meaning of java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: null












1















What does java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: null imply.



I.E why is the reason stated as null.
I saw this exception when I was trying to work with sun.misc.unsafe.
Now I know we shouldn't be using this library. But aside from that What I would like to know is how to understand when this exception is thrown. what are the reasons for which it could be thrown?
In my case, I believe it was probably triggered to allocate a large memory size.



What other scenarios would this come from??

    This is where you need to check the stack trace to see the likely cause. If there is no stack trace, you need to check if thus has happened many times and find the first time.
