365
366 <intro id="whatIs" label="What is the JVM Tool Interface?">
367 The <tm>JVM</tm> Tool Interface (<jvmti/>)
368 is a programming interface used by development and monitoring tools.
369 It provides both a way to inspect the state and
370 to control the execution of applications running in the
371 <tm>Java</tm> virtual machine (VM).
372 <p/>
373 <jvmti/> is intended to provide a VM interface for the full breadth of tools
374 that need access to VM state, including but not limited to: profiling,
375 debugging, monitoring, thread analysis, and coverage analysis tools.
376 <p/>
377 <jvmti/> may not be available in all implementations of the <tm>Java</tm> virtual
378 machine.
379 <p/>
380 <jvmti/> is a two-way interface.
381 A client of <jvmti/>, hereafter called an <i>agent</i>,
382 can be notified of
383 interesting occurrences through <internallink id="EventSection">events</internallink>.
384 <jvmti/>
385 can query and control the application through many
386 <internallink id="FunctionSection">functions</internallink>,
387 either in response to events or
388 independent of them.
389 <p/>
390 Agents run in the same process with and communicate directly with
391 the virtual machine executing
392 the application being examined. This communication is
393 through a native interface (<jvmti/>). The native in-process interface allows
394 maximal control with minimal intrusion on the part of a tool.
395 Typically, agents are relatively compact. They can be controlled
396 by a separate process which implements the bulk of a tool's
397 function without interfering with the target application's normal execution.
398 </intro>
399
400 <intro id="architecture" label="Architecture">
401 Tools can be written directly to <jvmti/> or indirectly
402 through higher level interfaces.
403 The Java Platform Debugger Architecture includes <jvmti/>, but also
404 contains higher-level, out-of-process debugger interfaces. The higher-level
405 interfaces are more appropriate than <jvmti/> for many tools.
406 For more information on the Java Platform Debugger Architecture,
407 see the
408 <externallink id="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/jpda/architecture.html">Java

412 <intro id="writingAgents" label="Writing Agents">
413 Agents can be written in any native language that supports C
414 language calling conventions and C or C++
415 definitions.
416 <p/>
417 The function, event, data type, and constant definitions needed for
418 using <jvmti/> are defined in the include file <code>jvmti.h</code>.
419 To use these definitions add the <tm>J2SE</tm> include directory
420 to your include path and add
421 <example>
422 #include <jvmti.h>
423 </example>
424 to your source code.

427 <intro id="deployingAgents" label="Deploying Agents">
428 An agent is deployed in a platform specific manner but is typically the
429 platform equivalent of a dynamic library. On the <tm>Windows</tm> operating
430 system, for example, an agent library is a "Dynamic Linked Library" (DLL).
431 On the <tm>Solaris</tm> Operating Environment, an agent library is a shared
432 object (<code>.so</code> file).
433 <p/>
434
435 An agent may be started at VM startup by specifying the agent library
436 name using a <internallink id="starting">command line option</internallink>.
437 Some implementations may support a mechanism to <internallink id="onattach">
438 start agents</internallink> in the live <functionlink id="GetPhase">phase</functionlink>.
439 The details of how this is initiated are implementation specific.
440 </intro>
441
442 <intro id="entry point" label="Statically Linked Agents (since version 1.2.3)">
443
444 A native JVMTI Agent may be <i>statically linked</i> with the VM.
445 The manner in which the library and VM image are combined is
446 implementation-dependent.
447 An agent L whose image has been combined with the VM is defined as
448 <i>statically linked</i> if and only if the agent exports a function
449 called Agent_OnLoad_L.
450 <p/>
451 If a <i>statically linked</i> agent L exports a function called
452 Agent_OnLoad_L and a function called Agent_OnLoad, the Agent_OnLoad
453 function will be ignored.
454 If an agent L is <i>statically linked</i>, an Agent_OnLoad_L
455 function will be invoked with the same arguments and expected return
456 value as specified for the Agent_OnLoad function.
457 An agent L that is <i>statically linked</i> will prohibit an agent of
458 the same name from being loaded dynamically.
459 <p/>
460 The VM will invoke the Agent_OnUnload_L function of the agent, if such
461 a function is exported, at the same point during VM execution as it would
462 have called the dynamic entry point Agent_OnUnLoad. A statically loaded
463 agent cannot be unloaded. The Agent_OnUnload_L function will still be
464 called to do any other agent shutdown related tasks.
465 If a <i>statically linked</i> agent L exports a function called
466 Agent_OnUnLoad_L and a function called Agent_OnUnLoad, the Agent_OnUnLoad
467 function will be ignored.
468 <p/>
469 If an agent L is <i>statically linked</i>, an Agent_OnAttach_L function
470 will be invoked with the same arguments and expected return value as
471 specified for the Agent_OnAttach function.
472 If a <i>statically linked</i> agent L exports a function called
473 Agent_OnAttach_L and a function called Agent_OnAttach, the Agent_OnAttach
474 function will be ignored.
475 </intro>
476
477 <intro id="starting" label="Agent Command Line Options">
478 The term "command-line option" is used below to
479 mean options supplied in the <code>JavaVMInitArgs</code> argument
480 to the <code>JNI_CreateJavaVM</code> function of the JNI
481 Invocation API.
482 <p/>
483 One of the two following
484 command-line options is used on VM startup to
485 properly load and run agents.
486 These arguments identify the library containing
487 the agent as well as an options
488 string to be passed in at startup.
489 <dl>
490 <dt><code>-agentlib:</code><i><agent-lib-name></i><code>=</code><i><options></i></dt>
491 <dd>
492 The name following <code>-agentlib:</code> is the name of the
493 library to load. Lookup of the library, both its full name and location,
494 proceeds in a platform-specific manner.
495 Typically, the <i><agent-lib-name></i> is expanded to an
496 operating system specific file name.
497 The <i><options></i> will be passed to the agent on start-up.
498 For example, if the option
499 <code>-agentlib:foo=opt1,opt2</code> is specified, the VM will attempt to
500 load the shared library <code>foo.dll</code> from the system <code>PATH</code>
501 under <tm>Windows</tm> or <code>libfoo.so</code> from the
502 <code>LD_LIBRARY_PATH</code> under the <tm>Solaris</tm> operating
503 environment.
504 If the agent library is statically linked into the executable
505 then no actual loading takes place.
506 <p/>
507 </dd>
508 <dt><code>-agentpath:</code><i><path-to-agent></i><code>=</code><i><options></i></dt>
509 <dd>
510 The path following <code>-agentpath:</code> is the absolute path from which
511 to load the library.
512 No library name expansion will occur.
513 The <i><options></i> will be passed to the agent on start-up.
514 For example, if the option
515 <code>-agentpath:c:\myLibs\foo.dll=opt1,opt2</code> is specified, the VM will attempt to
516 load the shared library <code>c:\myLibs\foo.dll</code>. If the agent
517 library is statically linked into the executable
518 then no actual loading takes place.
519 <p/>
520 </dd>
521 </dl>
522 For a dynamic shared library agent, the start-up routine
523 <internallink id="onload"><code>Agent_OnLoad</code></internallink>
524 in the library will be invoked. If the agent library is statically linked
525 into the executable then the system will attempt to invoke the
526 <code>Agent_OnLoad_<agent-lib-name></code> entry point where
527 <agent-lib-name> is the basename of the
528 agent. In the above example <code>-agentpath:c:\myLibs\foo.dll=opt1,opt2</code>,
529 the system will attempt to find and call the <code>Agent_OnLoad_foo</code> start-up routine.
530 <p/>
531 Libraries loaded with <code>-agentlib:</code> or <code>-agentpath:</code>
532 will be searched for JNI native method implementations to facilitate the
533 use of Java programming language code in tools, as is needed for

550 The VM starts each agent by invoking a start-up function.

561 Exactly one call to a start-up function is made per agent.

563
564 <intro id="onload" label="Agent Start-Up (OnLoad phase)">
565 If an agent is started during the <code>OnLoad</code> phase then its
566 agent library must export a start-up function with the following prototype:
567 <example>
568 JNIEXPORT jint JNICALL
569 Agent_OnLoad(JavaVM *vm, char *options, void *reserved)</example>
570 Or for a statically linked agent named 'L':
571 <example>
572 JNIEXPORT jint JNICALL
573 Agent_OnLoad_L(JavaVM *vm, char *options, void *reserved)</example>
574
575 The VM will start the agent by calling this function.
576 It will be called early enough in VM initialization that:
577 <ul>
578 <li><functionlink id="SetSystemProperty">system properties</functionlink>
579 may be set before they have been used in the start-up of the VM</li>
580 <li>the full set of
581 <internallink id="capability">capabilities</internallink>
582 is still available (note that capabilities that configure the VM
583 may only be available at this time--see the
584 <internallink id="capability">Capability function section</internallink>)</li>
585 <li>no bytecodes have executed</li>
586 <li>no classes have been loaded</li>
587 <li>no objects have been created</li>
588 </ul>
589 <p/>
590 The VM will call the <code>Agent_OnLoad</code> or
591 <code>Agent_OnLoad_<agent-lib-name></code> function with
592 <i><options></i> as the second argument -
593 that is, using the command-line option examples,
594 <code>"opt1,opt2"</code> will be passed to the <code>char *options</code>
595 argument of <code>Agent_OnLoad</code>.
596 The <code>options</code> argument is encoded as a
597 <internallink id="mUTF">modified UTF-8</internallink> string.
598 If <i>=<options></i> is not specified,
599 a zero length string is passed to <code>options</code>.
600 The lifespan of the <code>options</code> string is the
601 <code>Agent_OnLoad</code> or <code>Agent_OnLoad_<agent-lib-name></code>
602 call. If needed beyond this time the string or parts of the string must
603 be copied.
604 The period between when <code>Agent_OnLoad</code> is called and when it
605 returns is called the <i>OnLoad phase</i>.
606 Since the VM is not initialized during the OnLoad
607 <functionlink id="GetPhase">phase</functionlink>,
608 the set of allowed operations
609 inside <code>Agent_OnLoad</code> is restricted (see the function descriptions for the
610 functionality available at this time).
611 The agent can safely process the options and set
612 event callbacks with <functionlink id="SetEventCallbacks"></functionlink>. Once
613 the VM initialization event is received
614 (that is, the <eventlink id="VMInit">VMInit</eventlink>
615 callback is invoked), the agent
616 can complete its initialization.
617 <rationale>
618 Early startup is required so that agents can set the desired capabilities,
619 many of which must be set before the VM is initialized.
620 In JVMDI, the -Xdebug command-line option provided
621 very coarse-grain control of capabilities.
622 JVMPI implementations use various tricks to provide a single "JVMPI on" switch.
623 No reasonable command-line
624 option could provide the fine-grain of control required to balance needed capabilities vs
625 performance impact.
626 Early startup is also needed so that agents can control the execution
627 environment - modifying the file system and system properties to install
628 their functionality.
629 </rationale>
630 <p/>
631 The return value from <code>Agent_OnLoad</code> or
632 <code>Agent_OnLoad_<agent-lib-name></code> is used to indicate an error.
633 Any value other than zero indicates an error and causes termination of the VM.
634 </intro>
635
636 <intro id="onattach" label="Agent Start-Up (Live phase)">
637 A VM may support a mechanism that allows agents to be started in the VM during the live
638 <functionlink id="GetPhase">phase</functionlink>. The details of how this is supported,
639 are implementation specific. For example, a tool may use some platform specific mechanism,
640 or implementation specific API, to attach to the running VM, and request it start a given
641 agent.
642 <p/>
643 If an agent is started during the live phase then its agent library
644 must export a start-up function
645 with the following prototype:
646 <example>
647 JNIEXPORT jint JNICALL
648 Agent_OnAttach(JavaVM* vm, char *options, void *reserved)</example>
649 Or for a statically linked agent named 'L':
650 <example>
651 JNIEXPORT jint JNICALL
652 Agent_OnAttach_L(JavaVM* vm, char *options, void *reserved)</example>
653
654 <p/>
655 The VM will start the agent by calling this function.
656 It will be called in the context of a thread
657 that is attached to the VM. The first argument <i><vm></i> is the Java VM.
658 The <i><options></i> argument is the startup options provided to the agent.
659 <i><options></i> is encoded as a <internallink id="mUTF">modified UTF-8
660 </internallink> string.
661 If startup options were not provided, a zero length string is passed to
662 <code>options</code>. The lifespan of the <code>options</code> string is the
663 <code>Agent_OnAttach</code> or <code>Agent_OnAttach_<agent-lib-name></code> call.
664 If needed beyond this time the string or parts of the string must be copied.
665 <p/>
666 Note that some <internallink id="capability">capabilities</internallink>
667 may not be available in the live phase.
668 <p/>
669 The <code>Agent_OnAttach</code> or <code>Agent_OnAttach_<agent-lib-name
670 ></code> function initializes the agent and returns a value
671 to the VM to indicate if an error occurred. Any value other than zero indicates an error.
672 An error does not cause the VM to terminate. Instead the VM ignores the error, or takes
673 some implementation specific action -- for example it might print an error to standard error,
674 or record the error in a system log.
675 </intro>
676
677 <intro id="onunload" label="Agent Shutdown">
678 The library may optionally export a
679 shutdown function with the following prototype:
680 <example>
681 JNIEXPORT void JNICALL
682 Agent_OnUnload(JavaVM *vm)</example>
683 Or for a statically linked agent named 'L':
684 <example>
685 JNIEXPORT void JNICALL
686 Agent_OnUnload_L(JavaVM *vm)</example>
687
688 This function will be called by the VM when the library is about to be unloaded.
689 The library will be unloaded (unless it is statically linked into the
690 executable) and this function will be called if some platform specific
691 mechanism causes the unload (an unload mechanism is not specified in this document)
692 or the library is (in effect) unloaded by the termination of the VM whether through
693 normal termination or VM failure, including start-up failure.
694 Uncontrolled shutdown is, of couse, an exception to this rule.
695 Note the distinction between this function and the
696 <eventlink id="VMDeath">VM Death event</eventlink>: for the VM Death event
697 to be sent, the VM must have run at least to the point of initialization and a valid
698 <jvmti/> environment must exist which has set a callback for VMDeath
699 and enabled the event.
700 None of these are required for <code>Agent_OnUnload</code> or
701 <code>Agent_OnUnload_<agent-lib-name></code> and this function
702 is also called if the library is unloaded for other reasons.
703 In the case that a VM Death event is sent, it will be sent before this
704 function is called (assuming this function is called due to VM termination).
705 This function can be used to clean-up resources allocated by the agent.

