Getting Object IDs?

[Tim Ottinger]

I was wondering if there is a good way to get object IDs.
In most OO languages, there is a value which is an object
ID, which is absolutely specific to the identity of one
and exactly one object in memory. In C++ they use the
address of the first byte of the object in memory. In
others they have an OID which identifies the object.

In java, how do I get the OID. Don't worry, I need it
for debugging something, and have programmed far too
long to try to use it for anything in production.

int oid = System.identityHashCode(obj);
