#1 deepSizeOf primitives problem

[br111an]

Method deepSizeOf seems to have some strange results for primitives and the wrapper objects of those primitives.

double myDouble = 1;
System.out.printf("double\n");
System.out.printf("sizeOf %d\n", SizeOf.sizeOf(myDouble));
System.out.printf("deepSizeOf %d\n", SizeOf.deepSizeOf(myDouble));

float myFloat = 1;
System.out.printf("float\n");
System.out.printf("sizeOf %d\n", SizeOf.sizeOf(myFloat));
System.out.printf("deepSizeOf %d\n", SizeOf.deepSizeOf(myFloat));

Double myDoubleObject = 1d;
System.out.printf("Double\n");
System.out.printf("sizeOf %d\n", SizeOf.sizeOf(myDoubleObject));
System.out.printf("deepSizeOf %d\n", SizeOf.deepSizeOf(myDoubleObject));

Float myFloatObject = 1f;
System.out.printf("Float\n");
System.out.printf("sizeOf %d\n", SizeOf.sizeOf(myFloatObject));
System.out.printf("deepSizeOf %d\n", SizeOf.deepSizeOf(myFloatObject));

double
sizeOf 24
deepSizeOf 200
float
sizeOf 16
deepSizeOf 192
Double
sizeOf 24
deepSizeOf 200
Float
sizeOf 16
deepSizeOf 192

SizeOf.sizeOf (and the underlying java API) works on Object, when you pass a primitive type to sizeOf() java automagically wraps it into the corrisponding Object. This is the so called autoboxing (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/data/autoboxing.html)
