Class NativeProxy

Create a NativeProxy from a byte array representing a C pointer. This is the only way to create a NativeProxy, it should be called from the constructor of your subclass.

Parameters: pointer A byte array, created with JSS_ptrToByteArray, that contains a pointer pointing to a native data structure. The NativeProxy instance acts as a proxy for that native data structure.

Assert that the Registry is empty. Only works in debug mode; in ship mode, it is a no-op. If the Registry is not empty when this is called, an assertion (org.mozilla.jss.util.AssertionException) is thrown.

Deep comparison operator.

Returns: true if obj has the same underlying native pointer. false if the obj is null or has a different underlying native pointer.

Finalize this NativeProxy by releasing its native resources. The finalizer calls releaseNativeResources() so you don't have to. This finalizer should be called from the finalize() method of all subclasses: class MyProxy extends NativeProxy { [...] protected void finalize() throws Throwable { // do any object-specific finalization other than // releasing native resources [...] super.finalize(); } }

Returns: The index of this NativeProxy in the NativeProxy registry.

Returns: A list of the indices in the registry. Each element is a Long.

Release the native resources used by this proxy. Subclasses of NativeProxy must define this method to clean up data structures in C code that are referenced by this proxy. releaseNativeResources() will usually be implemented as a native method.

You don't call this method; NativeProxy.finalize() calls it for you.

You must declare a finalize() method which calls super.finalize().