707
708 <intro id="tooloptions" label="JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS">
709 Since the command-line cannot always be accessed or modified, for example in embedded VMs
710 or simply VMs launched deep within scripts, a <code>JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS</code> variable is
711 provided so that agents may be launched in these cases.
712 <p/>
713 Platforms which support environment variables or other named strings, may support the
714 <code>JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS</code> variable. This variable will be broken into options at white-space
715 boundaries. White-space characters include space, tab, carriage-return, new-line,
716 vertical-tab, and form-feed. Sequences of white-space characters are considered
717 equivalent to a single white-space character. No white-space is included in the options
718 unless quoted. Quoting is as follows:
719 <ul>
720 <li>All characters enclosed between a pair of single quote marks (''), except a single
721 quote, are quoted.</li>
722 <li>Double quote characters have no special meaning inside a pair of single quote marks.</li>
723 <li>All characters enclosed between a pair of double quote marks (""), except a double
724 quote, are quoted.</li>
725 <li>Single quote characters have no special meaning inside a pair of double quote marks.</li>
726 <li>A quoted part can start or end anywhere in the variable.</li>
727 <li>White-space characters have no special meaning when quoted -- they are included in
728 the option like any other character and do not mark white-space boundaries.</li>
729 <li>The pair of quote marks is not included in the option.</li>
730 </ul>
731 <code>JNI_CreateJavaVM</code> (in the JNI Invocation API) will prepend these options to the options supplied
732 in its <code>JavaVMInitArgs</code> argument. Platforms may disable this feature in cases where security is
733 a concern; for example, the Reference Implementation disables this feature on Unix systems when
734 the effective user or group ID differs from the real ID.
735 This feature is intended to support the initialization of tools -- specifically including the
736 launching of native or Java programming language agents. Multiple tools may wish to use this
737 feature, so the variable should not be overwritten, instead, options should be appended to
738 the variable. Note that since the variable is processed at the time of the JNI Invocation
739 API create VM call, options processed by a launcher (e.g., VM selection options) will not be handled.

741
742 <intro id="environments" label="Environments">
743 The <jvmti/> specification supports the use of multiple simultaneous
744 <jvmti/> agents.
745 Each agent has its own <jvmti/> environment.
746 That is, the <jvmti/> state is
747 separate for each agent - changes to one environment do not affect the
748 others. The state of a <jvmti/>
749 environment includes:
750 <ul>
751 <li><functionlink id="SetEventCallbacks">the event callbacks</functionlink></li>
752 <li><functionlink id="SetEventNotificationMode">the set of events which are enabled</functionlink></li>
753 <li><internallink id="capability">the capabilities</internallink></li>
754 <li><internallink id="memory">the memory allocation/deallocation hooks</internallink></li>
755 </ul>
756 Although their <jvmti/> state
757 is separate, agents inspect and modify the shared state
758 of the VM, they also share the native environment in which they execute.
759 As such, an agent can perturb the results of other agents or cause them
760 to fail. It is the responsibility of the agent writer to specify the level
761 of compatibility with other agents. <jvmti/> implementations are not capable
762 of preventing destructive interactions between agents. Techniques to reduce
763 the likelihood of these occurrences are beyond the scope of this document.
764 <p/>
765 An agent creates a <jvmti/> environment
766 by passing a <jvmti/> version
767 as the interface ID to the JNI Invocation API function
768 <externallink id="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/jni/spec/invocation.html#GetEnv"><code>GetEnv</code></externallink>.
769 See <internallink id="jvmtiEnvAccess">Accessing <jvmti/> Functions</internallink>
770 for more details on the creation and use of
771 <jvmti/> environments.

775
776 <intro id="bci" label="Bytecode Instrumentation">
777 This interface does not include some events that one might expect in an interface with
778 profiling support. Some examples include object allocation events and full speed
779 method enter and exit events. The interface instead provides support for
780 <i>bytecode instrumentation</i>, the ability to alter the Java virtual machine
781 bytecode instructions which comprise the target program. Typically, these alterations
782 are to add "events" to the code of a method - for example, to add, at the beginning of a method,
783 a call to <code>MyProfiler.methodEntered()</code>.
784 Since the changes are purely additive, they do not modify application
785 state or behavior.
786 Because the inserted agent code is standard bytecodes, the VM can run at full speed,
787 optimizing not only the target program but also the instrumentation. If the
788 instrumentation does not involve switching from bytecode execution, no expensive
789 state transitions are needed. The result is high performance events.
790 This approach also provides complete control to the agent: instrumentation can be
791 restricted to "interesting" portions of the code (e.g., the end user's code) and
792 can be conditional. Instrumentation can run entirely in Java programming language
793 code or can call into the native agent. Instrumentation can simply maintain
794 counters or can statistically sample events.
795 <p/>
796 Instrumentation can be inserted in one of three ways:
797 <ul>
798 <li>
799 Static Instrumentation: The class file is instrumented before it
800 is loaded into the VM - for example, by creating a duplicate directory of
801 <code>*.class</code> files which have been modified to add the instrumentation.
802 This method is extremely awkward and, in general, an agent cannot know
803 the origin of the class files which will be loaded.
804 </li>
805 <li>
806 Load-Time Instrumentation: When a class file is loaded by the VM, the raw
807 bytes of the class file are sent for instrumentation to the agent.
808 The <eventlink id="ClassFileLoadHook"/>
809 event, triggered by the class load,
810 provides this functionality. This mechanism provides efficient
811 and complete access to one-time instrumentation.
812 </li>
813 <li>
814 Dynamic Instrumentation: A class which is already loaded (and possibly
815 even running) is modified. This optional feature is provided by the
816 <eventlink id="ClassFileLoadHook"/> event, triggered by calling the
817 <functionlink id="RetransformClasses"/> function.
818 Classes can be modified multiple times and can be returned to their
819 original state.
820 The mechanism allows instrumentation which changes during the
821 course of execution.
822 </li>
823 </ul>
824 <p/>
825 The class modification functionality provided in this interface
826 is intended to provide a mechanism for instrumentation
827 (the <eventlink id="ClassFileLoadHook"/> event
828 and the <functionlink id="RetransformClasses"/> function)
829 and, during development, for fix-and-continue debugging
830 (the <functionlink id="RedefineClasses"/> function).
831 <p/>
832 Care must be taken to avoid perturbing dependencies, especially when
833 instrumenting core classes. For example, an approach to getting notification
834 of every object allocation is to instrument the constructor on
835 <code>Object</code>. Assuming that the constructor is initially
836 empty, the constructor could be changed to:
837 <example>
838 public Object() {
839 MyProfiler.allocationTracker(this);
840 }
841 </example>
842 However, if this change was made using the
843 <eventlink id="ClassFileLoadHook"/>
844 event then this might impact a typical VM as follows:
845 the first created object will call the constructor causing a class load of
846 <code>MyProfiler</code>; which will then cause
847 object creation, and since <code>MyProfiler</code> isn't loaded yet,
848 infinite recursion; resulting in a stack overflow. A refinement of this
849 would be to delay invoking the tracking method until a safe time. For
850 example, <code>trackAllocations</code> could be set in the
851 handler for the <code>VMInit</code> event.
852 <example>
853 static boolean trackAllocations = false;
854
855 public Object() {
856 if (trackAllocations) {
857 MyProfiler.allocationTracker(this);
858 }
859 }
860 </example>
861 <p/>
862 The <functionlink id="SetNativeMethodPrefix"/> allows native methods
863 to be instrumented by the use of wrapper methods.

