The difference between [C] and String in jmap output

clipboard.png
as shown in the figure, in the heap typed by jmap, [C and String appear at the same time.
it"s a little strange that String itself is saved in final char [], and it is listed here at the same time, which means that [the number of instances and memory footprint of C includes String, or is String counted separately?

The actual memory occupied by

String should be String + [C ] in the figure above.

to verify this, I wrote Mini Program 

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;

public class MemoryMap {
    static long bytes = 0;

    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { // Line 1
        Set<String> opt = new HashSet<String>();
        opt.addAll(Arrays.asList(args));
        List<String> list= new ArrayList< String>();
        if (opt.contains("alloc")) {
            for (int i = 0; i < 100; iPP) {
                String s = foo(1024 * 1024, i); //100Mb
                bytes += s.getBytes().length;
                list.add(s);
            }
        }
        System.out.println("Bytes=" + bytes + ", press Enter to exit...");

        InputStreamReader in = new InputStreamReader(System.in);
        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(in);
        if(opt.contains("gc")){
            System.gc();
        }
        String a = br.readLine();
        System.out.println(a);
        System.out.println(list.size());
    }

    private static String foo(long count, int k) { // Line 6
        StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
        for (int i = 0; i < count; iPP) {
            sb.append(i % 10);
        }
        sb.append(k);
        return sb.toString();
    } 

}

compile 

javac MemoryMap.java

run

separately 
java MemoryMap alloc gc 

java MemoryMap gc

and open another terminal window to view

respectively.

cases where there is no allocation

   3:           485          55304  java.lang.Class

   7:            79           5688  java.lang.reflect.Field

the difference in the number of string bytes between the two cases is 27528-24600mm 2928
the difference in the number of bytes in the character array is 209829280-110832209718448

actually 100m + numeric characters account for 200m + bytes in memory

Previous: When idea created the module of java, what was the difference between the two?

Next: Put in the icon, when you press the button, but press the button itself.
