Summary

Was going to make this Preferences Based but there are too amny damned quirks between different operating systems. Plus it forces base 64 endcoding which I don't want to have to do; I want it in binary.

Declaration & members

public class ObjectRegistry implements ExternalizerConstants

Declared in src/com/multiversesocial/hyperview/ObjectRegistry.java, lines 15–1346. 8 field(s), 1 constructor(s), 22 method(s). Every member has an anchor you can link to (e.g. ObjectRegistry.html#<id>).

Fields (8)

Declaration	Value / initializer	Description	Source
`public static HyperLinkedList listenerList`		No comment in source; assigned in `ObjectRegistry()`; name appears in 3 other source file(s): HyperProcess, InterProcessMemory, PortInfo.	line 21
`static final byte majorVersion`	`= 1` (constant)	No comment in source; used in `load()`, `save()`.	line 17
`static final int MAX_OBJECTS`	`= 255` (constant)	For sanity checking. Tweak to taste	line 19
`static final byte minorVersion`	`= 3` (constant)	3: OBJECT* nested schema (nestedFields) after lengths	line 18
`public static ObjectRegistry registryBase`		One Registry to rule them all.	line 24
`public static HyperLinkedList serializationList`		No comment in source; assigned in `ObjectRegistry()`.	line 20

`static void readNestedSchema(InputStream in, ClassFieldLink parent) throws IOException`	Returns payload bytes for one instance of the nested schema (parent's array lengths not applied here when called for nested children; caller uses ClassFieldLink.fieldByteSize for totals).	line 158
`static int readU8(InputStream in) throws IOException`	Fixed 2026-09-24: EOF / short-read checks for ObjectRegistry.dat.	line 51
`public static void remListener(Object tObject)`	4 statement(s); calls `tListenerList.dlDelete()`.	line 664

`static void writeFieldSchema(OutputStream out, ClassFieldLink f) throws IOException`	13 statement(s); calls `f.name.getBytes()`, `writeIntBE()`, `out.write()`, `writeNestedSchema()`.	line 102
`static void writeIntBE(OutputStream out, int v) throws IOException`	4 statement(s); calls `out.write()`.	line 76
`static void writeNestedSchema(OutputStream out, ClassFieldLink parent) throws IOException`	Wire format minor>=3: after OBJECT* type (and array lengths), write nested field count + each nested ClassFieldLink recursively (same name/type/length layout as a top-level field). Empty nested list writes count 0 so a bare OBJECT still occupies 4 bytes of schema on disk (not payload). Added 2026-09-25.	line 87
