Any have code for this ?
Thanks in advance
Edgar
Only for new objects? If so, you could add an instance variable to Object and
store a timestamp.

Well, kind of ;) Because if you do that, your image will crash. This is
because the VM directly accesses (by offset) certain instVars of certa
ups :)

Hi Edgar--
Do you really want to know how old an object is, or just whether
it's older than some other object? If you don't care about degrading the
identity hash distribution, you could steal a few bits from the object
header for a counter.
