JVMTM Tool Interface
Version 11.0
What is the JVM Tool Interface?
The JVMTM Tool Interface (JVM TI)
is a programming interface used by development and monitoring tools.
It provides both a way to inspect the state and
to control the execution of applications running in the
JavaTM virtual machine (VM).
JVM TI is intended to provide a VM interface for the full breadth of tools
that need access to VM state, including but not limited to: profiling,
debugging, monitoring, thread analysis, and coverage analysis tools.
JVM TI may not be available in all implementations of the JavaTM virtual
machine.
JVM TI is a two-way interface.
A client of JVM TI, hereafter called an agent,
can be notified of
interesting occurrences through events.
JVM TI
can query and control the application through many
functions,
either in response to events or
independent of them.
Agents run in the same process with and communicate directly with
the virtual machine executing
the application being examined. This communication is
through a native interface (JVM TI). The native in-process interface allows
maximal control with minimal intrusion on the part of a tool.
Typically, agents are relatively compact. They can be controlled
by a separate process which implements the bulk of a tool's
function without interfering with the target application's normal execution.
Architecture
Tools can be written directly to JVM TI or indirectly
through higher level interfaces.
The Java Platform Debugger Architecture includes JVM TI, but also
contains higher-level, out-of-process debugger interfaces. The higher-level
interfaces are more appropriate than JVM TI for many tools.
For more information on the Java Platform Debugger Architecture,
see the
Java
Platform Debugger Architecture website.
Writing Agents
Agents can be written in any native language that supports C
language calling conventions and C or C++
definitions.
The function, event, data type, and constant definitions needed for
using JVM TI are defined in the include file jvmti.h.
To use these definitions add the J2SETM include directory
to your include path and add
#include <jvmti.h>
to your source code.
Deploying Agents
An agent is deployed in a platform specific manner but is typically the
platform equivalent of a dynamic library. On the WindowsTM operating
system, for example, an agent library is a "Dynamic Linked Library" (DLL).
On the SolarisTM Operating Environment, an agent library is a shared
object (.so file).
An agent may be started at VM startup by specifying the agent library
name using a command line option.
Some implementations may support a mechanism to
start agents in the live phase.
The details of how this is initiated are implementation specific.
Statically Linked Agents (since version 1.2.3)
A native JVMTI Agent may be statically linked with the VM.
The manner in which the library and VM image are combined is
implementation-dependent.
An agent L whose image has been combined with the VM is defined as
statically linked if and only if the agent exports a function
called Agent_OnLoad_L.
If a statically linked agent L exports a function called
Agent_OnLoad_L and a function called Agent_OnLoad, the Agent_OnLoad
function will be ignored.
If an agent L is statically linked, an Agent_OnLoad_L
function will be invoked with the same arguments and expected return
value as specified for the Agent_OnLoad function.
An agent L that is statically linked will prohibit an agent of
the same name from being loaded dynamically.
The VM will invoke the Agent_OnUnload_L function of the agent, if such
a function is exported, at the same point during VM execution as it would
have called the dynamic entry point Agent_OnUnLoad. A statically loaded
agent cannot be unloaded. The Agent_OnUnload_L function will still be
called to do any other agent shutdown related tasks.
If a statically linked agent L exports a function called
Agent_OnUnLoad_L and a function called Agent_OnUnLoad, the Agent_OnUnLoad
function will be ignored.
If an agent L is statically linked, an Agent_OnAttach_L function
will be invoked with the same arguments and expected return value as
specified for the Agent_OnAttach function.
If a statically linked agent L exports a function called
Agent_OnAttach_L and a function called Agent_OnAttach, the Agent_OnAttach
function will be ignored.
Agent Command Line Options
The term "command-line option" is used below to
mean options supplied in the JavaVMInitArgs argument
to the JNI_CreateJavaVM function of the JNI
Invocation API.
One of the two following
command-line options is used on VM startup to
properly load and run agents.
These arguments identify the library containing
the agent as well as an options
string to be passed in at startup.
-
-agentlib:<agent-lib-name>=<options>
-
The name following
-agentlib: is the name of the
library to load. Lookup of the library, both its full name and location,
proceeds in a platform-specific manner.
Typically, the <agent-lib-name> is expanded to an
operating system specific file name.
The <options> will be passed to the agent on start-up.
For example, if the option
-agentlib:foo=opt1,opt2 is specified, the VM will attempt to
load the shared library foo.dll from the system PATH
under WindowsTM or libfoo.so from the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH under the SolarisTM operating
environment.
If the agent library is statically linked into the executable
then no actual loading takes place.
-
-agentpath:<path-to-agent>=<options>
-
The path following
-agentpath: is the absolute path from which
to load the library.
No library name expansion will occur.
The <options> will be passed to the agent on start-up.
For example, if the option
-agentpath:c:\myLibs\foo.dll=opt1,opt2 is specified, the VM will attempt to
load the shared library c:\myLibs\foo.dll. If the agent
library is statically linked into the executable
then no actual loading takes place.
For a dynamic shared library agent, the start-up routine
Agent_OnLoad
in the library will be invoked. If the agent library is statically linked
into the executable then the system will attempt to invoke the
Agent_OnLoad_<agent-lib-name> entry point where
<agent-lib-name> is the basename of the
agent. In the above example -agentpath:c:\myLibs\foo.dll=opt1,opt2,
the system will attempt to find and call the Agent_OnLoad_foo start-up routine.
Libraries loaded with -agentlib: or -agentpath:
will be searched for JNI native method implementations to facilitate the
use of Java programming language code in tools, as is needed for
bytecode instrumentation.
The agent libraries will be searched after all other libraries have been
searched (agents wishing to override or intercept the native method
implementations of non-agent methods can use the
NativeMethodBind event).
These switches do the above and nothing more - they do not change the
state of the VM or JVM TI. No command line options are needed
to enable JVM TI
or aspects of JVM TI, this is handled programmatically
by the use of
capabilities.
Agent Start-Up
The VM starts each agent by invoking a start-up function.
If the agent is started in the OnLoad
phase the function
Agent_OnLoad
or Agent_OnLoad_L
for statically linked agents will be invoked.
If the agent is started in the live
phase the function
Agent_OnAttach
or Agent_OnAttach_L
for statically linked agents will be invoked.
Exactly one call to a start-up function is made per agent.
Agent Start-Up (OnLoad phase)
If an agent is started during the OnLoad phase then its
agent library must export a start-up function with the following prototype:
JNIEXPORT jint JNICALL
Agent_OnLoad(JavaVM *vm, char *options, void *reserved)
Or for a statically linked agent named 'L':
JNIEXPORT jint JNICALL
Agent_OnLoad_L(JavaVM *vm, char *options, void *reserved)
The VM will start the agent by calling this function.
It will be called early enough in VM initialization that:
-
system properties
may be set before they have been used in the start-up of the VM
-
the full set of
capabilities
is still available (note that capabilities that configure the VM
may only be available at this time--see the
Capability function section)
- no bytecodes have executed
- no classes have been loaded
- no objects have been created
The VM will call the Agent_OnLoad or
Agent_OnLoad_<agent-lib-name> function with
<options> as the second argument -
that is, using the command-line option examples,
"opt1,opt2" will be passed to the char *options
argument of Agent_OnLoad.
The options argument is encoded as a
modified UTF-8 string.
If =<options> is not specified,
a zero length string is passed to options.
The lifespan of the options string is the
Agent_OnLoad or Agent_OnLoad_<agent-lib-name>
call. If needed beyond this time the string or parts of the string must
be copied.
The period between when Agent_OnLoad is called and when it
returns is called the OnLoad phase.
Since the VM is not initialized during the OnLoad
phase,
the set of allowed operations
inside Agent_OnLoad is restricted (see the function descriptions for the
functionality available at this time).
The agent can safely process the options and set
event callbacks with SetEventCallbacks. Once
the VM initialization event is received
(that is, the VMInit
callback is invoked), the agent
can complete its initialization.
Rationale:
Early startup is required so that agents can set the desired capabilities,
many of which must be set before the VM is initialized.
In JVMDI, the -Xdebug command-line option provided
very coarse-grain control of capabilities.
JVMPI implementations use various tricks to provide a single "JVMPI on" switch.
No reasonable command-line
option could provide the fine-grain of control required to balance needed capabilities vs
performance impact.
Early startup is also needed so that agents can control the execution
environment - modifying the file system and system properties to install
their functionality.
The return value from Agent_OnLoad or
Agent_OnLoad_<agent-lib-name> is used to indicate an error.
Any value other than zero indicates an error and causes termination of the VM.
Agent Start-Up (Live phase)
A VM may support a mechanism that allows agents to be started in the VM during the live
phase. The details of how this is supported,
are implementation specific. For example, a tool may use some platform specific mechanism,
or implementation specific API, to attach to the running VM, and request it start a given
agent.
If an agent is started during the live phase then its agent library
must export a start-up function
with the following prototype:
JNIEXPORT jint JNICALL
Agent_OnAttach(JavaVM* vm, char *options, void *reserved)
Or for a statically linked agent named 'L':
JNIEXPORT jint JNICALL
Agent_OnAttach_L(JavaVM* vm, char *options, void *reserved)
The VM will start the agent by calling this function.
It will be called in the context of a thread
that is attached to the VM. The first argument <vm> is the Java VM.
The <options> argument is the startup options provided to the agent.
<options> is encoded as a modified UTF-8
string.
If startup options were not provided, a zero length string is passed to
options. The lifespan of the options string is the
Agent_OnAttach or Agent_OnAttach_<agent-lib-name> call.
If needed beyond this time the string or parts of the string must be copied.
Note that some capabilities
may not be available in the live phase.
The Agent_OnAttach or Agent_OnAttach_<agent-lib-name
> function initializes the agent and returns a value
to the VM to indicate if an error occurred. Any value other than zero indicates an error.
An error does not cause the VM to terminate. Instead the VM ignores the error, or takes
some implementation specific action -- for example it might print an error to standard error,
or record the error in a system log.
Agent Shutdown
The library may optionally export a
shutdown function with the following prototype:
JNIEXPORT void JNICALL
Agent_OnUnload(JavaVM *vm)
Or for a statically linked agent named 'L':
JNIEXPORT void JNICALL
Agent_OnUnload_L(JavaVM *vm)
This function will be called by the VM when the library is about to be unloaded.
The library will be unloaded (unless it is statically linked into the
executable) and this function will be called if some platform specific
mechanism causes the unload (an unload mechanism is not specified in this document)
or the library is (in effect) unloaded by the termination of the VM whether through
normal termination or VM failure, including start-up failure.
Uncontrolled shutdown is, of course, an exception to this rule.
Note the distinction between this function and the
VM Death event: for the VM Death event
to be sent, the VM must have run at least to the point of initialization and a valid
JVM TI environment must exist which has set a callback for VMDeath
and enabled the event.
None of these are required for Agent_OnUnload or
Agent_OnUnload_<agent-lib-name> and this function
is also called if the library is unloaded for other reasons.
In the case that a VM Death event is sent, it will be sent before this
function is called (assuming this function is called due to VM termination).
This function can be used to clean-up resources allocated by the agent.
Since the command-line cannot always be accessed or modified, for example in embedded VMs
or simply VMs launched deep within scripts, a JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS variable is
provided so that agents may be launched in these cases.
Platforms which support environment variables or other named strings, may support the
JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS variable. This variable will be broken into options at white-space
boundaries. White-space characters include space, tab, carriage-return, new-line,
vertical-tab, and form-feed. Sequences of white-space characters are considered
equivalent to a single white-space character. No white-space is included in the options
unless quoted. Quoting is as follows:
- All characters enclosed between a pair of single quote marks (''), except a single
quote, are quoted.
- Double quote characters have no special meaning inside a pair of single quote marks.
- All characters enclosed between a pair of double quote marks (""), except a double
quote, are quoted.
- Single quote characters have no special meaning inside a pair of double quote marks.
- A quoted part can start or end anywhere in the variable.
- White-space characters have no special meaning when quoted -- they are included in
the option like any other character and do not mark white-space boundaries.
- The pair of quote marks is not included in the option.
JNI_CreateJavaVM (in the JNI Invocation API) will prepend these options to the options supplied
in its JavaVMInitArgs argument. Platforms may disable this feature in cases where security is
a concern; for example, the Reference Implementation disables this feature on Unix systems when
the effective user or group ID differs from the real ID.
This feature is intended to support the initialization of tools -- specifically including the
launching of native or Java programming language agents. Multiple tools may wish to use this
feature, so the variable should not be overwritten, instead, options should be appended to
the variable. Note that since the variable is processed at the time of the JNI Invocation
API create VM call, options processed by a launcher (e.g., VM selection options) will not be handled.
Environments
The JVM TI specification supports the use of multiple simultaneous
JVM TI agents.
Each agent has its own JVM TI environment.
That is, the JVM TI state is
separate for each agent - changes to one environment do not affect the
others. The state of a JVM TI
environment includes:
Although their JVM TI state
is separate, agents inspect and modify the shared state
of the VM, they also share the native environment in which they execute.
As such, an agent can perturb the results of other agents or cause them
to fail. It is the responsibility of the agent writer to specify the level
of compatibility with other agents. JVM TI implementations are not capable
of preventing destructive interactions between agents. Techniques to reduce
the likelihood of these occurrences are beyond the scope of this document.
An agent creates a JVM TI environment
by passing a JVM TI version
as the interface ID to the JNI Invocation API function
GetEnv.
See Accessing JVM TI Functions
for more details on the creation and use of
JVM TI environments.
Typically, JVM TI environments are created by calling GetEnv from
Agent_OnLoad.
Bytecode Instrumentation
This interface does not include some events that one might expect in an interface with
profiling support. Some examples include full speed
method enter and exit events. The interface instead provides support for
bytecode instrumentation, the ability to alter the Java virtual machine
bytecode instructions which comprise the target program. Typically, these alterations
are to add "events" to the code of a method - for example, to add, at the beginning of a method,
a call to MyProfiler.methodEntered().
Since the changes are purely additive, they do not modify application
state or behavior.
Because the inserted agent code is standard bytecodes, the VM can run at full speed,
optimizing not only the target program but also the instrumentation. If the
instrumentation does not involve switching from bytecode execution, no expensive
state transitions are needed. The result is high performance events.
This approach also provides complete control to the agent: instrumentation can be
restricted to "interesting" portions of the code (e.g., the end user's code) and
can be conditional. Instrumentation can run entirely in Java programming language
code or can call into the native agent. Instrumentation can simply maintain
counters or can statistically sample events.
Instrumentation can be inserted in one of three ways:
-
Static Instrumentation: The class file is instrumented before it
is loaded into the VM - for example, by creating a duplicate directory of
*.class files which have been modified to add the instrumentation.
This method is extremely awkward and, in general, an agent cannot know
the origin of the class files which will be loaded.
-
Load-Time Instrumentation: When a class file is loaded by the VM, the raw
bytes of the class file are sent for instrumentation to the agent.
The
ClassFileLoadHook
event, triggered by the class load,
provides this functionality. This mechanism provides efficient
and complete access to one-time instrumentation.
-
Dynamic Instrumentation: A class which is already loaded (and possibly
even running) is modified. This optional feature is provided by the
ClassFileLoadHook event, triggered by calling the
RetransformClasses function.
Classes can be modified multiple times and can be returned to their
original state.
The mechanism allows instrumentation which changes during the
course of execution.
The class modification functionality provided in this interface
is intended to provide a mechanism for instrumentation
(the ClassFileLoadHook event
and the RetransformClasses function)
and, during development, for fix-and-continue debugging
(the RedefineClasses function).
Care must be taken to avoid perturbing dependencies, especially when
instrumenting core classes. For example, an approach to getting notification
of every object allocation is to instrument the constructor on
Object. Assuming that the constructor is initially
empty, the constructor could be changed to:
public Object() {
MyProfiler.allocationTracker(this);
}
However, if this change was made using the
ClassFileLoadHook
event then this might impact a typical VM as follows:
the first created object will call the constructor causing a class load of
MyProfiler; which will then cause
object creation, and since MyProfiler isn't loaded yet,
infinite recursion; resulting in a stack overflow. A refinement of this
would be to delay invoking the tracking method until a safe time. For
example, trackAllocations could be set in the
handler for the VMInit event.
static boolean trackAllocations = false;
public Object() {
if (trackAllocations) {
MyProfiler.allocationTracker(this);
}
}
The SetNativeMethodPrefix allows native methods
to be instrumented by the use of wrapper methods.
Bytecode Instrumentation of code in modules
Agents can use the functions AddModuleReads,
AddModuleExports, AddModuleOpens,
AddModuleUses and AddModuleProvides
to update a module to expand the set of modules that it reads, the set of
packages that it exports or opens to other modules, or the services that it
uses and provides.
As an aid to agents that deploy supporting classes on the search path of
the bootstrap class loader, or the search path of the class loader that
loads the main class, the Java virtual machine arranges for the module
of classes transformed by the ClassFileLoadHook event to
read the unnamed module of both class loaders.
Modified UTF-8 String Encoding
JVM TI uses modified UTF-8 to encode character strings.
This is the same encoding used by JNI.
Modified UTF-8 differs
from standard UTF-8 in the representation of supplementary characters
and of the null character. See the
Modified UTF-8 Strings
section of the JNI specification for details.
Specification Context
Since this interface provides access to the state of applications running in the
Java virtual machine;
terminology refers to the Java platform and not the native
platform (unless stated otherwise). For example:
- "thread" means Java programming language thread.
- "stack frame" means Java virtual machine stack frame.
- "class" means Java programming language class.
- "heap" means Java virtual machine heap.
- "monitor" means Java programming language object monitor.