897 <intro id="jvmtiEnvAccess" label="Accessing Functions">
898 Native code accesses <jvmti/> features
899 by calling <jvmti/> functions.
900 Access to <jvmti/> functions is by use of an interface pointer
901 in the same manner as
902 <externallink id="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/jni/spec/design.html">Java
903 Native Interface (JNI) functions</externallink> are accessed.
904 The <jvmti/> interface pointer is called the
905 <i>environment pointer</i>.
906 <p/>
907 An environment pointer is a pointer to an environment and has
908 the type <code>jvmtiEnv*</code>.
909 An environment has information about its <jvmti/> connection.
910 The first value in the environment is a pointer to the function table.
911 The function table is an array of pointers to <jvmti/> functions.
912 Every function pointer is at a predefined offset inside the
913 array.
914 <p/>
915 When used from the C language:
916 double indirection is used to access the functions;
917 the environment pointer provides context and is the first
918 parameter of each function call; for example:
919 <example>
920 jvmtiEnv *jvmti;
921 ...
922 jvmtiError err = (*jvmti)->GetLoadedClasses(jvmti, &class_count, &classes);
923 </example>
924 <p/>
925 When used from the C++ language:
926 functions are accessed as member functions of <code>jvmtiEnv</code>;
927 the environment pointer is not passed to the function call; for example:
928 <example>
929 jvmtiEnv *jvmti;
930 ...
931 jvmtiError err = jvmti->GetLoadedClasses(&class_count, &classes);
932 </example>
933 Unless otherwise stated, all examples and declarations in this
934 specification use the C language.
935 <p/>
936 A <jvmti/> environment can be obtained through the JNI Invocation API
937 <code>GetEnv</code> function:
938 <example>
939 jvmtiEnv *jvmti;
940 ...
941 (*jvm)->GetEnv(jvm, &jvmti, JVMTI_VERSION_1_0);
942 </example>
943 Each call to <code>GetEnv</code>
944 creates a new <jvmti/> connection and thus
945 a new <jvmti/> environment.
946 The <code>version</code> argument of <code>GetEnv</code> must be
947 a <jvmti/> version.
948 The returned environment may have a different version than the
949 requested version but the returned environment must be compatible.
950 <code>GetEnv</code> will return <code>JNI_EVERSION</code> if a
951 compatible version is not available, if <jvmti/> is not supported or
952 <jvmti/> is not supported in the current VM configuration.
953 Other interfaces may be added for creating <jvmti/> environments
954 in specific contexts.
955 Each environment has its own state (for example,
956 <functionlink id="SetEventNotificationMode">desired events</functionlink>,
957 <functionlink id="SetEventCallbacks">event handling functions</functionlink>, and
958 <functionlink id="AddCapabilities">capabilities</functionlink>).
959 An environment is released with
960 <functionlink id="DisposeEnvironment"></functionlink>.
961 Thus, unlike JNI which has one environment per thread, <jvmti/> environments work
962 across threads and are created dynamically.

964
965 <intro id="functionReturn" label="Function Return Values">
966 <jvmti/> functions always return an
967 <internallink id="ErrorSection">error code</internallink> via the
968 <datalink id="jvmtiError"/> function return value.
969 Some functions can return additional
970 values through pointers provided by the calling function.
971 In some cases, <jvmti/> functions allocate memory that your program must
972 explicitly deallocate. This is indicated in the individual <jvmti/>
973 function descriptions. Empty lists, arrays, sequences, etc are
974 returned as <code>NULL</code>.
975 <p/>
976 In the event that the <jvmti/> function encounters
977 an error (any return value other than <code>JVMTI_ERROR_NONE</code>) the values
978 of memory referenced by argument pointers is undefined, but no memory
979 will have been allocated and no global references will have been allocated.
980 If the error occurs because of invalid input, no action will have occurred.
981 </intro>
982
983 <intro id="refs" label="Managing JNI Object References">
984 <jvmti/> functions identify objects with JNI references
985 (<datalink id="jobject"/> and <datalink id="jclass"/>)
986 and their derivatives
987 (<datalink id="jthread"/> and <datalink id="jthreadGroup"/>).
988 References passed to
989 <jvmti/> functions can be either global or local, but they must be
990 strong references. All references returned by <jvmti/> functions are
991 local references--these local references are created
992 during the <jvmti/> call.
993 Local references are a resource that must be managed (see the
994 <externallink id="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/jni/spec/functions.html#wp18654">JNI Documentation</externallink>).
995 When threads return from native code all local references
996 are freed. Note that some threads, including typical
997 agent threads, will never return from native code.
998 A thread is ensured the ability to create sixteen local
999 references without the need for any explicit management.
1000 For threads executing a limited number of <jvmti/> calls before
1001 returning from native code
1002 (for example, threads processing events),
1003 it may be determined that no explicit management
1004 is needed.
1005 However, long running agent threads will need explicit
1006 local reference management--usually with the JNI functions
1007 <code>PushLocalFrame</code> and <code>PopLocalFrame</code>.
1008 Conversely, to preserve references beyond the
1009 return from native code, they must be converted to global references.
1010 These rules do not apply to <datalink id="jmethodID"/> and <datalink id="jfieldID"/>
1011 as they are not <datalink id="jobject"/>s.

1014 <intro id="prereqState" label="Prerequisite State for Calling Functions">
1015 Unless the function explicitly states that the agent must bring
1016 a thread or the VM to a particular state (for example, suspended),

1018 safe and consistent state for performing the function.

1297 <b>Rules</b>
1298 <p/>
1299 There can be no more than one answer to a question, although there can be no
1300 answer (because the answer is unknown, does not apply, or none of the answers is
1301 correct). An answer is set only when the enclosing answers match.
1302 That is, no more than one of
1303 <ul type="circle">
1304 <li><code>JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_RUNNABLE</code></li>
1305 <li><code>JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_BLOCKED_ON_MONITOR_ENTER</code></li>
1306 <li><code>JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_WAITING</code></li>
1307 </ul>
1308 can be set (a <tm>J2SE</tm> compliant implementation will always set
1309 one of these if <code>JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_ALIVE</code> is set).
1310 And if any of these are set, the enclosing answer
1311 <code>JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_ALIVE</code> is set.
1312 No more than one of
1313 <ul type="circle">
1314 <li><code>JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_WAITING_INDEFINITELY</code></li>
1315 <li><code>JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_WAITING_WITH_TIMEOUT</code></li>
1316 </ul>
1317 can be set (a <tm>J2SE</tm> compliant implementation will always set
1318 one of these if <code>JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_WAITING</code> is set).
1319 And if either is set, the enclosing answers
1320 <code>JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_ALIVE</code> and
1321 <code>JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_WAITING</code> are set.
1322 No more than one of
1323 <ul type="circle">
1324 <li><code>JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_IN_OBJECT_WAIT</code></li>
1325 <li><code>JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_PARKED</code></li>
1326 <li><code>JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_SLEEPING</code></li>
1327 </ul>
1328 can be set. And if any of these is set, the enclosing answers
1329 <code>JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_ALIVE</code> and
1330 <code>JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_WAITING</code> are set.
1331 Also, if <code>JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_SLEEPING</code> is set,
1332 then <code>JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_WAITING_WITH_TIMEOUT</code> is set.
1333 If a state <i>A</i> is implemented using the mechanism of
1334 state <i>B</i> then it is state <i>A</i> which
1335 is returned by this function.
1336 For example, if <code>Thread.sleep(long)</code>
1337 is implemented using <code>Object.wait(long)</code>
1338 then it is still <code>JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_SLEEPING</code>
1339 which is returned.
1340 More than one of
1341 <ul type="circle">
1342 <li><code>JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_SUSPENDED</code></li>
1343 <li><code>JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_INTERRUPTED</code></li>
1344 <li><code>JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_IN_NATIVE</code></li>
1345 </ul>
1346 can be set, but if any is set,
1347 <code>JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_ALIVE</code> is set.
1348 <p/>
1349 And finally,
1350 <code>JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_TERMINATED</code> cannot be set unless
1351 <code>JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_ALIVE</code> is not set.
1352 <p/>
1353 The thread state representation is designed for extension in future versions
1354 of the specification; thread state values should be used accordingly, that is
1355 they should not be used as ordinals.
1356 Most queries can be made by testing a single bit, if use in a switch statement is desired,
1357 the state bits should be masked with the interesting bits.
1358 All bits not defined above are reserved for future use.
1359 A VM, compliant to the current specification, must set reserved bits to zero.
1360 An agent should ignore reserved bits --
1361 they should not be assumed to be zero and thus should not be included in comparisons.
1362 <p/>
1363 <b>Examples</b>
1364 <p/>
1365 Note that the values below exclude reserved and vendor bits.
1366 <p/>
1367 The state of a thread blocked at a <code>synchronized</code>-statement would be:
1368 <example>
1369 JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_ALIVE + JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_BLOCKED_ON_MONITOR_ENTER
1370 </example>
1371 The state of a thread which hasn't started yet would be:
1372 <example>
1373 0
1374 </example>
1375 The state of a thread at a <code>Object.wait(3000)</code> would be:
1376 <example>
1377 JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_ALIVE + JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_WAITING +
1378 JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_WAITING_WITH_TIMEOUT +
1379 JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_MONITOR_WAITING
1380 </example>
1381 The state of a thread suspended while runnable would be:
1382 <example>
1383 JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_ALIVE + JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_RUNNABLE + JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_SUSPENDED
1384 </example>
1385 <p/>
1386 <b>Testing the State</b>
1387 <p/>
1388 In most cases, the thread state can be determined by testing the one bit corresponding
1389 to that question. For example, the code to test if a thread is sleeping:
1390 <example>
1391 jint state;
1392 jvmtiError err;
1393
1394 err = (*jvmti)->GetThreadState(jvmti, thread, &state);
1395 if (err == JVMTI_ERROR_NONE) {
1396 if (state & JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_SLEEPING) { ...
1397 </example>
1398 <p/>
1399 For waiting (that is, in <code>Object.wait</code>, parked, or sleeping) it would be:
1400 <example>
1401 if (state & JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_WAITING) { ...
1402 </example>
1403 For some states, more than one bit will need to be tested as is the case
1404 when testing if a thread has not yet been started:
1405 <example>
1406 if ((state & (JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_ALIVE | JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_TERMINATED)) == 0) { ...
1407 </example>
1408 To distinguish timed from untimed <code>Object.wait</code>:
1409 <example>
1410 if (state & JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_IN_OBJECT_WAIT) {
1411 if (state & JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_WAITING_WITH_TIMEOUT) {
1412 printf("in Object.wait(long timeout)\n");
1413 } else {
1414 printf("in Object.wait()\n");
1415 }
1416 }
1417 </example>
1418 <p/>
1419 <b>Relationship to <code>java.lang.Thread.State</code></b>
1420 <p/>
1421 The thread state represented by <code>java.lang.Thread.State</code>
1422 returned from <code>java.lang.Thread.getState()</code> is a subset of the
1423 information returned from this function.
1424 The corresponding <code>java.lang.Thread.State</code> can be determined
1425 by using the provided conversion masks.
1426 For example, this returns the name of the <code>java.lang.Thread.State</code> thread state:
1427 <example>
1428 err = (*jvmti)->GetThreadState(jvmti, thread, &state);
1429 abortOnError(err);
1430 switch (state & JVMTI_JAVA_LANG_THREAD_STATE_MASK) {
1431 case JVMTI_JAVA_LANG_THREAD_STATE_NEW:
1432 return "NEW";
1433 case JVMTI_JAVA_LANG_THREAD_STATE_TERMINATED:
1434 return "TERMINATED";
1435 case JVMTI_JAVA_LANG_THREAD_STATE_RUNNABLE:
1436 return "RUNNABLE";
1437 case JVMTI_JAVA_LANG_THREAD_STATE_BLOCKED:
1438 return "BLOCKED";
1439 case JVMTI_JAVA_LANG_THREAD_STATE_WAITING:
1440 return "WAITING";
1441 case JVMTI_JAVA_LANG_THREAD_STATE_TIMED_WAITING:
1442 return "TIMED_WAITING";

2056 <functionlink id="jvmtiStartFunction">start function</functionlink>
2057 (specified with <paramlink id="proc"></paramlink>) as its single argument.
2058 This function allows the creation of agent threads
2059 for handling communication with another process or for handling events
2060 without the need to load a special subclass of <code>java.lang.Thread</code> or
2061 implementer of <code>java.lang.Runnable</code>.
2062 Instead, the created thread can run entirely in native code.
2063 However, the created thread does require a newly created instance
2064 of <code>java.lang.Thread</code> (referenced by the argument <code>thread</code>) to
2065 which it will be associated.
2066 The thread object can be created with JNI calls.

