Direct Known Subclasses:

public abstract class NativeProxy
extends java.lang.Object

NativeProxy, a superclass for Java classes that mirror C data structures. It contains some code to help make sure that native memory is getting freed properly.

Constructor Summary
`NativeProxy(byte[] pointer)` Create a NativeProxy from a byte array representing a C pointer.

Method Summary
`static void` | `assertRegistryEmpty()` Assert that the Registry is empty.
`boolean` | `equals(java.lang.Object obj)` Deep comparison operator.
`protected void` | `finalize()` Finalize this NativeProxy by releasing its native resources.
`long` | `getRegistryIndex()`
`static java.util.Enumeration` | `getRegistryIndices()`
`protected abstract void` | `releaseNativeResources()` Release the native resources used by this proxy.

Constructor Detail

### NativeProxy

    public NativeProxy(byte[] pointer)

  Create a NativeProxy from a byte array representing a C pointer. This is the only way to create a NativeProxy, it should be called from the constructor of your subclass.

Parameters:
  `pointer` - A byte array, created with JSS_ptrToByteArray, that contains a pointer pointing to a native data structure. The NativeProxy instance acts as a proxy for that native data structure.

Method Detail

### equals

    public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

  Deep comparison operator.

  Overrides:
    `equals` in class `java.lang.Object`
  Returns:
    true if `obj` has the same underlying native pointer. false if the `obj` is null or has a different underlying native pointer.

### releaseNativeResources

    protected abstract void releaseNativeResources()

  Release the native resources used by this proxy. Subclasses of NativeProxy must define this method to clean up data structures in C code that are referenced by this proxy. releaseNativeResources() will usually be implemented as a native method.

  You don't call this method; NativeProxy.finalize() calls it for you.

  You must declare a finalize() method which calls super.finalize().

### finalize

    protected void finalize()
                     throws java.lang.Throwable

  Finalize this NativeProxy by releasing its native resources. The finalizer calls releaseNativeResources() so you don't have to. This finalizer should be called from the finalize() method of all subclasses: class MyProxy extends NativeProxy { [...] protected void finalize() throws Throwable { // do any object-specific finalization other than // releasing native resources [...] super.finalize(); } }

  Overrides:
    `finalize` in class `java.lang.Object`
    `java.lang.Throwable`

### getRegistryIndices

    public static java.util.Enumeration getRegistryIndices()

  Returns:
    A list of the indices in the registry. Each element is a Long.
  See Also:
    `getRegistryIndex()`

### getRegistryIndex

    public long getRegistryIndex()

  Returns:
    The index of this NativeProxy in the NativeProxy registry.
  See Also:
    `getRegistryIndices()`

### assertRegistryEmpty

    public static void assertRegistryEmpty()

  Assert that the Registry is empty. Only works in debug mode; in ship mode, it is a no-op. If the Registry is not empty when this is called, an assertion (org.mozilla.jss.util.AssertionException) is thrown.
