Class.forName("Java.util.Date")是什么加载到内存的？求解释

先到缓冲区中查找，如果已经加载了Date 对象的字节码，那么他就直接使用，
如果没有，那么他就加载Date字节码到内存.....
所以Class比较消耗内存

Class.forName("Java.util.Date")内部调用了ClassLoader的
方法。
"Java.util.Date"就是有效的二进制名称。

先到缓冲区中查找，如果缓冲区中已经存在该类的字节码，那么就可直接使用，
如果没有，那么通过如二楼说的那样。希望能帮助你，我们一起加油。

代码最能说明问题：
public class Testext {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        Class.forName("java.util.Date");
    }
}
在Eclipse的Run Configurations中设置VM arguments：-verbose:class
运行程序输出如下：（很长……有点耐心，关键在末尾的输出语句！）

看到了吗？其中有我们非常熟悉的类

这里涉及到了JAVA的ClassLoader的运行机制：
bootstrapclass loader：装载JDK最核心的类（如java.lang包中的类）以及其它的ClassLoader，其它的 ClassLoader再装载其它类
ExtClassLoader：装载目录jre\lib\ext目录下的类
AppClassLoader：装载我们自己写的类（这里是sttt.Testext ）

JDK在加载类时首先看这个类是否被上一层的ClassLoader加载过了，若已经加载，不会重新加载！

用Class.forName(java.util.Date);来返回字节码，返回有两种情况：

1、是字节码已经加载到了虚拟机中只要返回就行

2、是虚拟机中还没有字节码，用类加载器去加载，把加载进来的的字节码缓存到虚拟机中返回
