简单来说有以下几个:
(1)虚拟机(JVM)栈中引用对象
(2)方法区中的类静态属性引用对象
(3)方法区中常量引用的对象(final 的常量值)
(4)本地方法栈JNI的引用对象
是每个线程栈当前栈帧中局部变量表中的对象引用,还是包括所有栈帧呢?
我觉得是所有帧栈的。 如果只是当前帧栈,那么一个方法调用完之后,当前方法出栈,回到上一层方法调用,就会发现有的东西找不到了。
官方文档:Garbage Collection Roots
A garbage collection root is an object that is accessible from outside the heap. The following reasons make an object a GC root:
System Class
Class loaded by bootstrap/system class loader. For example, everything from the rt.jar like java.util. .*
JNI Local
Local variable in native code, such as user defined JNI code or JVM internal code.
JNI Global
Global variable in native code, such as user defined JNI code or JVM internal code.
Thread Block
Object referred to from a currently active thread block.
Thread
A started, but not stopped, thread.
Busy Monitor
Everything that has called wait() or notify() or that is synchronized. For example, by calling synchronized(Object) or by entering a synchronized method. Static method means class, non-static method means object.
Java Local
Local variable. For example, input parameters or locally created objects of methods that are still in the stack of a thread.
Native Stack
In or out parameters in native code, such as user defined JNI code or JVM internal code. This is often the case as many methods have native parts and the objects handled as method parameters become GC roots. For example, parameters used for file/network I/O methods or reflection.
Finalizable
An object which is in a queue awaiting its finalizer to be run.
Unfinalized
An object which has a finalize method, but has not been finalized and is not yet on the finalizer queue.
Unreachable
An object which is unreachable from any other root, but has been marked as a root by MAT to retain objects which otherwise would not be included in the analysis.
Java Stack Frame
A Java stack frame, holding local variables. Only generated when the dump is parsed with the preference set to treat Java stack frames as objects.
Unknown
An object of unknown root type. Some dumps, such as IBM Portable Heap Dump files, do not have root information. For these dumps the MAT parser marks objects which are have no inbound references or are unreachable from any other root as roots of this type. This ensures that MAT retains all the objects in the dump
