Thread size?

[wazary]

Hi,
I made an object Task which is an extension of
a thread. Is there a way to know what
is the size of my thread object while it's running?
I looked for it into the apidocs, but I only
find methods to know the size for primitive types.
Thanks in advance.

Object sizes are JVM implementation dependent. Simply adding up the sizes of
all the fields (incl. inherited ones!) will give you a lower bound value.

Can you tell us why you are worried about the size of your Task objects?
Surely you are not going to spawn that many to have any significant impact
on your heap's free size?
