;
216 * Returns a string representation of the object. In general, the
217 * {@code toString} method returns a string that
218 * "textually represents" this object. The result should
219 * be a concise but informative representation that is easy for a
221 * It is recommended that all subclasses override this method.
223 * The {@code toString} method for class {@code Object}
224 * returns a string consisting of the name of the class of which the
225 * object is an instance, the at-sign character `{@code @}', and
226 * the unsigned hexadecimal representation of the hash code of the
227 * object. In other words, this method returns a string equal to the
231 * getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())
232 * </pre></blockquote>

236 public String toString() {
237 return getClass().getName() + "@" + Integer.toHexString(hashCode());
241 * Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's
242 * monitor. If any threads are waiting on this object, one of them
243 * is chosen to be awakened. The choice is arbitrary and occurs at
244 * the discretion of the implementation. A thread waits on an object's
245 * monitor by calling one of the {@code wait} methods.
247 * The awakened thread will not be able to proceed until the current
248 * thread relinquishes the lock on this object. The awakened thread will
249 * compete in the usual manner with any other threads that might be
250 * actively competing to synchronize on this object; for example, the
251 * awakened thread enjoys no reliable privilege or disadvantage in being
252 * the next thread to lock this object.
254 * This method should only be called by a thread that is the owner
255 * of this object's monitor. A thread becomes the owner of the
256 * object's monitor in one of three ways:
258 * <li>By executing a synchronized instance method of that object.
259 * <li>By executing the body of a {@code synchronized} statement
260 * that synchronizes on the object.
261 * <li>For objects of type {@code Class,} by executing a
262 * synchronized static method of that class.
265 * Only one thread at a time can own an object's monitor.
267 * @exception IllegalMonitorStateException if the current thread is not
268 * the owner of this object's monitor.

272 public final native void notify();
275 * Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor. A
276 * thread waits on an object's monitor by calling one of the
277 * {@code wait} methods.
279 * The awakened threads will not be able to proceed until the current
280 * thread relinquishes the lock on this object. The awakened threads

299 * Causes the current thread to wait until either another thread invokes the
300 * {@link java.lang.Object#notify()} method or the
301 * {@link java.lang.Object#notifyAll()} method for this object, or a
302 * specified amount of time has elapsed.
304 * The current thread must own this object's monitor.
306 * This method causes the current thread (call it <var>T</var>) to
307 * place itself in the wait set for this object and then to relinquish
308 * any and all synchronization claims on this object. Thread <var>T</var>
309 * becomes disabled for thread scheduling purposes and lies dormant
310 * until one of four things happens:
312 * <li>Some other thread invokes the {@code notify} method for this
313 * object and thread <var>T</var> happens to be arbitrarily chosen as
314 * the thread to be awakened.
315 * <li>Some other thread invokes the {@code notifyAll} method for this
317 * <li>Some other thread {@linkplain Thread#interrupt() interrupts}
318 * thread <var>T</var>.
319 * <li>The specified amount of real time has elapsed, more or less. If
320 * {@code timeout} is zero, however, then real time is not taken into
321 * consideration and the thread simply waits until notified.
323 * The thread <var>T</var> is then removed from the wait set for this
324 * object and re-enabled for thread scheduling. It then competes in the
325 * usual manner with other threads for the right to synchronize on the
326 * object; once it has gained control of the object, all its
327 * synchronization claims on the object are restored to the status quo
328 * ante - that is, to the situation as of the time that the {@code wait}
329 * method was invoked. Thread <var>T</var> then returns from the
330 * invocation of the {@code wait} method. Thus, on return from the
331 * {@code wait} method, the synchronization state of the object and of
332 * thread {@code T} is exactly as it was when the {@code wait} method
335 * A thread can also wake up without being notified, interrupted, or
336 * timing out, a so-called <i>spurious wakeup</i>. While this will rarely
337 * occur in practice, applications must guard against it by testing for
338 * the condition that should have caused the thread to be awakened, and
339 * continuing to wait if the condition is not satisfied. In other words,
340 * waits should always occur in loops, like this one:
342 * synchronized (obj) {
343 * while (<condition does not hold>)
345 * ... // Perform action appropriate to condition
348 * (For more information on this topic, see Section 3.2.3 in Doug Lea's
349 * "Concurrent Programming in Java (Second Edition)" (Addison-Wesley,
350 * 2000), or Item 50 in Joshua Bloch's "Effective Java Programming
351 * Language Guide" (Addison-Wesley, 2001).
