public interface Verifiable
Interface for object self-integrity check.
A class implementing this interface gives the programmer (or,
mainly, the debugger) the opportunity to check the consistency of
internal structures of the object of such class. If there is
nothing to check in some class then the class should not
implement this interface.

integrityCheck
void integrityCheck()
- Verifies
this
object for its integrity.
This method is mostly used for debug purpose only. By default,
deep integrity (internal consistency) check is performed (that
is, all variable fields of this
object are verified
too). Internal state of object is not altered. If internal
consistency is violated somehow (due to an error in Java VM or
due to a programmer error) then InternalError
is
thrown (with some detailed message). Important notes:
static final
fields should not be checked. This
method should be synchronized outside (unless the object is not
mutable).
- Throws:
java.lang.InternalError
- if integrity violation is detected.
