Abstract
A method and system are disclosed for operating an object-oriented environment within a computer system. The execution of the object-oriented environment is initiated. A first memory location is allocated in a memory area within the object-oriented environment for storing an object. A second memory location is allocated in the memory area with the allocation of the first memory location for storing a persistence indicator. The persistence indicator indicates a point during the execution of the object-oriented environment at which the allocation of the first memory location occurred. A total number of bytes of the memory area which had been allocated during the execution of the object-oriented environment when the allocation of the first memory location occurred is stored as the persistence indicator.
