JVM^TM Tool Interface

Version 1.0

What is the JVM Tool Interface?

The JVM ^TM 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 Java ^TM 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 Java ^TM 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 J2SE ^TM include directory to your include path and add

#include <jvmti.h>

to your source code.

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 Windows ^TM or libfoo.so from the LD_LIBRARY_PATH under the Solaris ^TM operating environment.

-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.

The start-up routine Agent_OnLoad in the library will be invoked.

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 library must export a start-up function with the following prototype:

JNIEXPORT jint JNICALL 
Agent_OnLoad(JavaVM *vm, char *options, void *reserved)

This function will be called by the VM when the library is loaded. The VM should load the library 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 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 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 provides 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 is used to indicate an error. Any value other than zero indicates an error and causes termination of the VM.

Agent Shutdown

The library may optionally export a shutdown function with the following prototype:

JNIEXPORT void JNICALL 
Agent_OnUnload(JavaVM *vm)

This function will be called by the VM when the library is about to be unloaded. The library will be unloaded 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 couse, 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 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 during Agent_OnLoad .

JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS

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 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 object allocation events and 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. TheClassFileLoadHook event 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 RedefineClassesfunction. 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 (the ClassFileLoadHook event and the RedefineClasses function) is intended to provide a mechanism for instrumentation (described above) and, during development, for fix-and-continue debugging.

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);
        }
      }

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 supposed 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.

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.

Memory Management

Memory Management functions:

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.

This function may be called during any phase.

This function may be called from the callbacks to the Heap iteration functions, or from the event handles for the GarbageCollectionStart,GarbageCollectionFinish, and ObjectFree events.

Capabilities
Required Functionality

Parameters
Name	Type	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`.

Errors
This function returns either a universal error or one of the following errors
Error	Description
`JVMTI_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY`	Memory request cannot be honored.
`JVMTI_ERROR_ILLEGAL_ARGUMENT`	`size` is less than zero.
`JVMTI_ERROR_NULL_POINTER`	`mem_ptr` is `NULL`.

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.

This function may be called during any phase.

This function may be called from the callbacks to the Heap iteration functions, or from the event handles for the GarbageCollectionStart,GarbageCollectionFinish, and ObjectFree events.

Capabilities
Required Functionality

Parameters
Name	Type	Description
`mem`	`unsigned char *`	A pointer to the beginning of the allocated memory. Please ignore "On return, the elements are set." Agent passes an array of `unsigned char`. The incoming values of the elements of the array are ignored. On return, the elements are set. If `mem` is `NULL`, the call is ignored.

JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_TERMINATED 0x0002 Thread has completed execution.
JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_RUNNABLE 0x0004 Thread is runnable.
JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_BLOCKED_ON_MONITOR_ENTER 0x0400 Thread is waiting to enter a synchronization block/method or, after an Object.wait(), waiting to re-enter a synchronization block/method.
JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_WAITING 0x0080 Thread is waiting.
JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_WAITING_INDEFINITELY 0x0010 Thread is waiting without a timeout. For example,Object.wait().

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 J2SE^TM 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 J2SE^TM 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:

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);

            const void* arg,
            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 ofjava.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. Ideally, all calls to Java programming language code should be done during the callback for the VMInit event to avoid any interaction with the target application.

The following thread priorities are useful:

Thread Priority Constants
Constant Value Description
JVMTI_THREAD_MIN_PRIORITY 1 Minimum possible thread priority
JVMTI_THREAD_NORM_PRIORITY 5 Normal thread priority
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.

This function may only be called during the live phase.

`state`	`jint`	On return, the thread state. See `GetThreadState`.
`frame_buffer`	`jvmtiFrameInfo*`	On return, this agent allocated buffer is filled with stack frame information.
`frame_count`	`jint`	On return, the number of records filled into `frame_buffer`. This will be min(`max_frame_count`, stackDepth).

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 deepest frames are returned, otherwise the entire stack is returned. Deepest frames are at the beginning of the returned buffer.

The following example causes up to five of the deepest 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);
   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.

If platform dependent method invocations are used to launch a thread, they may be included in the stack trace - that is, there may be frames deeper than main() and run().

This function may only be called during the live phase.

Capabilities
Required Functionality

Parameters
Name	Type	Description
`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.
`max_frame_count`	`jint`	The maximum number of `jvmtiFrameInfo` records to retrieve.
`frame_buffer`	`jvmtiFrameInfo*`	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.

Errors
This function returns either a universal error or one of the following errors
Error	Description
`JVMTI_ERROR_ILLEGAL_ARGUMENT`	`start_depth` is greater than or equal to stackDepthor `start_depth` is less than -stackDepth.

            jvmtiStackInfo** stack_info_ptr,
            jint* thread_count_ptr)

Get information about the stacks of all live threads (including agent threads). If max_frame_count is less than the depth of a stack, themax_frame_count deepest frames are returned for that thread, otherwise the entire stack is returned. Deepest frames 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.

