Knowing the memory size of an object

Thread view: 
Philipp - 25 Jun 2007 17:04 GMT
Hello
In my application I use the standard swing "undo" system. Some
UndoableEdit take very little memory and some take a lot. Instead of
specifying a number of undo _levels_, I would prefer to specify a max
amount of memory dedicated to the undo system (for one given UndoManager).

How could I implement this? Can I construct my UndoableEdit and then
measure its size and add this memory value to the UndoManager which will
drop the oldest edit if the memory is above a threshold?

Thanks for any advices
Phil

In general you can't really measure object size in Java, although you
can estimate.

What you might be able to do is serialise the edits. However, I don't
know quite how badly serialisation is implemented in this area.