Functions
Accessing Functions
Native code accesses JVM TI features
by calling JVM TI functions.
Access to JVM TI functions is by use of an interface pointer
in the same manner as
Java
Native Interface (JNI) functions are accessed.
The JVM TI interface pointer is called the
environment pointer.
An environment pointer is a pointer to an environment and has
the type jvmtiEnv*.
An environment has information about its JVM TI connection.
The first value in the environment is a pointer to the function table.
The function table is an array of pointers to JVM TI functions.
Every function pointer is at a predefined offset inside the
array.
When used from the C language:
double indirection is used to access the functions;
the environment pointer provides context and is the first
parameter of each function call; for example:
jvmtiEnv *jvmti;
...
jvmtiError err = (*jvmti)->GetLoadedClasses(jvmti, &class_count, &classes);
When used from the C++ language:
functions are accessed as member functions of jvmtiEnv;
the environment pointer is not passed to the function call; for example:
jvmtiEnv *jvmti;
...
jvmtiError err = jvmti->GetLoadedClasses(&class_count, &classes);
Unless otherwise stated, all examples and declarations in this
specification use the C language.
A JVM TI environment can be obtained through the JNI Invocation API
GetEnv function:
jvmtiEnv *jvmti;
...
(*jvm)->GetEnv(jvm, &jvmti, JVMTI_VERSION_1_0);
Each call to GetEnv
creates a new JVM TI connection and thus
a new JVM TI environment.
The version argument of GetEnv must be
a JVM TI version.
The returned environment may have a different version than the
requested version but the returned environment must be compatible.
GetEnv will return JNI_EVERSION if a
compatible version is not available, if JVM TI is not supported or
JVM TI is not supported in the current VM configuration.
Other interfaces may be added for creating JVM TI environments
in specific contexts.
Each environment has its own state (for example,
desired events,
event handling functions, and
capabilities).
An environment is released with
DisposeEnvironment.
Thus, unlike JNI which has one environment per thread, JVM TI environments work
across threads and are created dynamically.
Function Return Values
JVM TI functions always return an
error code via the
jvmtiError function return value.
Some functions can return additional
values through pointers provided by the calling function.
In some cases, JVM TI functions allocate memory that your program must
explicitly deallocate. This is indicated in the individual JVM TI
function descriptions. Empty lists, arrays, sequences, etc are
returned as NULL.
In the event that the JVM TI function encounters
an error (any return value other than JVMTI_ERROR_NONE) the values
of memory referenced by argument pointers is undefined, but no memory
will have been allocated and no global references will have been allocated.
If the error occurs because of invalid input, no action will have occurred.
Managing JNI Object References
JVM TI functions identify objects with JNI references
(jobject and jclass)
and their derivatives
(jthread and jthreadGroup).
References passed to
JVM TI functions can be either global or local, but they must be
strong references. All references returned by JVM TI functions are
local references--these local references are created
during the JVM TI call.
Local references are a resource that must be managed (see the
JNI Documentation).
When threads return from native code all local references
are freed. Note that some threads, including typical
agent threads, will never return from native code.
A thread is ensured the ability to create sixteen local
references without the need for any explicit management.
For threads executing a limited number of JVM TI calls before
returning from native code
(for example, threads processing events),
it may be determined that no explicit management
is needed.
However, long running agent threads will need explicit
local reference management--usually with the JNI functions
PushLocalFrame and PopLocalFrame.
Conversely, to preserve references beyond the
return from native code, they must be converted to global references.
These rules do not apply to jmethodID and jfieldID
as they are not jobjects.
Prerequisite State for Calling Functions
Unless the function explicitly states that the agent must bring
a thread or the VM to a particular state (for example, suspended),
the JVM TI implementation is responsible for bringing the VM to a
safe and consistent state for performing the function.
Exceptions and Functions
JVM TI functions never throw exceptions; error conditions are
communicated via the
function return value.
Any existing exception state is preserved across a call to a
JVM TI function.
See the
Java Exceptions
section of the JNI specification for information on handling exceptions.

Memory Management
Memory Management functions:
These functions provide for the allocation and deallocation of
memory used by JVM TI functionality and can be used to provide
working memory for agents.
Memory managed by JVM TI is not compatible with other memory
allocation libraries and mechanisms.
Allocate
jvmtiError
Allocate(jvmtiEnv* env,
jlong size,
unsigned char** mem_ptr)
Allocate an area of memory through the JVM TI allocator.
The allocated
memory should be freed with Deallocate.
|
Name

Description
|
size | jlong |
The number of bytes to allocate.
Rationale:
jlong is used for compatibility with JVMDI.
|
mem_ptr | unsigned char** |
On return, a pointer to the beginning of the allocated memory.
If size is zero, NULL is returned.
Agent passes a pointer to a unsigned char*. On return, the unsigned char* points to a newly allocated array of size size. The array should be freed with Deallocate. |
Deallocate
jvmtiError
Deallocate(jvmtiEnv* env,
unsigned char* mem)
Deallocate mem using the JVM TI allocator.
This function should
be used to deallocate any memory allocated and returned
by a JVM TI function
(including memory allocated with Allocate).
All allocated memory must be deallocated
or the memory cannot be reclaimed.

