How to work with handles for big native objects?

[domcir]

Hi
Is there a way to add PhantomReference to Handle to a big native objects?
For example handle is an int that points to a big native object not handled by JVM GC so it's categorised as very small.

As far as I know, there's nothing like we can do with C#, no.

[domcir]

Could I just set the limit parameter of the Pointer when creating a Handle?

[domcir]

@saudet would that work?

[saudet]

No, it's not something the JVM supports.

[domcir]

I probably don't understend the internal implmentation of the Pointer object. Is there any documentation?

Could you add meanings to member attributes:

• address
• position
• limit
• capacity
• deallocator

The problem isn't related to JavaCPP, but its documentation is available here:
