方法区和运行时常量池溢出

1、运行时常量池是方法区的一部分，方法区用于存放class的相关信息，如类名、访问修饰符、常量池、字段描述、方法描述等。对于这个区域的测试，基本思路是运行时产生大量的类去填满方法区，知道溢出。虽然直接使用Java SE API也可以动态产生类（如反射时的GeneratedConstructorAccessor和动态代理等），但在本次试验使用CGLIB直接操作字节码运行时，生成大量的动态类。值得注意的是，当前主流的很多框架如：Spring,Hibernate对类进行增强时，都会使用到类似CGLIB这类字节码技术，增强的类越多，就需要越大的方法区来保证动态生成的Class可以加载如内存。
测试代码：

public class JavaMethodAreaOOM {

    public static void main(String[] args){
        while (true){
            Enhancer enhancer = new Enhancer();
            enhancer.setSuperclass(OOMObject.class);
            enhancer.setUseCache(false);
            enhancer.setCallback(new MethodInterceptor() {
                @Override
                public Object intercept(Object o, Method method, Object[] objects, MethodProxy methodProxy) throws Throwable {
                    return methodProxy.invokeSuper(o,objects);
                }
            });
            enhancer.create();
        }
    }

    static class OOMObject{

    }
}

修改虚拟机参数：
-XX:PermSize分配非堆最小内存，默认为物理内存的1/64；
-XX:MaxPermSize分配最大内存，默认为物理内存的1/4。
笔者尝试在java 1.8下运行发现，一直没有报错信息出现，直到电脑内存占完。
查询后得知：

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: ignoring option PermSize=10m; support was removed in 8.0
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: ignoring option MaxPermSize=10m; support was removed in 8.0

在java 1.8中取消了这两个参数。
然后笔者尝试在java 1.7下运行，测试结果如下：

Exception in thread "main" 
Exception: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError thrown from the UncaughtExceptionHandler in thread "main"

报出内存溢出的错误，但是没有PermGen Space的说明，添加参数
-XX:+TraceClassLoading -XX:+TraceClassUnloading
可以查看增加的class文件来源：

可以看到，程序不断地加载一个类，同时会增加该类的各种信息，直至填充方法区，抛出错误。
方法区溢出也是一种常见的内存溢出异常，一个类要被垃圾收集器回收掉，判定条件是比较苛刻的。在经常动态生成大量Class的应用中，需要特别注意类的回收状况。这类场景除了上面提到的程序使用了CGLib字节码增强和动态语言之外，常见的还有：大量JSP或动态产生JSP文件的应用（JSP第一次运行时需要编译为Java类）、基于OSGi的应用（即使是同一个类文件，被不同的加载器加载也会视为不同的类）等。