Rules
There can be no more than one answer to a question, although there can be no
answer (because the answer is unknown, does not apply, or none of the answers is
correct). An answer is set only when the enclosing answers match.
That is, no more than one of
-
JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_RUNNABLE
-
JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_BLOCKED_ON_MONITOR_ENTER
-
JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_WAITING
can be set (a J2SETM compliant implementation will always set
one of these if JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_ALIVE is set).
And if any of these are set, the enclosing answer
JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_ALIVE is set.
No more than one of
-
JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_WAITING_INDEFINITELY
-
JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_WAITING_WITH_TIMEOUT
can be set (a J2SETM compliant implementation will always set
one of these if JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_WAITING is set).
And if either is set, the enclosing answers
JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_ALIVE and
JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_WAITING are set.
No more than one of
-
JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_IN_OBJECT_WAIT
-
JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_PARKED
-
JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_SLEEPING
can be set. And if any of these is set, the enclosing answers
JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_ALIVE and
JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_WAITING are set.
Also, if JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_SLEEPING is set,
then JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_WAITING_WITH_TIMEOUT is set.
If a state A is implemented using the mechanism of
state B then it is state A which
is returned by this function.
For example, if Thread.sleep(long)
is implemented using Object.wait(long)
then it is still JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_SLEEPING
which is returned.
More than one of
-
JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_SUSPENDED
-
JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_INTERRUPTED
-
JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_IN_NATIVE
can be set, but if any is set,
JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_ALIVE is set.
And finally,
JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_TERMINATED cannot be set unless
JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_ALIVE is not set.
The thread state representation is designed for extension in future versions
of the specification; thread state values should be used accordingly, that is
they should not be used as ordinals.
Most queries can be made by testing a single bit, if use in a switch statement is desired,
the state bits should be masked with the interesting bits.
All bits not defined above are reserved for future use.
A VM, compliant to the current specification, must set reserved bits to zero.
An agent should ignore reserved bits --
they should not be assumed to be zero and thus should not be included in comparisons.
Examples
Note that the values below exclude reserved and vendor bits.
The state of a thread blocked at a synchronized-statement would be:
JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_ALIVE + JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_BLOCKED_ON_MONITOR_ENTER
The state of a thread which hasn't started yet would be:
0
The state of a thread at a Object.wait(3000) would be:
JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_ALIVE + JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_WAITING +
JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_WAITING_WITH_TIMEOUT +
JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_MONITOR_WAITING
The state of a thread suspended while runnable would be:
JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_ALIVE + JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_RUNNABLE + JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_SUSPENDED
Testing the State
In most cases, the thread state can be determined by testing the one bit corresponding
to that question. For example, the code to test if a thread is sleeping:
jint state;
jvmtiError err;
err = (*jvmti)->GetThreadState(jvmti, thread, &state);
if (err == JVMTI_ERROR_NONE) {
if (state & JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_SLEEPING) { ...
For waiting (that is, in Object.wait, parked, or sleeping) it would be:
if (state & JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_WAITING) { ...
For some states, more than one bit will need to be tested as is the case
when testing if a thread has not yet been started:
if ((state & (JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_ALIVE | JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_TERMINATED)) == 0) { ...
To distinguish timed from untimed Object.wait:
if (state & JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_IN_OBJECT_WAIT) {
if (state & JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_WAITING_WITH_TIMEOUT) {
printf("in Object.wait(long timeout)\n");
} else {
printf("in Object.wait()\n");
}
}
Relationship to java.lang.Thread.State
The thread state represented by java.lang.Thread.State
returned from java.lang.Thread.getState() is a subset of the
information returned from this function.
The corresponding java.lang.Thread.State can be determined
by using the provided conversion masks.
For example, this returns the name of the java.lang.Thread.State thread state:
err = (*jvmti)->GetThreadState(jvmti, thread, &state);
abortOnError(err);
switch (state & JVMTI_JAVA_LANG_THREAD_STATE_MASK) {
case JVMTI_JAVA_LANG_THREAD_STATE_NEW:
return "NEW";
case JVMTI_JAVA_LANG_THREAD_STATE_TERMINATED:
return "TERMINATED";
case JVMTI_JAVA_LANG_THREAD_STATE_RUNNABLE:
return "RUNNABLE";
case JVMTI_JAVA_LANG_THREAD_STATE_BLOCKED:
return "BLOCKED";
case JVMTI_JAVA_LANG_THREAD_STATE_WAITING:
return "WAITING";
case JVMTI_JAVA_LANG_THREAD_STATE_TIMED_WAITING:
return "TIMED_WAITING";

jint priority)
Starts the execution of an agent thread. with the specified native function.
The parameter arg is forwarded on to the
start function
(specified with proc) as its single argument.
This function allows the creation of agent threads
for handling communication with another process or for handling events
without the need to load a special subclass of java.lang.Thread or
implementer of java.lang.Runnable.
Instead, the created thread can run entirely in native code.
However, the created thread does require a newly created instance
of java.lang.Thread (referenced by the argument thread) to
which it will be associated.
The thread object can be created with JNI calls.
The following common thread priorities are provided for your convenience:
|

JVMTI_THREAD_MAX_PRIORITY | 10 |
Maximum possible thread priority
|
The new thread is started as a daemon thread with the specified
priority.
If enabled, a ThreadStart event will be sent.
Since the thread has been started, the thread will be live when this function
returns, unless the thread has died immediately.
The thread group of the thread is ignored -- specifically, the thread is not
added to the thread group and the thread is not seen on queries of the thread
group at either the Java programming language or JVM TI levels.
The thread is not visible to Java programming language queries but is
included in JVM TI queries (for example,
GetAllThreads and
GetAllStackTraces).
Upon execution of proc, the new thread will be attached to the
VM -- see the JNI documentation on
Attaching to the VM.

Stack Frame
Stack Frame functions:
Stack Frame types:
These functions provide information about the stack of a thread.
Stack frames are referenced by depth.
The frame at depth zero is the current frame.
Stack frames are as described in
The Java™ Virtual Machine Specification, Chapter 3.6,
That is, they correspond to method
invocations (including native methods) but do not correspond to platform native or
VM internal frames.
A JVM TI implementation may use method invocations to launch a thread and
the corresponding frames may be included in the stack as presented by these functions --
that is, there may be frames shown
deeper than main() and run().
However this presentation must be consistent across all JVM TI functionality which
uses stack frames or stack depth.

Get Stack Trace
jvmtiError
GetStackTrace(jvmtiEnv* env,
jthread thread,
jint start_depth,
jint max_frame_count,
jvmtiFrameInfo* frame_buffer,
jint* count_ptr)
Get information about the stack of a thread.
If max_frame_count is less than the depth of the stack,
the max_frame_count topmost frames are returned,
otherwise the entire stack is returned.
The topmost frames, those most recently invoked, are at the beginning of the returned buffer.
The following example causes up to five of the topmost frames
to be returned and (if there are any frames) the currently
executing method name to be printed.
jvmtiFrameInfo frames[5];
jint count;
jvmtiError err;
err = (*jvmti)->GetStackTrace(jvmti, aThread, 0, 5,
frames, &count);
if (err == JVMTI_ERROR_NONE && count >= 1) {
char *methodName;
err = (*jvmti)->GetMethodName(jvmti, frames[0].method,
&methodName, NULL, NULL);
if (err == JVMTI_ERROR_NONE) {
printf("Executing method: %s", methodName);
}
}
The thread need not be suspended
to call this function.
The GetLineNumberTable
function can be used to map locations to line numbers. Note that
this mapping can be done lazily.

thread | jthread |
Fetch the stack trace of this thread.
If
thread
is
NULL, the current thread is used.
|
start_depth | jint |
Begin retrieving frames at this depth.
If non-negative, count from the current frame,
the first frame retrieved is at depth start_depth.
For example, if zero, start from the current frame; if one, start from the
caller of the current frame; if two, start from the caller of the
caller of the current frame; and so on.
If negative, count from below the oldest frame,
the first frame retrieved is at depth stackDepth + start_depth,
where stackDepth is the count of frames on the stack.
For example, if negative one, only the oldest frame is retrieved;
if negative two, start from the frame called by the oldest frame.

On return, this agent allocated buffer is filled
with stack frame information.
Agent passes an array large enough to hold max_frame_count elements of jvmtiFrameInfo. The incoming values of the elements of the array are ignored. On return, *count_ptr of the elements are set. |
count_ptr | jint* |
On return, points to the number of records filled in.
For non-negative start_depth, this will be
min(max_frame_count, stackDepth - start_depth).
For negative start_depth, this will be
min(max_frame_count, -start_depth).
Agent passes a pointer to a jint. On return, the jint has been set. |
Get All Stack Traces
jvmtiError
GetAllStackTraces(jvmtiEnv* env,

Get information about the stacks of all live threads
(including agent threads).
If max_frame_count is less than the depth of a stack,
the max_frame_count topmost frames are returned for that thread,
otherwise the entire stack is returned.
The topmost frames, those most recently invoked, are at the beginning of the returned buffer.
All stacks are collected simultaneously, that is, no changes will occur to the
thread state or stacks between the sampling of one thread and the next.
The threads need not be suspended.

On return, this buffer is filled
with stack information for each thread.
The number of jvmtiStackInfo records is determined
by thread_count_ptr.
Note that this buffer is allocated to include the jvmtiFrameInfo
buffers pointed to by jvmtiStackInfo.frame_buffer.
These buffers must not be separately deallocated.
Agent passes a pointer to a jvmtiStackInfo*. On return, the jvmtiStackInfo* points to a newly allocated array. The array should be freed with Deallocate. The objects returned in the field thread of jvmtiStackInfo are JNI local references and must be managed.

The number of threads traced.
Agent passes a pointer to a jint. On return, the jint has been set. |
Get Thread List Stack Traces
jvmtiError
GetThreadListStackTraces(jvmtiEnv* env,
jint thread_count,
const jthread* thread_list,
jint max_frame_count,
jvmtiStackInfo** stack_info_ptr)
Get information about the stacks of the supplied threads.
If max_frame_count is less than the depth of a stack,
the max_frame_count topmost frames are returned for that thread,
otherwise the entire stack is returned.
The topmost frames, those most recently invoked, are at the beginning of the returned buffer.
All stacks are collected simultaneously, that is, no changes will occur to the
thread state or stacks between the sampling one thread and the next.
The threads need not be suspended.
If a thread has not yet started or terminates before the stack information is collected,
a zero length stack (jvmtiStackInfo.frame_count will be zero)
will be returned and the thread jvmtiStackInfo.state can be checked.

