| 'hsdis': A HotSpot plugin for disassembling dynamically generated code. |
| |
| The files in this directory (Makefile, hsdis.[ch], hsdis-demo.c) |
| are built independently of the HotSpot JVM. |
| |
| To use the plugin with a JVM, you need a new version that can load it. |
| If the product mode of your JVM does not accept -XX:+PrintAssembly, |
| you do not have a version that is new enough. |
| |
| * Building |
| |
| To build this project you a copy of GNU binutils to build against. It |
| is known to work with binutils 2.17 and binutils 2.19.1. Download a |
| copy of the software from http://directory.fsf.org/project/binutils or |
| one of it's mirrors. Builds targetting windows should use at least |
| 2.19 and currently requires the use of a cross compiler. |
| |
| The makefile looks for the sources in build/binutils or you can |
| specify it's location to the makefile using BINTUILS=path. It will |
| configure binutils and build it first and then build and link the |
| disasembly adapter. Make all will build the default target for your |
| platform. If you platform support both 32 and 64 simultaneously then |
| "make both" will build them both at once. "make all64" will |
| explicitly build the 64 bit version. By default this will build the |
| disassembler library only. If you build demo it will build a demo |
| program that attempts to exercise the library. |
| |
| Windows |
| |
| In theory this should be buildable on Windows but getting a working |
| GNU build environment on Windows has proven difficult. MINGW should |
| be able to do it but at the time of this writing I was unable to get |
| this working. Instead you can use the mingw cross compiler on linux |
| to produce the windows binaries. For 32-bit windows you can install |
| mingw32 using your package manager and it will be added to your path |
| automatically. For 64-bit you need to download the 64 bit mingw from |
| http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64. Grab a copy of the |
| complete toolchain and unpack it somewhere. Put the bin directory of |
| the toolchain in your path. The mingw installs contain cross compile |
| versions of gcc that are named with a prefix to indicate what they are |
| targetting and you must tell the Makefile which one to use. This |
| should either be i586-mingw32msvc or x86_64-pc-mingw32 depending on |
| which on you are targetting and there should be a version of gcc in |
| your path named i586-mingw32msvc-gcc or x86_64-pc-mingw32-gcc. Tell |
| the makefile what prefix to use to find the mingw tools by using |
| MINGW=. For example: |
| |
| make MINGW=i586-mingw32msvc BINTUILS=build/binutils-2.19.1 |
| |
| will build the Win32 cross compiled version of hsdis based on 2.19.1. |
| |
| * Installing |
| |
| Products are named like build/$OS-$LIBARCH/hsdis-$LIBARCH.so. You can |
| install them on your LD_LIBRARY_PATH, or inside of your JRE next to |
| $LIBARCH/libjvm.so. |
| |
| Now test: |
| |
| export LD_LIBRARY_PATH .../hsdis/build/$OS-$LIBARCH:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH |
| dargs='-XX:+UnlockDiagnosticVMOptions -XX:+PrintAssembly' |
| dargs=$dargs' -XX:PrintAssemblyOptions=hsdis-print-bytes' |
| java $dargs -Xbatch CompileCommand=print,*String.hashCode HelloWorld |
| |
| If the product mode of the JVM does not accept -XX:+PrintAssembly, |
| you do not have a version new enough to use the hsdis plugin. |
