Annotation Type PinnedObjectField

@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Target(value=METHOD)
public @interface PinnedObjectField

Allows fields of Object types in structures. This is inherently dangerous, because such fields are not visited by the garbage collector. Therefore, only references to objects that are never moved and never freed by the garbage collector can be safely stored in such fields. That can be objects that are in the native image or objects that are pinned.

This annotation serves as a marker, by using it you acknowledge that you know what you are doing.