Get Frame Count
jvmtiError
GetFrameCount(jvmtiEnv* env,
jthread thread,

Pop Frame
jvmtiError
PopFrame(jvmtiEnv* env,
jthread thread)
Pop the current frame of thread's stack.
Popping a frame takes you to the previous frame.
When the thread is resumed, the execution
state of the thread is reset to the state
immediately before the called method was invoked.
That is (using The Java™ Virtual Machine Specification terminology):
- the current frame is discarded as the previous frame becomes the current one
-
the operand stack is restored--the argument values are added back
and if the invoke was not
invokestatic,
objectref is added back as well
- the Java virtual machine PC is restored to the opcode
of the invoke instruction
Note however, that any changes to the arguments, which
occurred in the called method, remain;
when execution continues, the first instruction to
execute will be the invoke.
Between calling PopFrame and resuming the
thread the state of the stack is undefined.
To pop frames beyond the first,
these three steps must be repeated:
- suspend the thread via an event (step, breakpoint, ...)
-
call
PopFrame
- resume the thread
A lock acquired by calling the called method
(if it is a synchronized method)
and locks acquired by entering synchronized
blocks within the called method are released.
Note: this does not apply to native locks or
java.util.concurrent.locks locks.
Finally blocks are not executed.
Changes to global state are not addressed and thus remain changed.
The specified thread must be suspended (which implies it cannot be the current thread).
Both the called method and calling method must be non-native Java programming
language methods.
No JVM TI events are generated by this function.
Optional Functionality: might not be implemented for all
virtual machines.
The following capability
(as returned by
GetCapabilities)

Force Early Return
Force Early Return functions:
These functions allow an agent to force a method
to return at any point during its execution.
The method which will return early is referred to as the called method.
The called method is the current method
(as defined by
The Java™ Virtual Machine Specification, Chapter 3.6)
for the specified thread at
the time the function is called.
The specified thread must be suspended or must be the current thread.
The return occurs when execution of Java programming
language code is resumed on this thread.
Between calling one of these functions and resumption
of thread execution, the state of the stack is undefined.
No further instructions are executed in the called method.
Specifically, finally blocks are not executed.
Note: this can cause inconsistent states in the application.
A lock acquired by calling the called method
(if it is a synchronized method)
and locks acquired by entering synchronized
blocks within the called method are released.
Note: this does not apply to native locks or
java.util.concurrent.locks locks.
Events, such as MethodExit,
are generated as they would be in a normal return.
The called method must be a non-native Java programming
language method.
Forcing return on a thread with only one frame on the
stack causes the thread to exit when resumed.

Heap
Heap functions:
Heap function types:
Heap types:
Heap flags and constants:
These functions are used to analyze the heap.
Functionality includes the ability to view the objects in the
heap and to tag these objects.
A tag is a value associated with an object.
Tags are explicitly set by the agent using the
SetTag function or by
callback functions such as jvmtiHeapIterationCallback.
Tags are local to the environment; that is, the tags of one
environment are not visible in another.
Tags are jlong values which can be used
simply to mark an object or to store a pointer to more detailed
information. Objects which have not been tagged have a
tag of zero.
Setting a tag to zero makes the object untagged.
Heap Callback Functions
Heap functions which iterate through the heap and recursively
follow object references use agent supplied callback functions
to deliver the information.
These heap callback functions must adhere to the following restrictions --
These callbacks must not use JNI functions.
These callbacks must not use JVM TI functions except
callback safe functions which
specifically allow such use (see the raw monitor, memory management,
and environment local storage functions).
An implementation may invoke a callback on an internal thread or
the thread which called the iteration function.
Heap callbacks are single threaded -- no more than one callback will
be invoked at a time.
The Heap Filter Flags can be used to prevent reporting
based on the tag status of an object or its class.
If no flags are set (the jint is zero), objects
will not be filtered out.

Field
|
Type
|
Description
|
index | jint |
For JVMTI_HEAP_REFERENCE_FIELD, the
referrer object is not a class or an interface.
In this case, index is the index of the field
in the class of the referrer object.
This class is referred to below as C.
For JVMTI_HEAP_REFERENCE_STATIC_FIELD,
the referrer object is a class (referred to below as C)
or an interface (referred to below as I).
In this case, index is the index of the field in
that class or interface.
If the referrer object is not an interface, then the field
indices are determined as follows:
-
make a list of all the fields in C and its
superclasses, starting with all the fields in
java.lang.Object and ending with all the
fields in C.
-
Within this list, put
the fields for a given class in the order returned by
GetClassFields.
-
Assign the fields in this list indices
n, n+1, ..., in order, where n
is the count of the fields in all the interfaces
implemented by C.
Note that C implements all interfaces
directly implemented by its superclasses; as well
as all superinterfaces of these interfaces.
If the referrer object is an interface, then the field
indices are determined as follows:
-
make a list of the fields directly declared in
I.
-
Within this list, put
the fields in the order returned by
GetClassFields.
-
Assign the fields in this list indices
n, n+1, ..., in order, where n
is the count of the fields in all the superinterfaces
of I.
All fields are included in this computation, regardless of
field modifier (static, public, private, etc).
For example, given the following classes and interfaces:
interface I0 {
int p = 0;
}
interface I1 extends I0 {
int x = 1;
}
interface I2 extends I0 {
int y = 2;
}
class C1 implements I1 {
public static int a = 3;
private int b = 4;
}
class C2 extends C1 implements I2 {
static int q = 5;
final int r = 6;
}
Assume that GetClassFields called on
C1 returns the fields of C1 in the
order: a, b; and that the fields of C2 are
returned in the order: q, r.
An instance of class C1 will have the
following field indices:
|
a
|
2
|
The count of the fields in the interfaces
implemented by C1 is two (n=2):
p of I0
and x of I1.
|
|
b
|
3
|
the subsequent index.
|
The class C1 will have the same field indices.
An instance of class C2 will have the
following field indices:
|
a
|
3
|
The count of the fields in the interfaces
implemented by C2 is three (n=3):
p of I0,
x of I1 and y of I2
(an interface of C2). Note that the field p
of I0 is only included once.
|
|
b
|
4
|
the subsequent index to "a".
|
|
q
|
5
|
the subsequent index to "b".
|
|
r
|
6
|
the subsequent index to "q".
|
The class C2 will have the same field indices.
Note that a field may have a different index depending on the
object that is viewing it -- for example field "a" above.
Note also: not all field indices may be visible from the
callbacks, but all indices are shown for illustrative purposes.
The interface I1 will have the
following field indices:
|
x
|
1
|
The count of the fields in the superinterfaces
of I1 is one (n=1):
p of I0.

Rationale:
The heap dumping functionality (below) uses a callback
for each object. While it would seem that a buffered approach
would provide better throughput, tests do
not show this to be the case--possibly due to locality of
memory reference or array access overhead.
Heap Iteration Callback
typedef jint (JNICALL *jvmtiHeapIterationCallback)
(jlong class_tag,

Follow References
jvmtiError
FollowReferences(jvmtiEnv* env,
jint heap_filter,
jclass klass,
jobject initial_object,
const jvmtiHeapCallbacks* callbacks,
const void* user_data)
This function initiates a traversal over the objects that are
directly and indirectly reachable from the specified object or,
if initial_object is not specified, all objects
reachable from the heap roots.
The heap root are the set of system classes,
JNI globals, references from thread stacks, and other objects used as roots
for the purposes of garbage collection.
This function operates by traversing the reference graph.
Let A, B, ... represent objects.
When a reference from A to B is traversed,
when a reference from a heap root to B is traversed,
or when B is specified as the initial_object,
then B is said to be visited.
A reference from A to B is not traversed until A
is visited.
References are reported in the same order that the references are traversed.
Object references are reported by invoking the agent supplied
callback function jvmtiHeapReferenceCallback.
In a reference from A to B, A is known
as the referrer and B as the referree.
The callback is invoked exactly once for each reference from a referrer;
this is true even if there are reference cycles or multiple paths to
the referrer.
There may be more than one reference between a referrer and a referree,
each reference is reported.
These references may be distinguished by examining the
reference_kind
and
reference_info
parameters of the jvmtiHeapReferenceCallback callback.
This function reports a Java programming language view of object references,
not a virtual machine implementation view. The following object references
are reported when they are non-null:
- Instance objects report references to each non-primitive instance fields
(including inherited fields).
- Instance objects report a reference to the object type (class).
- Classes report a reference to the superclass and directly
implemented/extended interfaces.
- Classes report a reference to the class loader, protection domain,
signers, and resolved entries in the constant pool.
- Classes report a reference to each directly declared non-primitive
static field.
- Arrays report a reference to the array type (class) and each
array element.
- Primitive arrays report a reference to the array type.
This function can also be used to examine primitive (non-object) values.
The primitive value of an array or String
is reported after the object has been visited;
it is reported by invoking the agent supplied callback function
jvmtiArrayPrimitiveValueCallback or
jvmtiStringPrimitiveValueCallback.
A primitive field
is reported after the object with that field is visited;
it is reported by invoking the agent supplied callback function
jvmtiPrimitiveFieldCallback.
Whether a callback is provided or is NULL only determines
whether the callback will be invoked, it does not influence
which objects are visited nor does it influence whether other callbacks
will be invoked.
However, the
visit control flags
returned by jvmtiHeapReferenceCallback
do determine if the objects referenced by the
current object as visited.
The heap filter flags
and klass provided as parameters to this function
do not control which objects are visited but they do control which
objects and primitive values are reported by the callbacks.
For example, if the only callback that was set is
array_primitive_value_callback and klass
is set to the array of bytes class, then only arrays of byte will be
reported.
The table below summarizes this:
During the execution of this function the state of the heap
does not change: no objects are allocated, no objects are
garbage collected, and the state of objects (including
held values) does not change.
As a result, threads executing Java
programming language code, threads attempting to resume the
execution of Java programming language code, and threads
attempting to execute JNI functions are typically stalled.

virtual machines.

Iterate Through Heap
jvmtiError
IterateThroughHeap(jvmtiEnv* env,
jint heap_filter,
jclass klass,
const jvmtiHeapCallbacks* callbacks,
const void* user_data)
Initiate an iteration over all objects in the heap.
This includes both reachable and
unreachable objects. Objects are visited in no particular order.
Heap objects are reported by invoking the agent supplied
callback function jvmtiHeapIterationCallback.
References between objects are not reported.
If only reachable objects are desired, or if object reference information
is needed, use FollowReferences.
This function can also be used to examine primitive (non-object) values.
The primitive value of an array or String
is reported after the object has been visited;
it is reported by invoking the agent supplied callback function
jvmtiArrayPrimitiveValueCallback or
jvmtiStringPrimitiveValueCallback.
A primitive field
is reported after the object with that field is visited;
it is reported by invoking the agent supplied
callback function
jvmtiPrimitiveFieldCallback.
Unless the iteration is aborted by the
Heap Visit Control Flags
returned by a callback, all objects in the heap are visited.
Whether a callback is provided or is NULL only determines
whether the callback will be invoked, it does not influence
which objects are visited nor does it influence whether other callbacks
will be invoked.
The heap filter flags
and klass provided as parameters to this function
do not control which objects are visited but they do control which
objects and primitive values are reported by the callbacks.
For example, if the only callback that was set is
array_primitive_value_callback and klass
is set to the array of bytes class, then only arrays of byte will be
reported. The table below summarizes this (contrast this with

JVMTI_REFERENCE_FIELD | 2 |
Reference from an object to the value of one of its instance fields.
For references of this kind the referrer_index
parameter to the
jvmtiObjectReferenceCallback is the index of the
the instance field. The index is based on the order of all the
object's fields. This includes all fields of the directly declared
static and instance fields in the class, and includes all fields (both
public and private) fields declared in superclasses and superinterfaces.
The index is thus calculated by summing the index of the field in the directly
declared class (see GetClassFields), with the total
number of fields (both public and private) declared in all superclasses
and superinterfaces. The index starts at zero.

