public final class ImmortalMemory
extends MemoryArea

ImmortalMemory is a memory resource that is unexceptionally available to all schedulable objects and Java threads for use and allocation.

An immortal object may not contain references to any form of scoped memory, e.g., VTMemory, LTMemory, VTPhysicalMemory, or LTPhysicalMemory.

Objects in immortal have the same states with respect to finalization as objects in the standard Java heap, but there is no assurance that immortal objects will be finalized even when the JVM is terminated.

Methods from ImmortalMemory should be overridden only by methods that use super.