2082 <paramlink id="priority"></paramlink>.
2083 If enabled, a <eventlink id="ThreadStart"/> event will be sent.

2085 Since the thread has been started, the thread will be live when this function
2086 returns, unless the thread has died immediately.

2088 The thread group of the thread is ignored -- specifically, the thread is not
2089 added to the thread group and the thread is not seen on queries of the thread
2090 group at either the Java programming language or <jvmti/> levels.
2091 <p/>
2092 The thread is not visible to Java programming language queries but is

2353 <intro>
2354 These functions provide information about the stack of a thread.
2355 Stack frames are referenced by depth.
2356 The frame at depth zero is the current frame.
2357 <p/>
2358 Stack frames are as described in
2359 <vmspec chapter="3.6"/>,
2360 That is, they correspond to method
2361 invocations (including native methods) but do not correspond to platform native or
2362 VM internal frames.
2363 <p/>
2364 A <jvmti/> implementation may use method invocations to launch a thread and
2365 the corresponding frames may be included in the stack as presented by these functions --
2366 that is, there may be frames shown
2367 deeper than <code>main()</code> and <code>run()</code>.
2368 However this presentation must be consistent across all <jvmti/> functionality which
2369 uses stack frames or stack depth.

2774 Pop the current frame of <code>thread</code>'s stack.
2775 Popping a frame takes you to the previous frame.
2776 When the thread is resumed, the execution
2777 state of the thread is reset to the state
2778 immediately before the called method was invoked.
2779 That is (using <vmspec/> terminology):
2780 <ul>
2781 <li>the current frame is discarded as the previous frame becomes the current one</li>
2782 <li>the operand stack is restored--the argument values are added back
2783 and if the invoke was not <code>invokestatic</code>,
2784 <code>objectref</code> is added back as well</li>
2785 <li>the Java virtual machine PC is restored to the opcode
2786 of the invoke instruction</li>
2787 </ul>
2788 Note however, that any changes to the arguments, which
2789 occurred in the called method, remain;
2790 when execution continues, the first instruction to
2791 execute will be the invoke.
2792 <p/>
2793 Between calling <code>PopFrame</code> and resuming the
2794 thread the state of the stack is undefined.
2795 To pop frames beyond the first,
2796 these three steps must be repeated:
2797 <ul>
2798 <li>suspend the thread via an event (step, breakpoint, ...)</li>
2799 <li>call <code>PopFrame</code></li>

2935 <intro>
2936 These functions allow an agent to force a method
2937 to return at any point during its execution.
2938 The method which will return early is referred to as the <i>called method</i>.
2939 The called method is the current method
2940 (as defined by
2941 <vmspec chapter="3.6"/>)
2942 for the specified thread at
2943 the time the function is called.
2944 <p/>
2945 The specified thread must be suspended or must be the current thread.
2946 The return occurs when execution of Java programming
2947 language code is resumed on this thread.
2948 Between calling one of these functions and resumption
2949 of thread execution, the state of the stack is undefined.
2950 <p/>
2951 No further instructions are executed in the called method.
2952 Specifically, finally blocks are not executed.
2953 Note: this can cause inconsistent states in the application.
2954 <p/>
2955 A lock acquired by calling the called method
2956 (if it is a <code>synchronized</code> method)
2957 and locks acquired by entering <code>synchronized</code>
2958 blocks within the called method are released.
2959 Note: this does not apply to native locks or
2960 <code>java.util.concurrent.locks</code> locks.
2961 <p/>
2962 Events, such as <eventlink id="MethodExit"></eventlink>,
2963 are generated as they would be in a normal return.
2964 <p/>
2965 The called method must be a non-native Java programming
2966 language method.
2967 Forcing return on a thread with only one frame on the
2968 stack causes the thread to exit when resumed.

3246 callback functions such as <functionlink id="jvmtiHeapIterationCallback"/>.
3247 <p/>
3248 Tags are local to the environment; that is, the tags of one
3249 environment are not visible in another.
3250 <p/>
3251 Tags are <code>jlong</code> values which can be used
3252 simply to mark an object or to store a pointer to more detailed
3253 information. Objects which have not been tagged have a
3254 tag of zero.
3255 Setting a tag to zero makes the object untagged.

3258 <intro id="heapCallbacks" label="Heap Callback Functions">
3259 Heap functions which iterate through the heap and recursively
3260 follow object references use agent supplied callback functions
3261 to deliver the information.
3262 <p/>
3263 These heap callback functions must adhere to the following restrictions --
3264 These callbacks must not use JNI functions.
3265 These callbacks must not use <jvmti/> functions except
3266 <i>callback safe</i> functions which
3267 specifically allow such use (see the raw monitor, memory management,
3268 and environment local storage functions).
3269 <p/>
3270 An implementation may invoke a callback on an internal thread or
3271 the thread which called the iteration function.
3272 Heap callbacks are single threaded -- no more than one callback will
3273 be invoked at a time.
3274 <p/>
3275 The Heap Filter Flags can be used to prevent reporting
3276 based on the tag status of an object or its class.
3277 If no flags are set (the <code>jint</code> is zero), objects
3278 will not be filtered out.

3436 <description>
3437 For <datalink id="JVMTI_HEAP_REFERENCE_FIELD"/>, the
3438 referrer object is not a class or an inteface.
3439 In this case, <code>index</code> is the index of the field
3440 in the class of the referrer object.
3441 This class is referred to below as <i>C</i>.
3442 <p/>
3443 For <datalink id="JVMTI_HEAP_REFERENCE_STATIC_FIELD"/>,
3444 the referrer object is a class (referred to below as <i>C</i>)
3445 or an interface (referred to below as <i>I</i>).
3446 In this case, <code>index</code> is the index of the field in
3447 that class or interface.
3448 <p/>
3449 If the referrer object is not an interface, then the field
3450 indices are determined as follows:
3451 <ul>
3452 <li>make a list of all the fields in <i>C</i> and its
3453 superclasses, starting with all the fields in
3454 <code>java.lang.Object</code> and ending with all the
3455 fields in <i>C</i>.</li>
3456 <li>Within this list, put
3457 the fields for a given class in the order returned by
3458 <functionlink id="GetClassFields"/>.</li>
3459 <li>Assign the fields in this list indices
3460 <i>n</i>, <i>n</i>+1, ..., in order, where <i>n</i>
3461 is the count of the fields in all the interfaces
3462 implemented by <i>C</i>.
3463 Note that <i>C</i> implements all interfaces
3464 directly implemented by its superclasses; as well
3465 as all superinterfaces of these interfaces.</li>
3466 </ul>
3467 If the referrer object is an interface, then the field
3468 indices are determined as follows:
3469 <ul>
3470 <li>make a list of the fields directly declared in
3471 <i>I</i>.</li>
3472 <li>Within this list, put
3473 the fields in the order returned by
3474 <functionlink id="GetClassFields"/>.</li>
3475 <li>Assign the fields in this list indices
3476 <i>n</i>, <i>n</i>+1, ..., in order, where <i>n</i>
3477 is the count of the fields in all the superinterfaces
3478 of <i>I</i>.</li>
3479 </ul>
3480 All fields are included in this computation, regardless of
3481 field modifier (static, public, private, etc).
3482 <p/>
3483 For example, given the following classes and interfaces:
3484 <example>
3485 interface I0 {

3489 interface I1 extends I0 {

3493 interface I2 extends I0 {
3494 int y = 2;
3495 }
3496
3497 class C1 implements I1 {
3498 public static int a = 3;
3499 private int b = 4;

3501
3502 class C2 extends C1 implements I2 {
3503 static int q = 5;
3504 final int r = 6;
3505 }
3506 </example>
3507 Assume that <functionlink id="GetClassFields"/> called on
3508 <code>C1</code> returns the fields of <code>C1</code> in the
3509 order: a, b; and that the fields of <code>C2</code> are
3510 returned in the order: q, r.

3980 <intro>
3981 <rationale>
3982 The heap dumping functionality (below) uses a callback
3983 for each object. While it would seem that a buffered approach
3984 would provide better throughput, tests do
3985 not show this to be the case--possibly due to locality of
3986 memory reference or array access overhead.

4376 This function initiates a traversal over the objects that are
4377 directly and indirectly reachable from the specified object or,
4378 if <code>initial_object</code> is not specified, all objects
4379 reachable from the heap roots.
4380 The heap root are the set of system classes,
4381 JNI globals, references from thread stacks, and other objects used as roots
4382 for the purposes of garbage collection.
4383 <p/>
4384 This function operates by traversing the reference graph.
4385 Let <i>A</i>, <i>B</i>, ... represent objects.
4386 When a reference from <i>A</i> to <i>B</i> is traversed,
4387 when a reference from a heap root to <i>B</i> is traversed,
4388 or when <i>B</i> is specified as the <paramlink id="initial_object"/>,
4389 then <i>B</i> is said to be <i>visited</i>.
4390 A reference from <i>A</i> to <i>B</i> is not traversed until <i>A</i>
4391 is visited.
4392 References are reported in the same order that the references are traversed.
4393 Object references are reported by invoking the agent supplied
4394 callback function <functionlink id="jvmtiHeapReferenceCallback"/>.
4395 In a reference from <i>A</i> to <i>B</i>, <i>A</i> is known
4396 as the <i>referrer</i> and <i>B</i> as the <i>referree</i>.
4397 The callback is invoked exactly once for each reference from a referrer;
4398 this is true even if there are reference cycles or multiple paths to
4399 the referrer.
4400 There may be more than one reference between a referrer and a referree,
4401 each reference is reported.
4402 These references may be distinguished by examining the
4403 <datalink
4404 id="jvmtiHeapReferenceCallback.reference_kind"><code>reference_kind</code></datalink>
4405 and
4406 <datalink
4407 id="jvmtiHeapReferenceCallback.reference_info"><code>reference_info</code></datalink>
4408 parameters of the <functionlink id="jvmtiHeapReferenceCallback"/> callback.
4409 <p/>
4410 This function reports a Java programming language view of object references,
4411 not a virtual machine implementation view. The following object references
4412 are reported when they are non-null:
4413 <ul>
4414 <li>Instance objects report references to each non-primitive instance fields
4415 (including inherited fields).</li>
4416 <li>Instance objects report a reference to the object type (class).</li>
4417 <li>Classes report a reference to the superclass and directly
4418 implemented/extended interfaces.</li>
4419 <li>Classes report a reference to the class loader, protection domain,
4420 signers, and resolved entries in the constant pool.</li>
4421 <li>Classes report a reference to each directly declared non-primitive
4422 static field.</li>
4423 <li>Arrays report a reference to the array type (class) and each
4424 array element.</li>
4425 <li>Primitive arrays report a reference to the array type.</li>
4426 </ul>
4427 <p/>
4428 This function can also be used to examine primitive (non-object) values.
4429 The primitive value of an array or String
4430 is reported after the object has been visited;
4431 it is reported by invoking the agent supplied callback function
4432 <functionlink id="jvmtiArrayPrimitiveValueCallback"/> or
4433 <functionlink id="jvmtiStringPrimitiveValueCallback"/>.
4434 A primitive field
4435 is reported after the object with that field is visited;
4436 it is reported by invoking the agent supplied callback function
4437 <functionlink id="jvmtiPrimitiveFieldCallback"/>.
4438 <p/>
4439 Whether a callback is provided or is <code>NULL</code> only determines
4440 whether the callback will be invoked, it does not influence
4441 which objects are visited nor does it influence whether other callbacks
4442 will be invoked.
4443 However, the
4444 <datalink id="jvmtiHeapVisitControl">visit control flags</datalink>
4445 returned by <functionlink id="jvmtiHeapReferenceCallback"/>
4446 do determine if the objects referenced by the
4447 current object as visited.
4448 The <datalink id="jvmtiHeapFilter">heap filter flags</datalink>
4449 and <paramlink id="klass"/> provided as parameters to this function
4450 do not control which objects are visited but they do control which
4451 objects and primitive values are reported by the callbacks.
4452 For example, if the only callback that was set is
4453 <fieldlink id="array_primitive_value_callback" struct="jvmtiHeapCallbacks"/> and <code>klass</code>
4454 is set to the array of bytes class, then only arrays of byte will be
4455 reported.