JVMTI_REFERENCE_STATIC_FIELD | 8 |
Reference from a class to the value of one of its static fields.
For references of this kind the referrer_index
parameter to the
jvmtiObjectReferenceCallback is the index of the
the static field. The index is based on the order of all the
object's fields. This includes all fields of the directly declared
static and instance fields in the class, and includes all fields (both
public and private) fields declared in superclasses and superinterfaces.
The index is thus calculated by summing the index of the field in the directly
declared class (see GetClassFields), with the total
number of fields (both public and private) declared in all superclasses

Iterate Over Objects Reachable From Object
jvmtiError
IterateOverObjectsReachableFromObject(jvmtiEnv* env,
jobject object,
jvmtiObjectReferenceCallback object_reference_callback,
const void* user_data)
This function iterates over all objects that are directly
and indirectly reachable from the specified object.
For each object A (known
as the referrer) with a reference to object B the specified
callback function is called to describe the object reference.
The callback is called exactly once for each reference from a referrer;
this is true even if there are reference cycles or multiple paths to
the referrer.
There may be more than one reference between a referrer and a referree,
These may be distinguished by the
jvmtiObjectReferenceCallback.reference_kind and
jvmtiObjectReferenceCallback.referrer_index.
The callback for an object will always occur after the callback for
its referrer.
See FollowReferences for the object
references which are reported.
During the execution of this function the state of the heap
does not change: no objects are allocated, no objects are
garbage collected, and the state of objects (including
held values) does not change.
As a result, threads executing Java
programming language code, threads attempting to resume the
execution of Java programming language code, and threads
attempting to execute JNI functions are typically stalled.
Optional Functionality: might not be implemented for all

Iterate Over Reachable Objects

IterateOverReachableObjects(jvmtiEnv* env,
jvmtiHeapRootCallback heap_root_callback,
jvmtiStackReferenceCallback stack_ref_callback,
jvmtiObjectReferenceCallback object_ref_callback,
const void* user_data)
This function iterates over the root objects and all objects that
are directly and indirectly reachable from the root objects.
The root objects comprise the set of system classes,
JNI globals, references from thread stacks, and other objects used as roots
for the purposes of garbage collection.
For each root the heap_root_callback
or stack_ref_callback callback is called.
An object can be a root object for more than one reason and in that case
the appropriate callback is called for each reason.
For each object reference the object_ref_callback
callback function is called to describe the object reference.
The callback is called exactly once for each reference from a referrer;
this is true even if there are reference cycles or multiple paths to
the referrer.
There may be more than one reference between a referrer and a referree,
These may be distinguished by the
jvmtiObjectReferenceCallback.reference_kind and
jvmtiObjectReferenceCallback.referrer_index.
The callback for an object will always occur after the callback for
its referrer.
See FollowReferences for the object
references which are reported.
Roots are always reported to the profiler before any object references
are reported. In other words, the object_ref_callback
callback will not be called until the appropriate callback has been called
for all roots. If the object_ref_callback callback is
specified as NULL then this function returns after
reporting the root objects to the profiler.
During the execution of this function the state of the heap
does not change: no objects are allocated, no objects are
garbage collected, and the state of objects (including
held values) does not change.
As a result, threads executing Java
programming language code, threads attempting to resume the

Iterate over all objects in the heap. This includes both reachable and
unreachable objects.
The object_filter parameter indicates the
objects for which the callback function is called. If this parameter
is JVMTI_HEAP_OBJECT_TAGGED then the callback will only be
called for every object that is tagged. If the parameter is
JVMTI_HEAP_OBJECT_UNTAGGED then the callback will only be
for objects that are not tagged. If the parameter
is JVMTI_HEAP_OBJECT_EITHER then the callback will be

For the class indicated by klass,
return the raw bytes of the constant pool in the format of the
constant_pool item of
The Java™ Virtual Machine Specification, Chapter 4.
The format of the constant pool may differ between versions
of the Class File Format, so, the
minor and major
class version numbers should be checked for
compatibility.
The returned constant pool might not have the same layout or
contents as the constant pool in the defining class file.
The constant pool returned by GetConstantPool() may have
more or fewer entries than the defining constant pool.
Entries may be in a different order.
The constant pool returned by GetConstantPool() will match the
constant pool used by
GetBytecodes().
That is, the bytecodes returned by GetBytecodes() will have
constant pool indices which refer to constant pool entries returned
by GetConstantPool().
Note that since RetransformClasses
and RedefineClasses can change
the constant pool, the constant pool returned by this function
can change accordingly. Thus, the correspondence between
GetConstantPool() and GetBytecodes() does not hold if there
is an intervening class retransformation or redefinition.
The value of a constant pool entry used by a given bytecode will
match that of the defining class file (even if the indices don't match).
Constant pool entries which are not used directly or indirectly by
bytecodes (for example, UTF-8 strings associated with annotations) are
not required to exist in the returned constant pool.

Retransform Classes
jvmtiError
RetransformClasses(jvmtiEnv* env,
jint class_count,
const jclass* classes)
This function facilitates the
bytecode instrumentation
of already loaded classes.
To replace the class definition without reference to the existing
bytecodes, as one might do when recompiling from source for
fix-and-continue debugging, RedefineClasses
function should be used instead.
When classes are initially loaded or when they are
redefined,
the initial class file bytes can be transformed with the
ClassFileLoadHook event.
This function reruns the transformation process
(whether or not a transformation has previously occurred).
This retransformation follows these steps:
- starting from the initial class file bytes
-
for each retransformation
incapable
agent which received a
ClassFileLoadHook event during the previous
load or redefine, the bytes it returned
(via the new_class_data parameter)
are reused as the output of the transformation;
note that this is equivalent to reapplying
the previous transformation, unaltered. except that
the ClassFileLoadHook event
is not sent to these agents
-
for each retransformation
capable
agent, the
ClassFileLoadHook event is sent,
allowing a new transformation to be applied
- the transformed class file bytes are installed as the new
definition of the class
See the ClassFileLoadHook event for more details.
The initial class file bytes represent the bytes passed to
ClassLoader.defineClass
or RedefineClasses (before any transformations
were applied), however they may not exactly match them.
The constant pool may differ in ways described in
GetConstantPool.
Constant pool indices in the bytecodes of methods will correspond.
Some attributes may not be present.
Where order is not meaningful, for example the order of methods,
order may not be preserved.
Retransformation can cause new versions of methods to be installed.
Old method versions may become
obsolete
The new method version will be used on new invokes.
If a method has active stack frames, those active frames continue to
run the bytecodes of the original method version.
This function does not cause any initialization except that which
would occur under the customary JVM semantics.
In other words, retransforming a class does not cause its initializers to be
run. The values of static fields will remain as they were
prior to the call.
Threads need not be suspended.
All breakpoints in the class are cleared.
All attributes are updated.
Instances of the retransformed class are not affected -- fields retain their
previous values.
Tags on the instances are
also unaffected.
In response to this call, no events other than the
ClassFileLoadHook event
will be sent.
The retransformation may change method bodies, the constant pool and attributes
(unless explicitly prohibited).
The retransformation must not add, remove or rename fields or methods, change the
signatures of methods, change modifiers, or change inheritance.
The retransformation must not change the NestHost or
NestMembers attributes.
These restrictions may be lifted in future versions.
See the error return description below for information on error codes
returned if an unsupported retransformation is attempted.
The class file bytes are not verified or installed until they have passed
through the chain of ClassFileLoadHook events, thus the
returned error code reflects the result of the transformations.
If any error code is returned other than JVMTI_ERROR_NONE,
none of the classes to be retransformed will have a new definition installed.
When this function returns (with the error code of JVMTI_ERROR_NONE)
all of the classes to be retransformed will have their new definitions installed.
Optional Functionality: might not be implemented for all
virtual machines.
The following capability
(as returned by
GetCapabilities)
must be true to use this
function.
|
|
Capability
|
Effect
|
can_retransform_classes |
Can retransform classes with RetransformClasses.
In addition to the restrictions imposed by the specific
implementation on this capability (see the
Capability section),
this capability must be set before the
ClassFileLoadHook event is enabled for the
first time in this environment.
An environment that possesses this capability at the time that

Redefine Classes
typedef struct {
jclass klass;
jint class_byte_count;
const unsigned char* class_bytes;
} jvmtiClassDefinition;
jvmtiError
RedefineClasses(jvmtiEnv* env,
jint class_count,
const jvmtiClassDefinition* class_definitions)
All classes given are redefined according to the definitions
supplied.
This function is used to replace the definition of a class
with a new definition, as might be needed in fix-and-continue
debugging.
Where the existing class file bytes are to be transformed, for
example in
bytecode instrumentation,
RetransformClasses should be used.
Redefinition can cause new versions of methods to be installed.
Old method versions may become
obsolete
The new method version will be used on new invokes.
If a method has active stack frames, those active frames continue to
run the bytecodes of the original method version.
If resetting of stack frames is desired, use
PopFrame
to pop frames with obsolete method versions.
This function does not cause any initialization except that which
would occur under the customary JVM semantics.
In other words, redefining a class does not cause its initializers to be
run. The values of static fields will remain as they were
prior to the call.
Threads need not be suspended.
All breakpoints in the class are cleared.
All attributes are updated.
Instances of the redefined class are not affected -- fields retain their
previous values.
Tags on the instances are
also unaffected.
In response to this call, the JVM TI event
Class File Load Hook
will be sent (if enabled), but no other JVM TI events will be sent.
The redefinition may change method bodies, the constant pool and attributes
(unless explicitly prohibited).
The redefinition must not add, remove or rename fields or methods, change the
signatures of methods, change modifiers, or change inheritance.
The retransformation must not change the NestHost or
NestMembers attributes.
These restrictions may be lifted in future versions.
See the error return description below for information on error codes
returned if an unsupported redefinition is attempted.
The class file bytes are not verified or installed until they have passed
through the chain of ClassFileLoadHook events, thus the
returned error code reflects the result of the transformations applied
to the bytes passed into class_definitions.
If any error code is returned other than JVMTI_ERROR_NONE,
none of the classes to be redefined will have a new definition installed.
When this function returns (with the error code of JVMTI_ERROR_NONE)
all of the classes to be redefined will have their new definitions installed.

Obsolete Methods
The functions RetransformClasses and
RedefineClasses can cause new versions
of methods to be installed.
An original version of a method is considered equivalent
to the new version if:
- their bytecodes are the same except for indices into the
constant pool and
- the referenced constants are equal.
An original method version which is not equivalent to the
new method version is called obsolete and is assigned a new method ID;
the original method ID now refers to the new method version.

Set Native Method Prefix
jvmtiError
SetNativeMethodPrefix(jvmtiEnv* env,
const char* prefix)
This function modifies the failure handling of
native method resolution by allowing retry
with a prefix applied to the name.
When used with the
ClassFileLoadHook
event, it enables native methods to be
instrumented.
Since native methods cannot be directly instrumented
(they have no bytecodes), they must be wrapped with
a non-native method which can be instrumented.
For example, if we had:
native boolean foo(int x);
We could transform the class file (with the
ClassFileLoadHook event) so that this becomes:
boolean foo(int x) {
... record entry to foo ...
return wrapped_foo(x);
}
native boolean wrapped_foo(int x);
Where foo becomes a wrapper for the actual native method
with the appended prefix "wrapped_". Note that
"wrapped_" would be a poor choice of prefix since it
might conceivably form the name of an existing method
thus something like "$$$MyAgentWrapped$$$_" would be
better but would make these examples less readable.
The wrapper will allow data to be collected on the native
method call, but now the problem becomes linking up the
wrapped method with the native implementation.
That is, the method wrapped_foo needs to be
resolved to the native implementation of foo,
which might be:
Java_somePackage_someClass_foo(JNIEnv* env, jint x)
This function allows the prefix to be specified and the
proper resolution to occur.
Specifically, when the standard resolution fails, the
resolution is retried taking the prefix into consideration.
There are two ways that resolution occurs, explicit
resolution with the JNI function RegisterNatives
and the normal automatic resolution. For
RegisterNatives, the VM will attempt this
association:
method(foo) -> nativeImplementation(foo)
When this fails, the resolution will be retried with
the specified prefix prepended to the method name,
yielding the correct resolution:
method(wrapped_foo) -> nativeImplementation(foo)
For automatic resolution, the VM will attempt:
method(wrapped_foo) -> nativeImplementation(wrapped_foo)
When this fails, the resolution will be retried with
the specified prefix deleted from the implementation name,
yielding the correct resolution:
method(wrapped_foo) -> nativeImplementation(foo)
Note that since the prefix is only used when standard
resolution fails, native methods can be wrapped selectively.
Since each JVM TI environment is independent and
can do its own transformation of the bytecodes, more
than one layer of wrappers may be applied. Thus each
environment needs its own prefix. Since transformations
are applied in order, the prefixes, if applied, will
be applied in the same order.
The order of transformation application is described in
the ClassFileLoadHook event.
Thus if three environments applied
wrappers, foo might become
$env3_$env2_$env1_foo. But if, say,
the second environment did not apply a wrapper to
foo it would be just
$env3_$env1_foo. To be able to
efficiently determine the sequence of prefixes,
an intermediate prefix is only applied if its non-native
wrapper exists. Thus, in the last example, even though
$env1_foo is not a native method, the
$env1_ prefix is applied since
$env1_foo exists.
Since the prefixes are used at resolution time
and since resolution may be arbitrarily delayed, a
native method prefix must remain set as long as there
are corresponding prefixed native methods.