`stack_info_ptr`	`jvmtiStackInfo**`	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.

If this function is called for a thread actively executing bytecodes (for example, not the current thread and not suspended), the information returned is transient.

This function may only be called during the live phase.

Capabilities
Required Functionality

Parameters
Name	Type	Description
`thread`	`jthread`	The thread to query. If `thread` is `NULL`, the current thread is used.
`count_ptr`	`jint*`	On return, points to the number of frames in the call stack. Agent passes a pointer to a `jint`. On return, the `jint` has been set.

Errors
This function returns either a universal error or one of the following errors
Error	Description
`JVMTI_ERROR_INVALID_THREAD`	`thread` is not a thread object.
`JVMTI_ERROR_THREAD_NOT_ALIVE`	`thread` is not live (has not been started or is now dead).

Pop Frame

jvmtiError
PopFrame(jvmtiEnv* env,
            jthread thread)

Pop the topmost stack frame of thread's stack. Popping a frame takes you to the preceding 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 Specificationterminology):

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

Locks acquired by a popped frame are released when it is popped. This applies to synchronized methods that are popped, and to any synchronized blocks within them, but does not apply to native locks.

Finally blocks are not executed.

Changes to global state are not addressed and thus remain changed.

The specified thread must not be the current thread and must be suspended.

Both the called method and calling method must be non-native Java programming language methods.

No JVM TI events are generated by this function.

This function may only be called during the live phase.

Heap

Heap functions:

Heap function types:

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 jvmtiHeapObjectCallback

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 an tag of zero. Setting a tag to zero makes the object untagged.

Heap Object Filter Enumeration (jvmtiHeapObjectFilter)
Constant Value Description
JVMTI_HEAP_OBJECT_TAGGED 1 Tagged objects only.
JVMTI_HEAP_OBJECT_UNTAGGED 2 Untagged objects only.
JVMTI_HEAP_OBJECT_EITHER 3 Either tagged or untagged objects.

Heap Root Kind Enumeration (jvmtiHeapRootKind)
Constant Value Description
JVMTI_HEAP_ROOT_JNI_GLOBAL 1 JNI global reference.
JVMTI_HEAP_ROOT_SYSTEM_CLASS 2 System class.
JVMTI_HEAP_ROOT_MONITOR 3 Monitor.
JVMTI_HEAP_ROOT_STACK_LOCAL 4 Stack local.
JVMTI_HEAP_ROOT_JNI_LOCAL 5 JNI local reference.
JVMTI_HEAP_ROOT_THREAD 6 Thread.
JVMTI_HEAP_ROOT_OTHER 7 Other.

Object Reference Enumeration (jvmtiObjectReferenceKind)
Constant Value Description
JVMTI_REFERENCE_CLASS 1 Reference from an object to its class.
JVMTI_REFERENCE_FIELD 2 Reference from an object to the value of one of its instance fields. For references of this kind thereferrer_index parameter to thejvmtiObjectReferenceCallback 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 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_ARRAY_ELEMENT 3 Reference from an array to one of its elements. For references of this kind the referrer_index parameter to thejvmtiObjectReferenceCallback is the array index.
JVMTI_REFERENCE_CLASS_LOADER 4 Reference from a class to its class loader.
JVMTI_REFERENCE_SIGNERS 5 Reference from a class to its signers array.
JVMTI_REFERENCE_PROTECTION_DOMAIN 6 Reference from a class to its protection domain.
JVMTI_REFERENCE_INTERFACE 7 Reference from a class to one of its interfaces.
JVMTI_REFERENCE_STATIC_FIELD 8 Reference from a class to the value of one of its static fields. For references of this kind thereferrer_index parameter to thejvmtiObjectReferenceCallback is the index of the static field. The index is based on the order of the directly declared static and instance fields in the class (not inherited fields), starting at zero. See GetClassFields.
JVMTI_REFERENCE_CONSTANT_POOL 9 Reference from a class to a resolved entry in the constant pool. For references of this kind thereferrer_index parameter to thejvmtiObjectReferenceCallback is the index into constant pool table of the class, starting at 1. See The Constant Pool in the Java Virtual Machine Specification.

Iteration Control Enumeration (jvmtiIterationControl)
Constant Value Description
JVMTI_ITERATION_CONTINUE 1 Continue the iteration. If this is a reference iteration, follow the references of this object.
JVMTI_ITERATION_IGNORE 2 Continue the iteration. If this is a reference iteration, ignore the references of this object.
JVMTI_ITERATION_ABORT 0 Abort the iteration.

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.

Get Tag

jvmtiError
GetTag(jvmtiEnv* env,
            jobject object,
            jlong* tag_ptr)

Force Garbage Collection

jvmtiError
ForceGarbageCollection(jvmtiEnv* env)

Force the VM to perform a garbage collection. The garbage collection is as complete as possible. This function does not cause finalizers to be run. This function does not return until the garbage collection is finished.