4532 During the execution of this function the state of the heap
4533 does not change: no objects are allocated, no objects are
4534 garbage collected, and the state of objects (including
4535 held values) does not change.
4536 As a result, threads executing Java
4537 programming language code, threads attempting to resume the
4538 execution of Java programming language code, and threads

4611 Initiate an iteration over all objects in the heap.
4612 This includes both reachable and
4613 unreachable objects. Objects are visited in no particular order.
4614 <p/>
4615 Heap objects are reported by invoking the agent supplied
4616 callback function <functionlink id="jvmtiHeapIterationCallback"/>.
4617 References between objects are not reported.
4618 If only reachable objects are desired, or if object reference information
4619 is needed, use <functionlink id="FollowReferences"/>.
4620 <p/>
4621 This function can also be used to examine primitive (non-object) values.
4622 The primitive value of an array or String
4623 is reported after the object has been visited;
4624 it is reported by invoking the agent supplied callback function
4625 <functionlink id="jvmtiArrayPrimitiveValueCallback"/> or
4626 <functionlink id="jvmtiStringPrimitiveValueCallback"/>.
4627 A primitive field
4628 is reported after the object with that field is visited;
4629 it is reported by invoking the agent supplied
4630 callback function
4631 <functionlink id="jvmtiPrimitiveFieldCallback"/>.
4632 <p/>
4633 Unless the iteration is aborted by the
4634 <datalink id="jvmtiHeapVisitControl">Heap Visit Control Flags</datalink>
4635 returned by a callback, all objects in the heap are visited.
4636 Whether a callback is provided or is <code>NULL</code> only determines
4637 whether the callback will be invoked, it does not influence
4638 which objects are visited nor does it influence whether other callbacks
4639 will be invoked.
4640 The <datalink id="jvmtiHeapFilter">heap filter flags</datalink>
4641 and <paramlink id="klass"/> provided as parameters to this function

5442 <p/>
5443 For each object reference the <paramlink id="object_ref_callback"></paramlink>

5588 <description>
5589 Iterate over all objects in the heap that are instances of the specified class.
5590 This includes direct instances of the specified class and
5591 instances of all subclasses of the specified class.
5592 This includes both reachable and unreachable objects.
5593 <p/>
5594 The <paramlink id="object_filter"></paramlink> parameter indicates the
5595 objects for which the callback function is called. If this parameter
5596 is <code>JVMTI_HEAP_OBJECT_TAGGED</code> then the callback will only be
5597 called for every object that is tagged. If the parameter is
5598 <code>JVMTI_HEAP_OBJECT_UNTAGGED</code> then the callback will only be
5599 called for objects that are not tagged. If the parameter
5600 is <code>JVMTI_HEAP_OBJECT_EITHER</code> then the callback will be
5601 called for every object in the heap, irrespective of whether it is
5602 tagged or not.
5603 <p/>
5604 During the execution of this function the state of the heap
5605 does not change: no objects are allocated, no objects are
5606 garbage collected, and the state of objects (including
5607 held values) does not change.
5608 As a result, threads executing Java
5609 programming language code, threads attempting to resume the
5610 execution of Java programming language code, and threads
5611 attempting to execute JNI functions are typically stalled.

5659 These functions are used to retrieve or set the value of a local variable.
5660 The variable is identified by the depth of the frame containing its
5661 value and the variable's slot number within that frame.
5662 The mapping of variables to
5663 slot numbers can be obtained with the function
5664 <functionlink id="GetLocalVariableTable"></functionlink>.

6910 The returned constant pool might not have the same layout or

6918 That is, the bytecodes returned by GetBytecodes() will have
6919 constant pool indices which refer to constant pool entries returned
6920 by GetConstantPool().
6921 Note that since <functionlink id="RetransformClasses"/>

6927 The value of a constant pool entry used by a given bytecode will

6929 Constant pool entries which are not used directly or indirectly by

7163 <description>
7164 This function facilitates the
7165 <internallink id="bci">bytecode instrumentation</internallink>
7166 of already loaded classes.
7167 To replace the class definition without reference to the existing
7168 bytecodes, as one might do when recompiling from source for
7169 fix-and-continue debugging, <functionlink id="RedefineClasses"/>
7170 function should be used instead.
7171 <p/>
7172 When classes are initially loaded or when they are
7173 <functionlink id="RedefineClasses">redefined</functionlink>,
7174 the initial class file bytes can be transformed with the
7175 <eventlink id="ClassFileLoadHook"/> event.
7176 This function reruns the transformation process
7177 (whether or not a transformation has previously occurred).
7178 This retransformation follows these steps:
7179 <ul>
7180 <li>starting from the initial class file bytes
7181 </li>
7182 <li>for each <fieldlink id="can_retransform_classes"
7183 struct="jvmtiCapabilities">retransformation
7184 incapable</fieldlink>
7185 agent which received a
7186 <code>ClassFileLoadHook</code> event during the previous
7187 load or redefine, the bytes it returned
7188 (via the <code>new_class_data</code> parameter)
7189 are reused as the output of the transformation;
7190 note that this is equivalent to reapplying
7191 the previous transformation, unaltered. except that
7192 the <code>ClassFileLoadHook</code> event
7193 is <b>not</b> sent to these agents
7194 </li>
7195 <li>for each <fieldlink id="can_retransform_classes"
7196 struct="jvmtiCapabilities">retransformation
7197 capable</fieldlink>
7198 agent, the <code>ClassFileLoadHook</code> event is sent,
7199 allowing a new transformation to be applied
7200 </li>
7201 <li>the transformed class file bytes are installed as the new
7202 definition of the class
7203 </li>
7204 </ul>
7205 See the <eventlink id="ClassFileLoadHook"/> event for more details.
7206 <p/>
7207 The initial class file bytes represent the bytes passed to
7208 <code>ClassLoader.defineClass</code>
7209 or <code>RedefineClasses</code> (before any transformations
7210 were applied), however they may not exactly match them.
7211 The constant pool may differ in ways described in
7212 <functionlink id="GetConstantPool"/>.
7213 Constant pool indices in the bytecodes of methods will correspond.
7214 Some attributes may not be present.
7215 Where order is not meaningful, for example the order of methods,
7216 order may not be preserved.
7217 <p/>
7218 Retransformation can cause new versions of methods to be installed.
7219 Old method versions may become
7220 <internallink id="obsoleteMethods">obsolete</internallink>
7221 The new method version will be used on new invokes.
7222 If a method has active stack frames, those active frames continue to
7223 run the bytecodes of the original method version.
7224 <p/>
7225 This function does not cause any initialization except that which
7226 would occur under the customary JVM semantics.
7227 In other words, retransforming a class does not cause its initializers to be
7228 run. The values of static fields will remain as they were
7229 prior to the call.
7230 <p/>
7231 Threads need not be suspended.
7232 <p/>
7233 All breakpoints in the class are cleared.
7234 <p/>
7235 All attributes are updated.
7236 <p/>
7237 Instances of the retransformed class are not affected -- fields retain their
7238 previous values.
7239 <functionlink id="GetTag">Tags</functionlink> on the instances are
7240 also unaffected.
7241 <p/>
7242 In response to this call, no events other than the
7243 <eventlink id="ClassFileLoadHook"/> event
7244 will be sent.
7245 <p/>
7246 The retransformation may change method bodies, the constant pool and attributes.
7247 The retransformation must not add, remove or rename fields or methods, change the
7248 signatures of methods, change modifiers, or change inheritance.
7249 These restrictions may be lifted in future versions.
7250 See the error return description below for information on error codes
7251 returned if an unsupported retransformation is attempted.
7252 The class file bytes are not verified or installed until they have passed
7253 through the chain of <eventlink id="ClassFileLoadHook"/> events, thus the
7254 returned error code reflects the result of the transformations.
7255 If any error code is returned other than <code>JVMTI_ERROR_NONE</code>,
7256 none of the classes to be retransformed will have a new definition installed.
7257 When this function returns (with the error code of <code>JVMTI_ERROR_NONE</code>)
7258 all of the classes to be retransformed will have their new definitions installed.

7351 <description>
7352 All classes given are redefined according to the definitions
7353 supplied.
7354 This function is used to replace the definition of a class
7355 with a new definition, as might be needed in fix-and-continue
7356 debugging.
7357 Where the existing class file bytes are to be transformed, for
7358 example in
7359 <internallink id="bci">bytecode instrumentation</internallink>,
7360 <functionlink id="RetransformClasses"/> should be used.
7361 <p/>
7362 Redefinition can cause new versions of methods to be installed.
7363 Old method versions may become
7364 <internallink id="obsoleteMethods">obsolete</internallink>
7365 The new method version will be used on new invokes.
7366 If a method has active stack frames, those active frames continue to
7367 run the bytecodes of the original method version.
7368 If resetting of stack frames is desired, use
7369 <functionlink id="PopFrame"></functionlink>
7370 to pop frames with obsolete method versions.
7371 <p/>
7372 This function does not cause any initialization except that which
7373 would occur under the customary JVM semantics.
7374 In other words, redefining a class does not cause its initializers to be
7375 run. The values of static fields will remain as they were
7376 prior to the call.
7377 <p/>
7378 Threads need not be suspended.
7379 <p/>
7380 All breakpoints in the class are cleared.
7381 <p/>
7382 All attributes are updated.
7383 <p/>
7384 Instances of the redefined class are not affected -- fields retain their
7385 previous values.
7386 <functionlink id="GetTag">Tags</functionlink> on the instances are
7387 also unaffected.
7388 <p/>
7389 In response to this call, the <jvmti/> event
7390 <eventlink id="ClassFileLoadHook">Class File Load Hook</eventlink>
7391 will be sent (if enabled), but no other <jvmti/> events will be sent.
7392 <p/>
7393 The redefinition may change method bodies, the constant pool and attributes.
7394 The redefinition must not add, remove or rename fields or methods, change the
7395 signatures of methods, change modifiers, or change inheritance.
7396 These restrictions may be lifted in future versions.
7397 See the error return description below for information on error codes
7398 returned if an unsupported redefinition is attempted.
7399 The class file bytes are not verified or installed until they have passed
7400 through the chain of <eventlink id="ClassFileLoadHook"/> events, thus the
7401 returned error code reflects the result of the transformations applied
7402 to the bytes passed into <paramlink id="class_definitions"/>.
7403 If any error code is returned other than <code>JVMTI_ERROR_NONE</code>,
7404 none of the classes to be redefined will have a new definition installed.
7405 When this function returns (with the error code of <code>JVMTI_ERROR_NONE</code>)
7406 all of the classes to be redefined will have their new definitions installed.

