介绍：

我使用JOL（Java Object Layout）工具来分析 Java 对象的内部和外部碎片以用于研究目的。

这样做时，我偶然发现了以下内容：

x@pc:~/Util$ java -jar jol-cli-0.9-full.jar internals sun.reflect.DelegatingClassLoader
# WARNING: Unable to attach Serviceability Agent. You can try again with escalated privileges. Two options: a) use -Djol.tryWithSudo=true to try with sudo; b) echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope

Instantiated the sample instance via sun.reflect.DelegatingClassLoader(java.lang.ClassLoader)

Instance size: 72 bytes
Space losses: 8 bytes internal + 7 bytes external = 15 bytes total

问题：

在这种情况下困扰我的是每个字段都是 4 字节对齐的（参见 OFFSET 列），但仍然在偏移量 56 处添加了对齐间隙（56 8 (alignment/padding gap)）。我在 Java 9 中进行了相同的测试，对象布局发生了一些变化，对齐/填充间隙仍然存在，但甚至有 12 个字节大。

为什么会这样？为什么它有 8 个字节大，我看到的所有其他对象都是 4 个字节的内部对齐？我自己找不到解释。

我的系统：

openjdk version "1.8.0_151"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_151-8u151-b12-0ubuntu0.16.04.2-b12)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.151-b12, mixed mode)

使用默认设置（带有压缩 oops 的 ParallelOldGC）

有时 HotSpot 会注入在 Java 级别上不可见的内部 VM 特定字段。如果ClassLoader这是指向的指针ClassLoaderData：

#define CLASSLOADER_INJECTED_FIELDS(macro)                            \
  macro(java_lang_ClassLoader, loader_data,  intptr_signature, false)

这是一个intptr_t类型字段，即正好8 个字节长。

以下是 HotSpot 源如何描述ClassLoaderData：

// A ClassLoaderData identifies the full set of class types that a class
// loader's name resolution strategy produces for a given configuration of the
// class loader.
// Class types in the ClassLoaderData may be defined by from class file binaries
// provided by the class loader, or from other class loader it interacts with
// according to its name resolution strategy.
//
// Class loaders that implement a deterministic name resolution strategy
// (including with respect to their delegation behavior), such as the boot, the
// extension, and the system loaders of the JDK's built-in class loader
// hierarchy, always produce the same linkset for a given configuration.
//
// ClassLoaderData carries information related to a linkset (e.g.,
// metaspace holding its klass definitions).
// The System Dictionary and related data structures (e.g., placeholder table,
// loader constraints table) as well as the runtime representation of classes
// only reference ClassLoaderData.
//
// Instances of java.lang.ClassLoader holds a pointer to a ClassLoaderData that
// that represent the loader's "linking domain" in the JVM.
//
// The bootstrap loader (represented by NULL) also has a ClassLoaderData,
// the singleton class the_null_class_loader_data().

你给了我一个绝佳的机会来发表一些我也看到有趣的东西（这应该是评论，但它太长了）：

  System.out.println(ClassLayout.parseInstance(Class.class).toPrintable());

运行它会给你：

 OFFSET  SIZE            TYPE DESCRIPTION                    VALUE
  0     4                 (object header)                01 27 2b fd (00000001 00100111 00101011 11111101) (-47503615)
  4     4                 (object header)                5f 00 00 00 (01011111 00000000 00000000 00000000) (95)
  8     4                 (object header)                df 03 00 f8 (11011111 00000011 00000000 11111000) (-134216737)
 12     4     Constructor Class.cachedConstructor        null
 16     4           Class Class.newInstanceCallerCache   null
 20     4          String Class.name                     (object)
 24     4                 (alignment/padding gap)        N/A
 28     4   SoftReference Class.reflectionData           (object)
 32     4 ClassRepository Class.genericInfo              null
 36     4        Object[] Class.enumConstants            null
 40     4             Map Class.enumConstantDirectory    null
 44     4  AnnotationData Class.annotationData           (object)
 48     4  AnnotationType Class.annotationType           null
 52     4   ClassValueMap Class.classValueMap            null
 56    32                 (alignment/padding gap)        N/A
 88     4             int Class.classRedefinedCount      0
 92   556                 (loss due to the next object alignment)

实例大小：648 字节空间损失：内部 36 字节 + 外部 556 字节 = 总共 592 字节

或者总共损失了556 个字节的空间；我觉得这非常令人印象深刻。