Set Native Method Prefixes
jvmtiError
SetNativeMethodPrefixes(jvmtiEnv* env,
jint prefix_count,
char** prefixes)
For a normal agent, SetNativeMethodPrefix
will provide all needed native method prefixing.
For a meta-agent that performs multiple independent class
file transformations (for example as a proxy for another
layer of agents) this function allows each transformation
to have its own prefix.
The prefixes are applied in the order supplied and are
processed in the same manner as described for the
application of prefixes from multiple JVM TI environments
in SetNativeMethodPrefix.
Any previous prefixes are replaced. Thus, calling this
function with a prefix_count of 0
disables prefixing in this environment.
SetNativeMethodPrefix and this function
are the two ways to set the prefixes.
Calling SetNativeMethodPrefix with
a prefix is the same as calling this function with
prefix_count of 1.
Calling SetNativeMethodPrefix with
NULL is the same as calling this function with
prefix_count of 0.

JNI Function Interception
JNI Function Interception functions:
Provides the ability to intercept and resend
Java Native Interface (JNI) function calls
by manipulating the JNI function table.
See JNI
Functions in the Java Native Interface Specification.
The following example illustrates intercepting the
NewGlobalRef JNI call in order to count reference
creation.
JNIEnv original_jni_Functions;
JNIEnv redirected_jni_Functions;
int my_global_ref_count = 0;
jobject
MyNewGlobalRef(JNIEnv *jni_env, jobject lobj) {
++my_global_ref_count;
return originalJNIFunctions->NewGlobalRef(env, lobj);
}
void
myInit() {
jvmtiError err;
err = (*jvmti_env)->GetJNIFunctionTable(jvmti_env, &original_jni_Functions);
if (err != JVMTI_ERROR_NONE) {
die();
}
err = (*jvmti_env)->GetJNIFunctionTable(jvmti_env, &redirected_jni_Functions);
if (err != JVMTI_ERROR_NONE) {
die();
}
redirectedJNIFunctions->NewGlobalRef = MyNewGlobalRef;
err = (*jvmti_env)->SetJNIFunctionTable(jvmti_env, redirected_jni_Functions);
if (err != JVMTI_ERROR_NONE) {
die();
}
}
Sometime after myInit is called the user's JNI
code is executed which makes the call to create a new global
reference. Instead of going to the normal JNI implementation
the call goes to myNewGlobalRef. Note that a
copy of the original function table is kept so that the normal
JNI function can be called after the data is collected.
Note also that any JNI functions which are not overwritten
will behave normally.
Set JNI Function Table
jvmtiError
SetJNIFunctionTable(jvmtiEnv* env,
const jniNativeInterface* function_table)
Set the JNI function table
in all current and future JNI environments.
As a result, all future JNI calls are directed to the specified functions.
Use GetJNIFunctionTable to get the
function table to pass to this function.
For this function to take effect the the updated table entries must be
used by the JNI clients.
Since the table is defined const some compilers may optimize
away the access to the table, thus preventing this function from taking
effect.
The table is copied--changes to the local copy of the
table have no effect.
This function affects only the function table, all other aspects of the environment are
unaffected.
See the examples above.

jniNativeInterface** function_table)
Get the JNI function table.
The JNI function table is copied into allocated memory.
If SetJNIFunctionTable
has been called, the modified (not the original) function
table is returned.

Event Management
Event Management functions:
Event Management types:
Set Event Callbacks
jvmtiError
SetEventCallbacks(jvmtiEnv* env,
const jvmtiEventCallbacks* callbacks,
jint size_of_callbacks)
Set the functions to be called for each event.
The callbacks are specified by supplying a replacement function table.
The function table is copied--changes to the local copy of the
table have no effect.
This is an atomic action, all callbacks are set at once.
No events are sent before this function is called.
When an entry is NULL or when the event is beyond
size_of_callbacks no event is sent.
Details on events are
described later in this document.
An event must be enabled and have a callback in order to be
sent--the order in which this function and
SetEventNotificationMode
are called does not affect the result.

Generate Events
jvmtiError
GenerateEvents(jvmtiEnv* env,
jvmtiEvent event_type)
Generate events to represent the current state of the VM.
For example, if event_type is
JVMTI_EVENT_COMPILED_METHOD_LOAD,
a CompiledMethodLoad event will be
sent for each currently compiled method.
Methods that were loaded and now have been unloaded are not sent.
The history of what events have previously been sent does not
effect what events are sent by this function--for example,
all currently compiled methods
will be sent each time this function is called.
This function is useful when
events may have been missed due to the agent attaching after program
execution begins; this function generates the missed events.
Attempts to execute Java programming language code or
JNI functions may be paused until this function returns -
so neither should be called from the thread sending the event.
This function returns only after the missed events have been
sent, processed and have returned.
The event may be sent on a different thread than the thread
on which the event occurred.
The callback for the event must be set with
SetEventCallbacks
and the event must be enabled with
SetEventNotificationMode
or the events will not occur.
If the VM no longer has the information to generate some or
all of the requested events, the events are simply not sent -
no error is returned.
Only the following events are supported:

Capability
Capability functions:
Capability types:
The capabilities functions allow you to change the
functionality available to JVM TI--that is,
which JVM TI
functions can be called, what events can be generated,
and what functionality these events and functions can
provide.
The "Capabilities" section of each function and event describe which
capabilities, if any, they are associated with. "Required Functionality"
means it is available for use and no capabilities must be added to use it.
"Optional Functionality" means the agent must possess the capability
before it can be used.
To possess a capability, the agent must
add the capability.
"Optional Features" describe capabilities which,
if added, extend the feature set.
The potentially available capabilities of each JVM TI implementation are different.
Depending on the implementation, a capability:
- may never be added
-
may be added in either the
OnLoad or live phase in any environment
-
may be added only during the
OnLoad phase
- may be possessed by only one environment at a time
-
may be possessed by only one environment at a time,
and only during the
OnLoad phase
- and so on ...
Frequently, the addition of a capability may incur a cost in execution speed, start up
time, and/or memory footprint. Note that the overhead of using a capability
is completely different than the overhead of possessing a capability.
Take single stepping as an example. When single stepping is on (that
is, when the event is enabled and thus actively sending events)
the overhead of sending and processing an event
on each instruction is huge in any implementation.
However, the overhead of possessing the capability may be small or large,
depending on the implementation. Also, when and if a capability is potentially
available depends on the implementation. Some examples:
- One VM might perform all execution by compiling bytecodes into
native code and be unable to generate single step instructions.
In this implementation the capability can not be added.
- Another VM may be able to switch execution to a single stepping
interpreter at any time. In this implementation, having the capability has no
overhead and could be added at any time.
-
Yet another VM might be able to choose a bytecode compiling or single stepping capable interpreted
execution engine at start up, but be unable to switch between them.
In this implementation the capability would need to be added
during the
OnLoad phase (before bytecode
execution begins) and would have a large impact on execution speed
even if single stepping was never used.
-
Still another VM might be able to add an "is single stepping on" check
into compiled bytecodes or a generated interpreter. Again in this implementation
the capability would need to be added during the
OnLoad phase but the overhead (a test
and branch on each instruction) would be considerably less.
Each JVM TI environment
has its own set of capabilities.
Initially, that set is empty.
Any desired capability must be added.
If possible, capabilities should be added during the OnLoad phase. For most
virtual machines certain capabilities require special set up for
the virtual machine and this set up must happen
during the OnLoad phase, before the virtual machine begins execution.
Once a capability is added, it can
only be removed if explicitly relinquished by the environment.
The agent can,
determine what
capabilities this VM can potentially provide,
add the capabilities
to be used,
release capabilities
which are no longer needed, and
examine the currently available
capabilities.
Capability Examples
For example, a freshly started agent (in the OnLoad function)
wants to enable all possible capabilities.
Note that, in general, this is not advisable as the agent may suffer
a performance penalty for functionality it is not using.
The code might look like this in C:
jvmtiCapabilities capa;
jvmtiError err;
err = (*jvmti)->GetPotentialCapabilities(jvmti, &capa);
if (err == JVMTI_ERROR_NONE) {
err = (*jvmti)->AddCapabilities(jvmti, &capa);
For example, if an agent wants to check if it can get
the bytecodes of a method (that is, it wants to check
if it previously added this capability and has not
relinquished it), the code might
look like this in C:
jvmtiCapabilities capa;
jvmtiError err;
err = (*jvmti)->GetCapabilities(jvmti, &capa);
if (err == JVMTI_ERROR_NONE) {
if (capa.can_get_bytecodes) { ... } }

Get Potential Capabilities
jvmtiError
GetPotentialCapabilities(jvmtiEnv* env,
jvmtiCapabilities* capabilities_ptr)
Returns via capabilities_ptr the JVM TI
features that can potentially be possessed by this environment
at this time.
The returned capabilities differ from the complete set of capabilities
implemented by the VM in two cases: another environment possesses
capabilities that can only be possessed by one environment, or the
current phase is live,
and certain capabilities can only be added during the OnLoad phase.
The AddCapabilities function
may be used to set any or all or these capabilities.
Currently possessed capabilities are included.
Typically this function is used in the OnLoad function.
Some virtual machines may allow a limited set of capabilities to be
added in the live phase.
In this case, the set of potentially available capabilities
will likely differ from the OnLoad phase set.

Class Loader Search
Class Loader Search functions:
These functions allow the agent to add to the locations that a class loader searches for a class.
This is useful for installing instrumentation under the correct class loader.
Add To Bootstrap Class Loader Search
jvmtiError
AddToBootstrapClassLoaderSearch(jvmtiEnv* env,
const char* segment)
This function can be used to cause instrumentation classes to be defined by the
bootstrap class loader. See The Java™ Virtual Machine Specification, Chapter 5.3.1.
After the bootstrap
class loader unsuccessfully searches for a class, the specified platform-dependent
search path segment will be searched as well. Only one segment may be specified in
the segment. This function may be called multiple times to add multiple segments,
the segments will be searched in the order that this function was called.
In the OnLoad phase the function may be used to specify any platform-dependent
search path segment to be searched after the bootstrap class loader unsuccessfully searches
for a class. The segment is typically a directory or JAR file.
In the live phase the segment may be used to specify any platform-dependent
path to a
JAR file. The agent should take care that the JAR file does not
contain any classes or resources other than those to be defined by the bootstrap
class loader for the purposes of instrumentation.
The Java™ Virtual Machine Specification specifies that a subsequent attempt to resolve a symbolic
reference that the Java virtual machine has previously unsuccessfully attempted
to resolve always fails with the same error that was thrown as a result of the
initial resolution attempt. Consequently, if the JAR file contains an entry
that corresponds to a class for which the Java virtual machine has
unsuccessfully attempted to resolve a reference, then subsequent attempts to
resolve that reference will fail with the same error as the initial attempt.

