JDK Memory Allocation

[mr rupplin]

Having looked for some while at the OpenJDK source code I am unable to find where the memory allocation occurs.  I will be working very much with the JDK and would like to get a firm grasp on its underlying mechanisms.

public class JustAsk
{
     public static void main(String...args)
     {
         for(int i=0; i<100; i++)
         {
            new JustAsk();
         }
     }
}

This doesn't seem to rely on any of the functions in the libjli nor of the jni.h.  So clearly where do we look for the handler here?

Thanks,
