java使用new关键字_Java-使用new关键字创建String对象

语句String str = new String(“test”);创建一个字符串对象,它像任何其他对象一样存储在堆上.作为参数传递的字符串文字“test”存储在字符串常量池中.

String#intern()检查字符串池中是否已有字符串常量.如果有一个已经返回它,否则它会创建一个新的并将其存储在池中.见Javadocs：

Returns a canonical representation for the string object.

A pool of strings, initially empty, is maintained privately by the class String.

When the intern method is invoked, if the pool already contains a string equal to this String object as determined by the equals(Object) method, then the string from the pool is returned. Otherwise, this String object is added to the pool and a reference to this String object is returned.

It follows that for any two strings s and t, s.intern() == t.intern() is true if and only if s.equals(t) is true.

从JDK7开始,实习字符串存储在堆上.这是从release notes of JDK7：

In JDK 7, interned strings are no longer allocated in the permanent generation of the Java heap, but are instead allocated in the main part of the Java heap (known as the young and old generations), along with the other objects created by the application. This change will result in more data residing in the main Java heap, and less data in the permanent generation, and thus may require heap sizes to be adjusted. Most applications will see only relatively small differences in heap usage due to this change, but larger applications that load many classes or make heavy use of the String.intern() method will see more significant differences.