Add To System Class Loader Search
jvmtiError
AddToSystemClassLoaderSearch(jvmtiEnv* env,
const char* segment)
This function can be used to cause instrumentation classes to be
defined by the system class loader. See The Java™ Virtual Machine Specification, Chapter 5.3.2.
After the class loader unsuccessfully searches for a class, the specified platform-dependent search
path segment will be searched as well. Only one segment may be specified in the
segment. This function may be called multiple times to add multiple segments, the
segments will be searched in the order that this function was called.
In the OnLoad phase the function may be used to specify any platform-dependent
search path segment to be searched after the system class loader unsuccessfully searches
for a class. The segment is typically a directory or JAR file.
In the live phase the segment is a platform-dependent path to a
JAR file to be
searched after the system class loader unsuccessfully searches for a class. The agent should
take care that the JAR file does not contain any classes or resources other than those to be
defined by the system class loader for the purposes of instrumentation.
In the live phase the system class loader supports adding a JAR file to be searched if
the system class loader implements a method name appendToClassPathForInstrumentation
which takes a single parameter of type java.lang.String. The method is not required
to have public access.
The Java™ Virtual Machine Specification specifies that a subsequent attempt to resolve a symbolic
reference that the Java virtual machine has previously unsuccessfully attempted
to resolve always fails with the same error that was thrown as a result of the
initial resolution attempt. Consequently, if the JAR file contains an entry
that corresponds to a class for which the Java virtual machine has
unsuccessfully attempted to resolve a reference, then subsequent attempts to
resolve that reference will fail with the same error as the initial attempt.

System Properties
System Properties functions:
These functions get and set system properties.
Get System Properties
jvmtiError
GetSystemProperties(jvmtiEnv* env,
jint* count_ptr,
char*** property_ptr)
The list of VM system property keys which may be used with
GetSystemProperty is returned.
It is strongly recommended that virtual machines provide the
following property keys:
-
java.vm.vendor
-
java.vm.version
-
java.vm.name
-
java.vm.info
-
java.library.path
-
java.class.path
Provides access to system properties defined by and used
by the VM.
Properties set on the command-line are included.
This allows getting and setting of these properties
before the VM even begins executing bytecodes.
Since this is a VM view of system properties, the set of available
properties will usually be different than that
in java.lang.System.getProperties.
JNI method invocation may be used to access
java.lang.System.getProperties.
The set of properties may grow during execution.

On return, points to an array of property keys, encoded as
modified UTF-8 strings.
Agent passes a pointer to a char**. On return, the char** points to a newly allocated array of size *count_ptr, each element of which is also newly allocated.
The array should be freed with Deallocate.
Each of the elements should be freed with Deallocate. |
Get System Property
jvmtiError
GetSystemProperty(jvmtiEnv* env,
const char* property,
char** value_ptr)
Return a VM system property value given the property key.
The function GetSystemProperties
returns the set of property keys which may be used.
The properties which can be retrieved may grow during
execution.
Since this is a VM view of system properties, the values
of properties may differ from that returned by
java.lang.System.getProperty(String).
A typical VM might copy the values of the VM system
properties into the Properties held by
java.lang.System during the initialization
of that class. Thereafter any changes to the VM system
properties (with SetSystemProperty)
or the java.lang.System system properties
(with java.lang.System.setProperty(String,String))
would cause the values to diverge.
JNI method invocation may be used to access
java.lang.System.getProperty(String).

} jvmtiJlocationFormat;
jvmtiError
GetJLocationFormat(jvmtiEnv* env,
jvmtiJlocationFormat* format_ptr)
Although the greatest functionality is achieved with location information
referencing the virtual machine bytecode index, the definition of
jlocation has intentionally been left unconstrained to allow VM
implementations that do not have this information.
This function describes the representation of jlocation used in this VM.
If the returned format is JVMTI_JLOCATION_JVMBCI,
jlocations can
be used as in indices into the array returned by
GetBytecodes.

format_ptr | jvmtiJlocationFormat* |
On return, points to the format identifier for jlocation values.
Agent passes a pointer to a jvmtiJlocationFormat. On return, the jvmtiJlocationFormat has been set. |
Heap Monitoring
Heap Monitoring functions:
Set Heap Sampling Interval
jvmtiError
SetHeapSamplingInterval(jvmtiEnv* env,
jint sampling_interval)
Generate a SampledObjectAlloc event when objects are allocated.
Each thread keeps a counter of bytes allocated. The event will only be generated
when that counter exceeds an average of sampling_interval
since the last sample.
Setting sampling_interval to 0 will cause an event to be
generated by each allocation supported by the system once the new interval is taken into account.
Note that updating the new sampling interval might take various number of allocations
to provoke internal data structure updates. Therefore it is important to
consider the sampling interval as an average. This includes the interval 0, where events
might not be generated straight away for each allocation.
|
Name
|
Type
|
Description
|
sampling_interval | jint |
The sampling interval in bytes. The sampler uses a statistical approach to
generate an event, on average, once for every sampling_interval bytes of
memory allocated by a given thread.
Once the new sampling interval is taken into account, 0 as a sampling interval will generate
a sample for every allocation.
Note: The overhead of this feature is directly correlated with the sampling interval.
A high sampling interval, such as 1024 bytes, will incur a high overhead.
A lower interval, such as 1024KB, will have a much lower overhead. Sampling should only
be used with an understanding that it may impact performance.

Errors
Every JVM TI function returns a jvmtiError error code.
It is the responsibility of the agent to call JVM TI functions with
valid parameters and in the proper context (calling thread is attached,
phase is correct, etc.).
Detecting some error conditions may be difficult, inefficient, or
impossible for an implementation.
The errors listed in
Function Specific Required Errors
must be detected by the implementation.
All other errors represent the recommended response to the error
condition.

Events
Handling Events
Agents can be informed of many events that occur in application
programs.
To handle events, designate a set of callback functions with
SetEventCallbacks.
For each event the corresponding callback function will be
called.
Arguments to the callback function provide additional
information about the event.
The callback function is usually called from within an application
thread. The JVM TI implementation does not
queue events in any way. This means
that event callback functions must be written
carefully. Here are some general guidelines. See
the individual event descriptions for further
suggestions.
- Any exception thrown during the execution of an event callback can
overwrite any current pending exception in the current application thread.
Care must be taken to preserve a pending exception
when an event callback makes a JNI call that might generate an exception.
-
Event callback functions must be re-entrant. The JVM TI implementation does
not queue events. If an agent needs to process events one at a time, it
can use a raw monitor inside the
event callback functions to serialize event processing.
- Event callback functions that execute JNI's FindClass function to load
classes need to note that FindClass locates the class loader associated
with the current native method. For the purposes of class loading, an
event callback that includes a JNI environment as a parameter to the
callback will treated as if it is a native call, where the native method
is in the class of the event thread's current frame.
Some JVM TI events identify objects with JNI references.
All references
in JVM TI events are JNI local references and will become invalid
after the event callback returns.
Unless stated otherwise, memory referenced by pointers sent in event
callbacks may not be referenced after the event callback returns.
Except where stated otherwise, events are delivered on the thread
that caused the event.
Events are sent at the time they occur.
The specification for each event includes the set of
phases in which it can be sent;
if an event triggering activity occurs during another phase, no event
is sent.
A thread that generates an event does not change its execution status
(for example, the event does not cause the thread to be suspended).
If an agent wishes the event to result in suspension, then the agent
is responsible for explicitly suspending the thread with
SuspendThread.
If an event is enabled in multiple environments, the event will be sent
to each agent in the order that the environments were created.
Enabling Events
All events are initially disabled. In order to receive any
event:
Multiple Co-located Events
In many situations it is possible for multiple events to occur
at the same location in one thread. When this happens, all the events
are reported through the event callbacks in the order specified in this section.
If the current location is at the entry point of a method, the
MethodEntry event is reported before
any other event at the current location in the same thread.
If an exception catch has been detected at the current location,
either because it is the beginning of a catch clause or a native method
that cleared a pending exception has returned, the
exceptionCatch event is reported before
any other event at the current location in the same thread.
If a singleStep event or
breakpoint event is triggered at the
current location, the event is defined to occur
immediately before the code at the current location is executed.
These events are reported before any events which are triggered
by the execution of code at the current location in the same
thread (specifically:
exception,
fieldAccess, and
fieldModification).
If both a step and breakpoint event are triggered for the same thread and
location, the step event is reported before the breakpoint event.
If the current location is the exit point of a method (that is, the last
location before returning to the caller), the
MethodExit event and
the FramePop event (if requested)
are reported after all other events at the current location in the same
thread. There is no specified ordering of these two events
with respect to each other.
Co-located events can be triggered during the processing of some other
event by the agent at the same location in the same thread.
If such an event, of type y, is triggered during the processing of
an event of type x, and if x
precedes y in the ordering specified above, the co-located event
y is reported for the current thread and location. If x does not precede
y, y is not reported for the current thread and location.
For example, if a breakpoint is set at the current location
during the processing of SingleStep,
that breakpoint will be reported before the thread moves off the current
location.
The following events are never considered to be co-located with
other events.

Single Step
void JNICALL
SingleStep(jvmtiEnv *jvmti_env,
JNIEnv* jni_env,
jthread thread,
jmethodID method,
jlocation location)
Single step events allow the agent to trace thread execution
at the finest granularity allowed by the VM. A single step event is
generated whenever a thread reaches a new location.
Typically, single step events represent the completion of one VM
instruction as defined in The Java™ Virtual Machine Specification. However, some implementations
may define locations differently. In any case the
method and location
parameters uniquely identify the current location and allow
the mapping to source file and line number when that information is
available.
No single step events are generated from within native methods.

Native Method Bind
void JNICALL
NativeMethodBind(jvmtiEnv *jvmti_env,
JNIEnv* jni_env,
jthread thread,
jmethodID method,
void* address,
void** new_address_ptr)
A Native Method Bind event is sent when a VM binds a
Java programming language native method
to the address of a function that implements the native method.
This will occur when the native method is called for the first time
and also occurs when the JNI function RegisterNatives is called.
This event allows the bind to be redirected to an agent-specified
proxy function.
This event is not sent when the native method is unbound.
Typically, this proxy function will need to be specific to a
particular method or, to handle the general case, automatically
generated assembly code, since after instrumentation code is
executed the function at the original binding
address will usually be invoked.
The original binding can be restored or the redirection changed
by use of the JNI function RegisterNatives.
Some events may be sent during the primordial phase, JNI and
most of JVM TI cannot be used at this time but the method and
address can be saved for use later.
Optional Functionality: might not be implemented for all
virtual machines.
The following capability
(as returned by
GetCapabilities)

event.

