Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for generating a hash code to identify an object allocated to a heap area, wherein said heap area has a first heap area for holding a relatively new object and a second heap area for holding a relatively old object, said method comprising the steps of: generating a seed value for each said heap area; generating said hash code on the basis of the address of said object and said seed value of said heap area to which said object is allocated; determining whether or not said hash code can be added to said object in response to said object having been moved from said first heap area to said second heap area; adding said hash code to said object if it has been determined that said hash code can be added to said object; and associating said hash code with said object and placing said hash code outside of said heap if it has been determined that said hash code cannot be added to said object.