8400 <synopsis>Set Native Method Prefix</synopsis>
8401 <description>
8402 This function modifies the failure handling of
8403 native method resolution by allowing retry
8404 with a prefix applied to the name.
8405 When used with the
8406 <eventlink id="ClassFileLoadHook">ClassFileLoadHook
8407 event</eventlink>, it enables native methods to be
8408 <internallink id="bci">instrumented</internallink>.
8409 <p/>
8410 Since native methods cannot be directly instrumented
8411 (they have no bytecodes), they must be wrapped with
8412 a non-native method which can be instrumented.
8413 For example, if we had:
8414 <example>
8415 native boolean foo(int x);</example>
8416 <p/>
8417 We could transform the class file (with the
8418 ClassFileLoadHook event) so that this becomes:
8419 <example>
8420 boolean foo(int x) {
8421 <i>... record entry to foo ...</i>
8422 return wrapped_foo(x);
8423 }
8424
8425 native boolean wrapped_foo(int x);</example>
8426 <p/>
8427 Where foo becomes a wrapper for the actual native method
8428 with the appended prefix "wrapped_". Note that
8429 "wrapped_" would be a poor choice of prefix since it
8430 might conceivably form the name of an existing method
8431 thus something like "$$$MyAgentWrapped$$$_" would be
8432 better but would make these examples less readable.
8433 <p/>
8434 The wrapper will allow data to be collected on the native
8435 method call, but now the problem becomes linking up the
8436 wrapped method with the native implementation.
8437 That is, the method <code>wrapped_foo</code> needs to be
8438 resolved to the native implementation of <code>foo</code>,
8439 which might be:
8440 <example>
8441 Java_somePackage_someClass_foo(JNIEnv* env, jint x)</example>
8442 <p/>
8443 This function allows the prefix to be specified and the
8444 proper resolution to occur.
8445 Specifically, when the standard resolution fails, the
8446 resolution is retried taking the prefix into consideration.
8447 There are two ways that resolution occurs, explicit
8448 resolution with the JNI function <code>RegisterNatives</code>
8449 and the normal automatic resolution. For
8450 <code>RegisterNatives</code>, the VM will attempt this
8451 association:
8452 <example>
8453 method(foo) -> nativeImplementation(foo)</example>
8454 <p/>
8455 When this fails, the resolution will be retried with
8456 the specified prefix prepended to the method name,
8457 yielding the correct resolution:
8458 <example>
8459 method(wrapped_foo) -> nativeImplementation(foo)</example>
8460 <p/>
8461 For automatic resolution, the VM will attempt:
8462 <example>
8463 method(wrapped_foo) -> nativeImplementation(wrapped_foo)</example>
8464 <p/>
8465 When this fails, the resolution will be retried with
8466 the specified prefix deleted from the implementation name,
8467 yielding the correct resolution:
8468 <example>
8469 method(wrapped_foo) -> nativeImplementation(foo)</example>
8470 <p/>
8471 Note that since the prefix is only used when standard
8472 resolution fails, native methods can be wrapped selectively.
8473 <p/>
8474 Since each <jvmti/> environment is independent and
8475 can do its own transformation of the bytecodes, more
8476 than one layer of wrappers may be applied. Thus each
8477 environment needs its own prefix. Since transformations
8478 are applied in order, the prefixes, if applied, will
8479 be applied in the same order.
8480 The order of transformation application is described in
8481 the <eventlink id="ClassFileLoadHook"/> event.
8482 Thus if three environments applied
8483 wrappers, <code>foo</code> might become
8484 <code>$env3_$env2_$env1_foo</code>. But if, say,
8485 the second environment did not apply a wrapper to
8486 <code>foo</code> it would be just
8487 <code>$env3_$env1_foo</code>. To be able to
8488 efficiently determine the sequence of prefixes,
8489 an intermediate prefix is only applied if its non-native
8490 wrapper exists. Thus, in the last example, even though
8491 <code>$env1_foo</code> is not a native method, the
8492 <code>$env1_</code> prefix is applied since
8493 <code>$env1_foo</code> exists.
8494 <p/>
8495 Since the prefixes are used at resolution time
8496 and since resolution may be arbitrarily delayed, a
8497 native method prefix must remain set as long as there
8498 are corresponding prefixed native methods.

8524 <description>
8525 For a normal agent, <functionlink id="SetNativeMethodPrefix"/>
8526 will provide all needed native method prefixing.
8527 For a meta-agent that performs multiple independent class
8528 file transformations (for example as a proxy for another
8529 layer of agents) this function allows each transformation
8530 to have its own prefix.
8531 The prefixes are applied in the order supplied and are
8532 processed in the same manor as described for the
8533 application of prefixes from multiple <jvmti/> environments
8534 in <functionlink id="SetNativeMethodPrefix"/>.
8535 <p/>
8536 Any previous prefixes are replaced. Thus, calling this
8537 function with a <paramlink id="prefix_count"/> of <code>0</code>
8538 disables prefixing in this environment.
8539 <p/>
8540 <functionlink id="SetNativeMethodPrefix"/> and this function
8541 are the two ways to set the prefixes.
8542 Calling <code>SetNativeMethodPrefix</code> with
8543 a prefix is the same as calling this function with
8544 <paramlink id="prefix_count"/> of <code>1</code>.
8545 Calling <code>SetNativeMethodPrefix</code> with
8546 <code>NULL</code> is the same as calling this function with
8547 <paramlink id="prefix_count"/> of <code>0</code>.

8833
8834 <intro>
8835 Provides the ability to intercept and resend
8836 Java Native Interface (JNI) function calls
8837 by manipulating the JNI function table.
8838 See <externallink id="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/jni/spec/functions.html">JNI
8839 Functions</externallink> in the <i>Java Native Interface Specification</i>.
8840 <p/>
8841 The following example illustrates intercepting the
8842 <code>NewGlobalRef</code> JNI call in order to count reference
8843 creation.
8844 <example>
8845 JNIEnv original_jni_Functions;
8846 JNIEnv redirected_jni_Functions;
8847 int my_global_ref_count = 0;
8848
8849 jobject
8850 MyNewGlobalRef(JNIEnv *jni_env, jobject lobj) {
8851 ++my_global_ref_count;
8852 return originalJNIFunctions->NewGlobalRef(env, lobj);
8853 }
8854
8855 void
8856 myInit() {
8857 jvmtiError err;
8858
8859 err = (*jvmti_env)->GetJNIFunctionTable(jvmti_env, &original_jni_Functions);
8860 if (err != JVMTI_ERROR_NONE) {
8861 die();
8862 }
8863 err = (*jvmti_env)->GetJNIFunctionTable(jvmti_env, &redirected_jni_Functions);
8864 if (err != JVMTI_ERROR_NONE) {
8865 die();
8866 }
8867 redirectedJNIFunctions->NewGlobalRef = MyNewGlobalRef;
8868 err = (*jvmti_env)->SetJNIFunctionTable(jvmti_env, redirected_jni_Functions);
8869 if (err != JVMTI_ERROR_NONE) {
8870 die();
8871 }
8872 }
8873 </example>
8874 Sometime after <code>myInit</code> is called the user's JNI
8875 code is executed which makes the call to create a new global
8876 reference. Instead of going to the normal JNI implementation
8877 the call goes to <code>myNewGlobalRef</code>. Note that a
8878 copy of the original function table is kept so that the normal
8879 JNI function can be called after the data is collected.
8880 Note also that any JNI functions which are not overwritten
8881 will behave normally.
8882 <todo>
8883 check that the example compiles and executes.

8895 For this function to take effect the the updated table entries must be

8897 Since the table is defined <code>const</code> some compilers may optimize
8898 away the access to the table, thus preventing this function from taking
8899 effect.

9094 <synopsis>Generate Events</synopsis>
9095 <description>
9096 Generate events to represent the current state of the VM.
9097 For example, if <paramlink id="event_type"/> is
9098 <code>JVMTI_EVENT_COMPILED_METHOD_LOAD</code>,
9099 a <eventlink id="CompiledMethodLoad"></eventlink> event will be
9100 sent for each currently compiled method.
9101 Methods that were loaded and now have been unloaded are not sent.
9102 The history of what events have previously been sent does not
9103 effect what events are sent by this function--for example,
9104 all currently compiled methods
9105 will be sent each time this function is called.
9106 <p/>
9107 This function is useful when
9108 events may have been missed due to the agent attaching after program
9109 execution begins; this function generates the missed events.
9110 <p/>
9111 Attempts to execute Java programming language code or
9112 JNI functions may be paused until this function returns -
9113 so neither should be called from the thread sending the event.
9114 This function returns only after the missed events have been
9115 sent, processed and have returned.
9116 The event may be sent on a different thread than the thread
9117 on which the event occurred.
9118 The callback for the event must be set with
9119 <functionlink id="SetEventCallbacks"></functionlink>
9120 and the event must be enabled with
9121 <functionlink id="SetEventNotificationMode"></functionlink>
9122 or the events will not occur.
9123 If the VM no longer has the information to generate some or
9124 all of the requested events, the events are simply not sent -
9125 no error is returned.
9126 <p/>
9127 Only the following events are supported:
9128 <ul>
9129 <li><eventlink id="CompiledMethodLoad"></eventlink></li>