Exception
void JNICALL
Exception(jvmtiEnv *jvmti_env,
JNIEnv* jni_env,
jthread thread,
jmethodID method,
jlocation location,
jobject exception,
jmethodID catch_method,
jlocation catch_location)
Exception events are generated whenever an exception is first detected
in a Java programming language method.
Where "exception" means any java.lang.Throwable.
The exception may have been thrown by a Java programming language or native
method, but in the case of native methods, the event is not generated
until the exception is first seen by a Java programming language method. If an exception is
set and cleared in a native method (and thus is never visible to Java programming language code),
no exception event is generated.
The method and location
parameters uniquely identify the current location
(where the exception was detected) and allow
the mapping to source file and line number when that information is
available. The exception field identifies the thrown
exception object. The catch_method
and catch_location identify the location of the catch clause,
if any, that handles the thrown exception. If there is no such catch clause,
each field is set to 0. There is no guarantee that the thread will ever
reach this catch clause. If there are native methods on the call stack
between the throw location and the catch clause, the exception may
be reset by one of those native methods.
Similarly, exceptions that are reported as uncaught (catch_klass
et al. set to 0) may in fact be caught by native code.
Agents can check for these occurrences by monitoring
ExceptionCatch events.
Note that finally clauses are implemented as catch and re-throw. Therefore they
will be reported in the catch location.

Exception Catch
void JNICALL
ExceptionCatch(jvmtiEnv *jvmti_env,
JNIEnv* jni_env,
jthread thread,
jmethodID method,
jlocation location,
jobject exception)
Exception catch events are generated whenever a thrown exception is caught.
Where "exception" means any java.lang.Throwable.
If the exception is caught in a Java programming language method, the event is generated
when the catch clause is reached. If the exception is caught in a native
method, the event is generated as soon as control is returned to a Java programming language
method. Exception catch events are generated for any exception for which
a throw was detected in a Java programming language method.
Note that finally clauses are implemented as catch and re-throw. Therefore they
will generate exception catch events.
The method and location
parameters uniquely identify the current location
and allow the mapping to source file and line number when that information is
available. For exceptions caught in a Java programming language method, the
exception object identifies the exception object. Exceptions
caught in native methods are not necessarily available by the time the
exception catch is reported, so the exception field is set
to NULL.

Class Load
void JNICALL
ClassLoad(jvmtiEnv *jvmti_env,
JNIEnv* jni_env,
jthread thread,
jclass klass)
A class load event is generated when a class is first loaded. The order
of class load events generated by a particular thread are guaranteed
to match the order of class loading within that thread.
Array class creation does not generate a class load event.
The creation of a primitive class (for example, java.lang.Integer.TYPE)
does not generate a class load event.
This event is sent at an early stage in loading the class. As
a result the class should be used carefully. Note, for example,
that methods and fields are not yet loaded, so queries for methods,
fields, subclasses, and so on will not give correct results.
See "Loading of Classes and Interfaces" in the Java Language
Specification. For most
purposes the ClassPrepare event will
be more useful.

available, and no code from the class has been executed. Since array
classes never have fields or methods, class prepare events are not

Class File Load Hook
void JNICALL
ClassFileLoadHook(jvmtiEnv *jvmti_env,
JNIEnv* jni_env,
jclass class_being_redefined,
jobject loader,
const char* name,
jobject protection_domain,
jint class_data_len,
const unsigned char* class_data,
jint* new_class_data_len,
unsigned char** new_class_data)
This event is sent when the VM obtains class file data,
but before it constructs
the in-memory representation for that class.
This event is also sent when the class is being modified by the
RetransformClasses function or
the RedefineClasses function,
called in any JVM TI environment.
The agent can instrument
the existing class file data sent by the VM to include profiling/debugging hooks.
See the description of
bytecode instrumentation
for usage information.
When the capabilities
can_generate_early_class_hook_events and
can_generate_all_class_hook_events
are enabled then this event may be sent in the primordial phase.
Otherwise, this event may be sent before the VM is initialized (the start
phase).
Some classes might not be compatible
with the function (eg. ROMized classes or implementation defined classes) and this event will
not be generated for these classes.
The agent must allocate the space for the modified
class file data buffer
using the memory allocation function
Allocate because the
VM is responsible for freeing the new class file data buffer
using Deallocate.
If the agent wishes to modify the class file, it must set
new_class_data to point
to the newly instrumented class file data buffer and set
new_class_data_len to the length of that
buffer before returning
from this call. If no modification is desired, the agent simply
does not set new_class_data. If multiple agents
have enabled this event the results are chained. That is, if
new_class_data has been set, it becomes the
class_data for the next agent.
When handling a class load in the live phase, then the
GetNamedModule
function can be used to map class loader and a package name to a module.
When a class is being redefined or retransformed then
class_being_redefined is non NULL and so
the JNI GetModule function can also be used
to obtain the Module.
The order that this event is sent to each environment differs
from other events.
This event is sent to environments in the following order:
When triggered by RetransformClasses,
this event is sent only to retransformation
capable
environments.

VM Start Event
void JNICALL
VMStart(jvmtiEnv *jvmti_env,
JNIEnv* jni_env)
The VM start event signals the start of the VM.
At this time JNI is live but the VM is not yet fully initialized.
Once this event is generated, the agent is free to call any JNI function.
This event signals the beginning of the start phase,
JVM TI functions permitted in the start phase may be called.
The timing of this event may depend on whether the agent has added the
can_generate_early_vmstart capability or not.
If the capability has been added then the VM posts the event as early
as possible. The VM is capable of executing bytecode but it may not have
initialized to the point where it can load classes in modules other than
java.base, or even arbitrary classes in java.base.
Agents that do load-time instrumentation in this
phase must take great care when instrumenting code that potentially
executes in this phase. Extreme care should also be taken with JNI
FindClass as it may not be possible to load classes and attempts
to do so may result in unpredictable behavior, maybe even stability issues
on some VM implementations.
If the capability has not been added then the VM delays posting this
event until it is capable of loading classes in modules other than
java.base or the VM has completed its initialization.
Agents that create more than one JVM TI environment, where the
capability is added to some but not all environments, may observe the
start phase beginning earlier in the JVM TI environments that possess
the capability.
In the case of VM start-up failure, this event will not be sent.

this event is generated, the agent is free to call any JNI or JVM TI
function. The VM initialization event can be preceded by or can be concurrent
with other events, but
the preceding events should be handled carefully, if at all, because the
VM has not completed its initialization. The thread start event for the
main application thread is guaranteed not to occur until after the
handler for the VM initialization event returns.

VM Object Allocation
void JNICALL
VMObjectAlloc(jvmtiEnv *jvmti_env,
JNIEnv* jni_env,
jthread thread,
jobject object,
jclass object_klass,
jlong size)
Sent when a method causes the virtual machine to directly allocate an
Object visible to Java programming language code.
Generally object allocation should be detected by instrumenting
the bytecodes of allocating methods.
Object allocation generated in native code by JNI function
calls should be detected using
JNI function interception.
Some methods might not have associated bytecodes and are not
native methods, they instead are executed directly by the
VM. These methods should send this event.
Virtual machines which are incapable of bytecode instrumentation
for some or all of their methods can send this event.
Note that the SampledObjectAlloc
event is triggered on all Java object allocations, including those
caused by bytecode method execution, JNI method execution, and
directly by VM methods.
Typical examples where this event might be sent:
-
Reflection -- for example,
java.lang.Class.newInstance()
- Methods not represented by bytecodes -- for example, VM intrinsics and
J2ME preloaded classes
Cases where this event would not be generated:
-
Allocation due to bytecodes -- for example, the
new
and newarray VM instructions
-
Allocation due to JNI function calls -- for example,
AllocObject
- Allocations during VM initialization
- VM internal objects

Sampled Object Allocation
void JNICALL
SampledObjectAlloc(jvmtiEnv *jvmti_env,
JNIEnv* jni_env,
jthread thread,
jobject object,
jclass object_klass,
jlong size)
Sent when an allocated object is sampled.
By default, the sampling interval is set to 512KB. The sampling is semi-random to avoid
pattern-based bias and provides an approximate overall average interval over long periods of
sampling.
Each thread tracks how many bytes it has allocated since it sent the last event.
When the number of bytes exceeds the sampling interval, it will send another event.
This implies that, on average, one object will be sampled every time a thread has
allocated 512KB bytes since the last sample.
Note that the sampler is pseudo-random: it will not sample every 512KB precisely.
The goal of this is to ensure high quality sampling even if allocation is
happening in a fixed pattern (i.e., the same set of objects are being allocated
every 512KB).
If another sampling interval is required, the user can call
SetHeapSamplingInterval with a strictly positive integer value,
representing the new sampling interval.
This event is sent once the sampled allocation has been performed. It provides the object, stack trace
of the allocation, the thread allocating, the size of allocation, and the object's class.
A typical use case of this system is to determine where heap allocations originate.
In conjunction with weak references and the function
GetStackTrace, a user can track which objects were allocated from which
stack trace, and which are still live during the execution of the program.

jni_env |
JNIEnv
* |
The JNI environment of the event (current) thread.
|
thread | jthread |
Thread allocating the object.
|
object | jobject |
JNI local reference to the object that was allocated.
|
object_klass | jclass |
JNI local reference to the class of the object
|
size | jlong |
Size of the object (in bytes). See GetObjectSize.

Object Free
void JNICALL
ObjectFree(jvmtiEnv *jvmti_env,
jlong tag)
An Object Free event is sent when the garbage collector frees an object.
Events are only sent for tagged objects--see
heap functions.
The event handler must not use JNI functions and
must not use JVM TI functions except those which
specifically allow such use (see the raw monitor, memory management,
and environment local storage functions).
Optional Functionality: might not be implemented for all
virtual machines.
The following capability
(as returned by
GetCapabilities)
must be true to use this
event.

Garbage Collection Start
void JNICALL
GarbageCollectionStart(jvmtiEnv *jvmti_env)
A Garbage Collection Start event is sent when a
garbage collection pause begins.
Only stop-the-world collections are reported--that is, collections during
which all threads cease to modify the state of the Java virtual machine.
This means that some collectors will never generate these events.
This event is sent while the VM is still stopped, thus
the event handler must not use JNI functions and
must not use JVM TI functions except those which
specifically allow such use (see the raw monitor, memory management,
and environment local storage functions).
This event is always sent as a matched pair with
GarbageCollectionFinish
(assuming both events are enabled) and no garbage collection
events will occur between them.
Optional Functionality: might not be implemented for all
virtual machines.
The following capability
(as returned by
GetCapabilities)
must be true to use this
event.
|
|
Capability
|
Effect
|
can_generate_garbage_collection_events |
Can generate events when garbage collection begins or ends
|
Garbage Collection Finish
void JNICALL
GarbageCollectionFinish(jvmtiEnv *jvmti_env)
A Garbage Collection Finish event is sent when a
garbage collection pause ends.
This event is sent while the VM is still stopped, thus
the event handler must not use JNI functions and
must not use JVM TI functions except those which
specifically allow such use (see the raw monitor, memory management,
and environment local storage functions).
Some agents may need to do post garbage collection operations that
require the use of the disallowed JVM TI or JNI functions. For these
cases an agent thread can be created which waits on a raw monitor,
and the handler for the Garbage Collection Finish event simply
notifies the raw monitor
This event is always sent as a matched pair with
GarbageCollectionStart (assuming both events are enabled).
Optional Functionality: might not be implemented for all
virtual machines.
The following capability
(as returned by
GetCapabilities)
must be true to use this
event.

Change History
Last update: 09/05/07
Version: 11.0.0
The JVM TI specification is an evolving document with major, minor,
and micro version numbers.
A released version of the specification is uniquely identified
by its major and minor version.
The functions, events, and capabilities in this specification
indicate a "Since" value which is the major and minor version in
which it was introduced.
The version of the specification implemented by the VM can
be retrieved at runtime with the GetVersionNumber
function.
