Summary

Add com.sun.management.ThreadMXBean::getCurrentThreadAllocatedBytes.

Problem

com.sun.management.ThreadMXBean includes getThreadAllocatedBytes in two versions, one which takes a thread_id and another which takes an array of thread_ids.

getThreadAllocatedBytes(long id);
getThreadAllocatedBytes(long[] ids);</code></pre>

<p>It also includes versions of getThreadCpuTime and getThreadUserTime that take an array of thread_ids.</p>

<pre class="prettyprint" ><code>getThreadCpuTime(long[] ids);
getThreadUserTime(long[] ids);

java.lang.thread.ThreadMXBean defines single thread_id and current thread versions of these.

getThreadCpuTime(long id);
getThreadUserTime(long id);
getCurrentThreadCpuTime();
getCurrentThreadUserTime();

Three versions of Cpu and User time are thus available from com.sun.management.ThreadMXBean: current thread, single thread_id, and an array of thread_ids. Only two versions of AllocatedBytes are currently available: single thread_id and an array of thread_ids.

The current thread versions of Cpu and User time are optimized to by avoiding checks needed by the versions that take thread_id(s). getCurrentThreadAllocatedBytes can also be so optimized, is useful for applications that monitor themselves, and rounds out the set of AllocatedBytes methods. As with the other AllocatedBytes methods, getCurrentThreadAllocatedBytes is a method on com.sun.management.ThreadMXBean rather than java.lang.thread.ThreadMXBean in order to avoid requiring all implementations to support it.

Note also that c.s.m.ThreadMXBean extends j.l.m.ThreadMXBean, which in turn extends PlatformManagedObject. The Java 12 javadoc for the latter says

"The platform MXBean interfaces (i.e. all subinterfaces of PlatformManagedObject) are implemented by the Java platform only. New methods may be added in these interfaces in future Java SE releases. In addition, this PlatformManagedObject interface is only intended for the management interfaces for the platform to extend but not for applications."

In theory, this means that only platform (JDK library) code can extend c.s.m.ThreadMXBean, but until sealed types are implemented, it is still possible for user code to do so. In fact, the nsk ThreadMXBean monitoring tests do, hence getCurrentThreadAllocatedBytes must have a default implementation. Per its definition, that implementation is to throw an UnsupportedOperationException.

Solution

Add com.sun.management.ThreadMXBean::getCurrentThreadAllocatedBytes.

Specification

/**
 * Returns an approximation of the total amount of memory, in bytes,
 * allocated in heap memory for the current thread.
 * The returned value is an approximation because some Java virtual machine
 * implementations may use object allocation mechanisms that result in a
 * delay between the time an object is allocated and the time its size is
 * recorded.
 *
 * <p>
 * This is a convenience method for local management use and is
 * equivalent to calling:
 * <blockquote><pre>
 *   {@link #getThreadAllocatedBytes getThreadAllocatedBytes}(Thread.currentThread().getId());
 * </pre></blockquote>
 *
 * @implSpec The default implementation throws
 * {@code UnsupportedOperationException}.
 *
 * @return an approximation of the total memory allocated, in bytes, in
 * heap memory for the current thread
 * if thread memory allocation measurement is enabled;
 * {@code -1} otherwise.
 *
 * @throws java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException if the Java virtual
 *         machine implementation does not support thread memory allocation
 *         measurement.
 *
 * @see #isThreadAllocatedMemorySupported
 * @see #isThreadAllocatedMemoryEnabled
 * @see #setThreadAllocatedMemoryEnabled
 * @since 14