9571
9572 <intro>
9573 The capabilities functions allow you to change the
9574 functionality available to <jvmti/>--that is,
9575 which <jvmti/>
9576 functions can be called, what events can be generated,
9577 and what functionality these events and functions can
9578 provide.
9579 <p/>
9580 The "Capabilities" section of each function and event describe which
9581 capabilities, if any, they are associated with. "Required Functionality"
9582 means it is available for use and no capabilities must be added to use it.
9583 "Optional Functionality" means the agent must possess the capability
9584 before it can be used.
9585 To possess a capability, the agent must
9586 <functionlink id="AddCapabilities">add the capability</functionlink>.
9587 "Optional Features" describe capabilities which,
9588 if added, extend the feature set.
9589 <p/>
9590 The potentially available capabilities of each <jvmti/> implementation are different.
9591 Depending on the implementation, a capability:
9592 <ul>
9593 <li>may never be added</li>
9594 <li>may be added in either the <code>OnLoad</code> or live phase in any environment</li>
9595 <li>may be added only during the <code>OnLoad</code> phase</li>
9596 <li>may be possessed by only one environment at a time</li>
9597 <li>may be possessed by only one environment at a time,
9598 and only during the <code>OnLoad</code> phase</li>
9599 <li>and so on ...</li>
9600 </ul>
9601 Frequently, the addition of a capability may incur a cost in execution speed, start up
9602 time, and/or memory footprint. Note that the overhead of using a capability
9603 is completely different than the overhead of possessing a capability.
9604 Take single stepping as an example. When single stepping is on (that
9605 is, when the event is enabled and thus actively sending events)
9606 the overhead of sending and processing an event
9607 on each instruction is huge in any implementation.
9608 However, the overhead of possessing the capability may be small or large,
9609 depending on the implementation. Also, when and if a capability is potentially
9610 available depends on the implementation. Some examples:
9611 <ul>
9612 <li>One VM might perform all execution by compiling bytecodes into
9613 native code and be unable to generate single step instructions.
9614 In this implementation the capability can not be added.</li>
9615 <li>Another VM may be able to switch execution to a single stepping
9616 interpreter at any time. In this implementation, having the capability has no
9617 overhead and could be added at any time.</li>
9618 <li>Yet another VM might be able to choose a bytecode compiling or single stepping capable interpreted
9619 execution engine at start up, but be unable to switch between them.
9620 In this implementation the capability would need to be added
9621 during the <code>OnLoad</code> phase (before bytecode
9622 execution begins) and would have a large impact on execution speed
9623 even if single stepping was never used.</li>
9624 <li>Still another VM might be able to add an "is single stepping on" check
9625 into compiled bytecodes or a generated interpreter. Again in this implementation
9626 the capability would need to be added during the <code>OnLoad</code> phase but the overhead (a test
9627 and branch on each instruction) would be considerably less.</li>
9628 </ul>
9629 <p/>
9630 Each <jvmti/> <internallink id="environments">environment</internallink>
9631 has its own set of capabilities.
9632 Initially, that set is empty.
9633 Any desired capability must be added.
9634 If possible, capabilities should be added during the <code>OnLoad</code> phase. For most
9635 virtual machines certain capabilities require special set up for
9636 the virtual machine and this set up must happen
9637 during the <code>OnLoad</code> phase, before the virtual machine begins execution.
9638 Once a capability is added, it can
9639 only be removed if explicitly relinquished by the environment.
9640 <p/>
9641 The agent can,
9642 <functionlink id="GetPotentialCapabilities">determine what
9643 capabilities this VM can potentially provide</functionlink>,
9644 <functionlink id="AddCapabilities">add the capabilities
9645 to be used</functionlink>,
9646 <functionlink id="RelinquishCapabilities">release capabilities
9647 which are no longer needed</functionlink>, and
9648 <functionlink id="GetCapabilities">examine the currently available
9649 capabilities</functionlink>.
9650 </intro>
9651
9652 <intro id="capabilityExamples" label="Capability Examples">
9653 For example, a freshly started agent (in the <code>OnLoad</code> function)
9654 wants to enable all possible capabilities.
9655 Note that, in general, this is not advisable as the agent may suffer
9656 a performance penalty for functionality it is not using.
9657 The code might look like this in C:
9658 <example>
9659 jvmtiCapabilities capa;
9660 jvmtiError err;
9661
9662 err = (*jvmti)->GetPotentialCapabilities(jvmti, &capa);
9663 if (err == JVMTI_ERROR_NONE) {
9664 err = (*jvmti)->AddCapabilities(jvmti, &capa);
9665 </example>
9666 For example, if an agent wants to check if it can get
9667 the bytecodes of a method (that is, it wants to check
9668 if it previously added this capability and has not
9669 relinquished it), the code might
9670 look like this in C:
9671 <example>
9672 jvmtiCapabilities capa;
9673 jvmtiError err;
9674
9675 err = (*jvmti)->GetCapabilities(jvmti, &capa);
9676 if (err == JVMTI_ERROR_NONE) {
9677 if (capa.can_get_bytecodes) { ... } }

9989 <issue>There is strong opposition to this function. The concern is
9990 that it would be difficult or impossible to provide meaningful

9992 that a single number could not represent. There is doubt that
9993 conditional implementations would be used or are even a good idea.
9994 The thought is that release documentation for the implementation

10002 of adding the capabilities pointed to by

10004 The returned estimates are in percentage of additional overhead, thus
10005 a time impact of 100 mean the application might run
10006 at half the speed.
10007 The estimates are very rough approximations and are not guaranteed.
10008 Note also, that the estimates are of the impact of having the
10009 capability available--when and if it is used the impact may be
10010 much greater.
10011 Estimates can be for a single capability or for a set of
10012 capabilities. Note that the costs are not necessarily additive,
10013 adding support for one capability might make another available
10014 for free or conversely having two capabilities at once may
10015 have multiplicative impact.
10016 Estimates are relative to the current set of capabilities -
10017 that is, how much more impact given the currently possessed capabilities.

10672 Return a VM system property value given the property key.
10673 <p/>
10674 The function <functionlink id="GetSystemProperties"/>
10675 returns the set of property keys which may be used.
10676 The properties which can be retrieved may grow during
10677 execution.
10678 <p/>
10679 Since this is a VM view of system properties, the values
10680 of properties may differ from that returned by
10681 <code>java.lang.System.getProperty(String)</code>.
10682 A typical VM might copy the values of the VM system
10683 properties into the <code>Properties</code> held by
10684 <code>java.lang.System</code> during the initialization
10685 of that class. Thereafter any changes to the VM system
10686 properties (with <functionlink id="SetSystemProperty"/>)
10687 or the <code>java.lang.System</code> system properties
10688 (with <code>java.lang.System.setProperty(String,String)</code>)
10689 would cause the values to diverge.
10690 JNI method invocation may be used to access
10691 <code>java.lang.System.getProperty(String)</code>.

11327 <eventsection label="Events">
11328 <intro label="Handling Events" id="eventIntro">
11329 Agents can be informed of many events that occur in application
11330 programs.
11331 <p/>
11332 To handle events, designate a set of callback functions with
11333 <functionlink id="SetEventCallbacks"></functionlink>.
11334 For each event the corresponding callback function will be
11335 called.
11336 Arguments to the callback function provide additional
11337 information about the event.
11338 <p/>
11339 The callback function is usually called from within an application
11340 thread. The <jvmti/> implementation does not
11341 queue events in any way. This means
11342 that event callback functions must be written
11343 carefully. Here are some general guidelines. See
11344 the individual event descriptions for further
11345 suggestions.
11346 <p/>
11347 <ul>
11348 <li>Any exception thrown during the execution of an event callback can
11349 overwrite any current pending exception in the current application thread.
11350 Care must be taken to preserve a pending exception
11351 when an event callback makes a JNI call that might generate an exception.
11352 </li>
11353 <li>Event callback functions must be re-entrant. The <jvmti/> implementation does
11354 not queue events. If an agent needs to process events one at a time, it
11355 can use a raw monitor inside the
11356 event callback functions to serialize event processing.
11357 </li>
11358 <li>Event callback functions that execute JNI's FindClass function to load
11359 classes need to note that FindClass locates the class loader associated
11360 with the current native method. For the purposes of class loading, an
11361 event callback that includes a JNI environment as a parameter to the
11362 callback will treated as if it is a native call, where the native method
11363 is in the class of the event thread's current frame.
11364 </li>
11365 </ul>
11366 <p/>
11367 Some <jvmti/> events identify objects with JNI references.
11368 All references
11369 in <jvmti/> events are JNI local references and will become invalid
11370 after the event callback returns.
11371 Unless stated otherwise, memory referenced by pointers sent in event
11372 callbacks may not be referenced after the event callback returns.
11373 <p/>
11374 Except where stated otherwise, events are delivered on the thread
11375 that caused the event.
11376 Events are sent at the time they occur.
11377 The specification for each event includes the set of
11378 <functionlink id="GetPhase">phases</functionlink> in which it can be sent;
11379 if an event triggering activity occurs during another phase, no event
11380 is sent.
11381 <p/>
11382 A thread that generates an event does not change its execution status
11383 (for example, the event does not cause the thread to be suspended).
11384 If an agent wishes the event to result in suspension, then the agent
11385 is responsible for explicitly suspending the thread with
11386 <functionlink id="SuspendThread"></functionlink>.
11387 <p/>
11388 If an event is enabled in multiple environments, the event will be sent
11389 to each agent in the order that the environments were created.
11390 </intro>
11391
11392 <intro label="Enabling Events" id="enablingevents">
11393 All events are initially disabled. In order to receive any
11394 event:
11395 <ul>
11396 <li>
11397 If the event requires a capability, that capability must
11398 be added with
11399 <functionlink id="AddCapabilities"></functionlink>.
11400 </li>
11401 <li>
11402 A callback for the event must be set with
11403 <functionlink id="SetEventCallbacks"></functionlink>.
11404 </li>
11405 <li>
11406 The event must be enabled with
11407 <functionlink id="SetEventNotificationMode"></functionlink>.
11408 </li>
11409 </ul>
11410 </intro>
11411
11412 <intro label="Multiple Co-located Events" id="eventorder">
11413 In many situations it is possible for multiple events to occur
11414 at the same location in one thread. When this happens, all the events
11415 are reported through the event callbacks in the order specified in this section.
11416 <p/>
11417 If the current location is at the entry point of a method, the
11418 <eventlink id="MethodEntry"></eventlink> event is reported before
11419 any other event at the current location in the same thread.
11420 <p/>
11421 If an exception catch has been detected at the current location,
11422 either because it is the beginning of a catch clause or a native method
11423 that cleared a pending exception has returned, the
11424 <code>exceptionCatch</code> event is reported before
11425 any other event at the current location in the same thread.
11426 <p/>
11427 If a <code>singleStep</code> event or
11428 <code>breakpoint</code> event is triggered at the
11429 current location, the event is defined to occur
11430 immediately before the code at the current location is executed.
11431 These events are reported before any events which are triggered
11432 by the execution of code at the current location in the same
11433 thread (specifically:
11434 <code>exception</code>,
11435 <code>fieldAccess</code>, and
11436 <code>fieldModification</code>).
11437 If both a step and breakpoint event are triggered for the same thread and
11438 location, the step event is reported before the breakpoint event.
11439 <p/>
11440 If the current location is the exit point of a method (that is, the last
11441 location before returning to the caller), the
11442 <eventlink id="MethodExit"></eventlink> event and
11443 the <eventlink id="FramePop"></eventlink> event (if requested)
11444 are reported after all other events at the current location in the same
11445 thread. There is no specified ordering of these two events
11446 with respect to each other.
11447 <p/>
11448 Co-located events can be triggered during the processing of some other
11449 event by the agent at the same location in the same thread.
11450 If such an event, of type <i>y</i>, is triggered during the processing of
11451 an event of type <i>x</i>, and if <i>x</i>
11452 precedes <i>y</i> in the ordering specified above, the co-located event
11453 <i>y</i> is reported for the current thread and location. If <i>x</i> does not precede
11454 <i>y</i>, <i>y</i> is not reported for the current thread and location.
11455 For example, if a breakpoint is set at the current location
11456 during the processing of <eventlink id="SingleStep"></eventlink>,
11457 that breakpoint will be reported before the thread moves off the current
11458 location.
11459 <p/>The following events are never considered to be co-located with
11460 other events.
11461 <ul>
11462 <li><eventlink id="VMStart"></eventlink></li>
11463 <li><eventlink id="VMInit"></eventlink></li>

11480 <description>
11481 Single step events allow the agent to trace thread execution
11482 at the finest granularity allowed by the VM. A single step event is
11483 generated whenever a thread reaches a new location.
11484 Typically, single step events represent the completion of one VM
11485 instruction as defined in <vmspec/>. However, some implementations
11486 may define locations differently. In any case the
11487 <code>method</code> and <code>location</code>
11488 parameters uniquely identify the current location and allow
11489 the mapping to source file and line number when that information is
11490 available.
11491 <p/>
11492 No single step events are generated from within native methods.

11920 <description>
11921 A Native Method Bind event is sent when a VM binds a
11922 Java programming language native method
11923 to the address of a function that implements the native method.
11924 This will occur when the native method is called for the first time
11925 and also occurs when the JNI function <code>RegisterNatives</code> is called.
11926 This event allows the bind to be redirected to an agent-specified
11927 proxy function.
11928 This event is not sent when the native method is unbound.
11929 Typically, this proxy function will need to be specific to a
11930 particular method or, to handle the general case, automatically
11931 generated assembly code, since after instrumentation code is
11932 executed the function at the original binding
11933 address will usually be invoked.
11934 The original binding can be restored or the redirection changed
11935 by use of the JNI function <code>RegisterNatives</code>.
11936 Some events may be sent during the primordial phase, JNI and
11937 most of <jvmti/> cannot be used at this time but the method and
11938 address can be saved for use later.

11993 <description>
11994 Exception events are generated whenever an exception is first detected
11995 in a Java programming language method.
11996 Where "exception" means any <code>java.lang.Throwable</code>.
11997 The exception may have been thrown by a Java programming language or native
11998 method, but in the case of native methods, the event is not generated
11999 until the exception is first seen by a Java programming language method. If an exception is
12000 set and cleared in a native method (and thus is never visible to Java programming language code),
12001 no exception event is generated.
12002 <p/>
12003 The <code>method</code> and <code>location</code>
12004 parameters uniquely identify the current location
12005 (where the exception was detected) and allow
12006 the mapping to source file and line number when that information is
12007 available. The <code>exception</code> field identifies the thrown
12008 exception object. The <code>catch_method</code>
12009 and <code>catch_location</code> identify the location of the catch clause,
12010 if any, that handles the thrown exception. If there is no such catch clause,
12011 each field is set to 0. There is no guarantee that the thread will ever
12012 reach this catch clause. If there are native methods on the call stack
12013 between the throw location and the catch clause, the exception may
12014 be reset by one of those native methods.
12015 Similarly, exceptions that are reported as uncaught (<code>catch_klass</code>
12016 et al. set to 0) may in fact be caught by native code.
12017 Agents can check for these occurrences by monitoring
12018 <eventlink id="ExceptionCatch"></eventlink> events.
12019 Note that finally clauses are implemented as catch and re-throw. Therefore they
12020 will be reported in the catch location.

12233 <p/>
12234 This event is sent at an early stage in loading the class. As
12235 a result the class should be used carefully. Note, for example,
12236 that methods and fields are not yet loaded, so queries for methods,
12237 fields, subclasses, and so on will not give correct results.
12238 See "Loading of Classes and Interfaces" in the <i>Java Language
12239 Specification</i>. For most
12240 purposes the <eventlink id="ClassPrepare"></eventlink> event will
12241 be more useful.

12274 A class unload event is generated when the class is about to be unloaded.
12275 Class unload events take place during garbage collection and must be
12276 handled extremely carefully. The garbage collector holds many locks
12277 and has suspended all other threads, so the event handler cannot depend
12278 on the ability to acquire any locks. The class unload event handler should
12279 do as little as possible, perhaps by queuing information to be processed
12280 later. In particular, the <code>jclass</code> should be used only in
12281 the JNI function <code>isSameObject</code> or in the following <jvmti/> functions:

12320 A class prepare event is generated when class preparation is complete.
12321 At this point, class fields, methods, and implemented interfaces are
12322 available, and no code from the class has been executed. Since array
12323 classes never have fields or methods, class prepare events are not

12356 <description>
12357 This event is sent when the VM obtains class file data,
12358 but before it constructs
12359 the in-memory representation for that class.
12360 This event is also sent when the class is being modified by the
12361 <functionlink id="RetransformClasses"/> function or
12362 the <functionlink id="RedefineClasses"/> function,
12363 called in any <jvmti/> environment.
12364 The agent can instrument
12365 the existing class file data sent by the VM to include profiling/debugging hooks.
12366 See the description of
12367 <internallink id="bci">bytecode instrumentation</internallink>
12368 for usage information.
12369 <p/>
12370 This event may be sent before the VM is initialized (the start
12371 <functionlink id="GetPhase">phase</functionlink>).
12372 Some classes might not be compatible
12373 with the function (eg. ROMized classes) and this event will not be
12374 generated for these classes.
12375 <p/>
12376 The agent must allocate the space for the modified
12377 class file data buffer
12378 using the memory allocation function
12379 <functionlink id="Allocate"></functionlink> because the
12380 VM is responsible for freeing the new class file data buffer
12381 using <functionlink id="Deallocate"></functionlink>.
12382 <p/>
12383 If the agent wishes to modify the class file, it must set
12384 <code>new_class_data</code> to point
12385 to the newly instrumented class file data buffer and set
12386 <code>new_class_data_len</code> to the length of that
12387 buffer before returning
12388 from this call. If no modification is desired, the agent simply
12389 does not set <code>new_class_data</code>. If multiple agents
12390 have enabled this event the results are chained. That is, if
12391 <code>new_class_data</code> has been set, it becomes the
12392 <code>class_data</code> for the next agent.
12393 <p/>
12394 The order that this event is sent to each environment differs
12395 from other events.
12396 This event is sent to environments in the following order:
12397 <ul>
12398 <li><fieldlink id="can_retransform_classes"
12399 struct="jvmtiCapabilities">retransformation
12400 incapable</fieldlink>

12407 environments, in the
12408 order in which they were created
12409 </li>
12410 </ul>
12411 When triggered by <functionlink id="RetransformClasses"/>,
12412 this event is sent only to <fieldlink id="can_retransform_classes"
12413 struct="jvmtiCapabilities">retransformation

12991 <description>
12992 Sent when a method causes the virtual machine to allocate an
12993 Object visible to Java programming language code and the
12994 allocation is not detectable by other intrumentation mechanisms.
12995 Generally object allocation should be detected by instrumenting
12996 the bytecodes of allocating methods.
12997 Object allocation generated in native code by JNI function
12998 calls should be detected using
12999 <internallink id="jniIntercept">JNI function interception</internallink>.
13000 Some methods might not have associated bytecodes and are not
13001 native methods, they instead are executed directly by the
13002 VM. These methods should send this event.
13003 Virtual machines which are incapable of bytecode instrumentation
13004 for some or all of their methods can send this event.
13005 <p/>
13006 Typical examples where this event might be sent:
13007 <ul>
13008 <li>Reflection -- for example, <code>java.lang.Class.newInstance()</code></li>
13009 <li>Methods not represented by bytecodes -- for example, VM intrinsics and
13010 J2ME preloaded classes</li>
13011 </ul>
13012 Cases where this event would not be generated:
13013 <ul>
13014 <li>Allocation due to bytecodes -- for example, the <code>new</code>
13015 and <code>newarray</code> VM instructions</li>
13016 <li>Allocation due to JNI function calls -- for example,
13017 <code>AllocObject</code></li>
13018 <li>Allocations during VM initialization</li>
13019 <li>VM internal objects</li>

13093 Only stop-the-world collections are reported--that is, collections during

13095 This means that some collectors will never generate these events.
13096 This event is sent while the VM is still stopped, thus
13097 the event handler must not use JNI functions and
13098 must not use <jvmti/> functions except those which

13125 <p/>
13126 Some agents may need to do post garbage collection operations that
13127 require the use of the disallowed <jvmti/> or JNI functions. For these
13128 cases an agent thread can be created which waits on a raw monitor,
13129 and the handler for the Garbage Collection Finish event simply
13130 notifies the raw monitor

13132 This event is always sent as a matched pair with
13133 <eventlink id="GarbageCollectionStart"/> (assuming both events are enabled).
13134 <issue>
13135 The most important use of this event is to provide timing information,
13136 and thus additional information is not required. However,
13137 information about the collection which is "free" should be included -
13138 what that information is needs to be determined.

13375 <intro id="suspendRequired" label="Resolved Issue: Suspend - Required or Automatic">
13376 JVMDI requires that the agent suspend threads before calling
13377 certain sensitive functions. JVMPI requires garbage collection to be
13378 disabled before calling certain sensitive functions.
13379 It was suggested that rather than have this requirement, that
13380 VM place itself in a suitable state before performing an
13381 operation. This makes considerable sense since each VM
13382 knows its requirements and can most easily arrange a
13383 safe state.
13384 <p/>
13385 The ability to externally suspend/resume threads will, of
13386 course, remain. The ability to enable/disable garbage collection will not.
13387 <p/>
13388 This issue is resolved--suspend will not
13389 be required. The spec has been updated to reflect this.
13390 </intro>
13391
13392 <intro id="stackSampling" label="Resolved Issue: Call Stack Sampling">
13393 There are a variety of approaches to sampling call stacks.
13394 The biggest bifurcation is between VM controlled and agent
13395 controlled.
13396 <p/>
13397 This issue is resolved--agent controlled
13398 sampling will be the approach.
13399 </intro>
13400
13401 <intro id="threadRepresentation" label="Resolved Issue: Thread Representation">
13402 JVMDI represents threads as jthread. JVMPI primarily
13403 uses JNIEnv* to represent threads.
13404 <p/>
13405 The Expert Group has chosen jthread as the representation
13406 for threads in <jvmti/>.
13407 JNIEnv* is sent by
13408 events since it is needed to JNI functions. JNIEnv, per the
13409 JNI spec, are not supposed to be used outside their thread.
13410 </intro>
13411
13412 <intro id="design" label="Resolved Issue: Method Representation">
13413 The JNI spec allows an implementation to depend on jclass/jmethodID
13414 pairs, rather than simply a jmethodID, to reference a method.
13415 JVMDI, for consistency, choose the same representation.
13416 JVMPI, however, specifies that a jmethodID alone maps to a
13417 method. Both of the Sun <tm>J2SE</tm> virtual machines (Classic and <tm>HotSpot</tm>) store
13418 pointers in jmethodIDs, and as a result, a jmethodID is sufficient.
13419 In fact, any JVM implementation that supports JVMPI must have
13420 such a representation.
13421 <jvmti/> will use jmethodID as a unique representation of a method
13422 (no jclass is used).
13423 There should be efficiency gains, particularly in
13424 functionality like stack dumping, to this representation.
13425 <p/>
13426 Note that fields were not used in JVMPI and that the access profile
13427 of fields differs from methods--for implementation efficiency
13428 reasons, a jclass/jfieldID pair will still be needed for field
13429 reference.

13432 <intro id="localReferenceIssue" label="Resolved Issue: Local References">
13433 Functions return local references.
13434 </intro>
13435
13436 <intro id="frameRep" label="Resolved Issue: Representation of frames">
13437 In JVMDI, a frame ID is used to represent a frame. Problem with this
13438 is that a VM must track when a frame becomes invalid, a far better
13439 approach, and the one used in <jvmti/>, is to reference frames by depth.
13440 </intro>
13441
13442 <intro id="requiredCapabilities" label="Issue: Required Capabilities">
13443 Currently, having a required capabilities means that the functionality
13444 is optional. Capabilities are useful even for required functionality
13445 since they can inform the VM is needed set-up. Thus, there should be
13446 a set of capabilities that a conformant implementation must provide
13447 (if requested during Agent_OnLoad).
13448 </intro>
13449
13450 <intro id="taghint" label="Proposal: add tag hint function">
13451 A hint of the percentage of objects that will be tagged would
13452 help the VM pick a good implementation.
13453 </intro>
13454
13455 <intro id="moreMonitorQueries" label="Request: More Monitor Quires">
13456 How difficult or easy would be to extend the monitor_info category to include
13457 <pre>
13458 - current number of monitors
13459 - enumeration of monitors
13460 - enumeration of threads waiting on a given monitor
13461 </pre>
13462 The reason for my question is the fact that current get_monitor_info support
13463 requires the agent to specify a given thread to get the info which is probably
13464 OK in the profiling/debugging space, while in the monitoring space the agent
13465 could be watching the monitor list and then decide which thread to ask for
13466 the info. You might ask why is this important for monitoring .... I think it
13467 can aid in the detection/prediction of application contention caused by hot-locks.