Although garbage collection is as complete as possible there is no guarantee that all ObjectFree events will have been sent by the time that this function returns. In particular, an object may be prevented from being freed because it is awaiting finalization.

Iterate Over Objects Reachable From Object

jvmtiError
IterateOverObjectsReachableFromObject(jvmtiEnv* env,
            jobject object,
            jvmtiObjectReferenceCallback object_reference_callback,
            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 andjvmtiObjectReferenceCallback.referrer_index. The callback for an object will always occur after the callback for its referrer.

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.

This function may only be called during the live phase.

Capabilities
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_tag_objects`	Can set and get tags, as described in the Heap category.

Parameters
Name	Type	Description
`object`	`jobject`	The object
`object_reference_callback`	`jvmtiObjectReferenceCallback`	The callback to be called to describe each object reference.
`user_data`	`void *`	User supplied data to be passed to the callback. Agent passes a pointer to a`void`. On return, the `void` has been set. If `user_data` is `NULL`,`NULL` is passed as the user supplied data.

Errors
This function returns either a universal error or one of the following errors
Error	Description
`JVMTI_ERROR_MUST_POSSESS_CAPABILITY`	The environment does not possess the capability `can_tag_objects`. Use `AddCapabilities`.
`JVMTI_ERROR_INVALID_OBJECT`	`object` is not an object.
`JVMTI_ERROR_NULL_POINTER`	`object_reference_callback` is `NULL`.

Iterate Over Reachable Objects

jvmtiError
IterateOverReachableObjects(jvmtiEnv* env,

            jvmtiObjectReferenceCallback object_ref_callback,
            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 andjvmtiObjectReferenceCallback.referrer_index. The callback for an object will always occur after the callback for its referrer.

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 theobject_ref_callback callback is specified as NULL then this function returns after reporting the root objects to the profiler.

This function may only be called during the live phase.

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. See the description of bytecode instrumentation for usage information.

An original version of 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 methid ID; the original method ID now refers to the new method version. A method ID can be tested for obsolescence with IsMethodObsolete. 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. The redefinition must not add, remove or rename fields or methods, change the signatures of methods, change modifiers, or change inheritance. 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.

This function may only be called during the live phase.

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_redefine_classes`	Can redefine classes with `RedefineClasses`. Bytecodes of the original and redefined methods can be different. The constant pool and attributes can also be different.

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. UseGetJNIFunctionTable to get the function table to pass. 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.

This function may only be called during the start or the live phase.

Capabilities
Required Functionality

Parameters
Name	Type	Description
`function_table`	`constjniNativeInterface *`	Points to the new JNI function table. Agent passes in a pointer to`jniNativeInterface`.

Errors
This function returns either a universal error or one of the following errors
Error	Description
`JVMTI_ERROR_NULL_POINTER`	`function_table` is `NULL`.

Get JNI Function Table

jvmtiError
GetJNIFunctionTable(jvmtiEnv* env,
            jniNativeInterface** function_table)

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 beyondsize_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, ifevent_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 previous been sent does not effect what events are sent--all currently compiled methods will be sent each time this method 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:

This function may only be called during the live phase.

Capability

Capability functions:

Capability types:

jvmtiCapabilities - Capabilities of an Environment

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 OnLoadphase
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) { ... } }

The Capabilities Structure

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 AddCapabilitiesfunction 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.

See the Capability Examples.

This function may only be called during the OnLoad or the live phase.

Timers

Timers functions:

Timers types:

jvmtiTimerInfo - Timer Info

These functions provide timing information. The resolution at which the time is updated is not specified. They provides nanosecond precision, but not necessarily nanosecond accuracy. Details about the timers, such as their maximum values, can be accessed with the timer information functions. The information function for each timer returns the following data structure --

typedef struct {
    jlong max_value;
    jboolean may_skip_forward;
    jboolean may_skip_backward;
    jvmtiTimerKind kind;
    jlong reserved1;
    jlong reserved2;
} jvmtiTimerInfo;

Where the timer kind is --

Timer Kinds (jvmtiTimerKind)
Constant Value Description
JVMTI_TIMER_USER_CPU 30 CPU time that a thread is in user mode.
JVMTI_TIMER_TOTAL_CPU 31 CPU time that a thread is in user or system mode.
JVMTI_TIMER_ELAPSED 32 Elapsed time.

`jvmtiTimerInfo` - Timer Info
Field	Type	Description
`max_value`	`jlong`	The maximum value the timer can reach. After this value is reached the timer wraps back to zero. This is an unsigned value. If tested or printed as a jlong (signed value) it may appear to be a negative number.
`may_skip_forward`	`jboolean`	If true, the timer can be externally adjusted and as a result skip forward. If false, the timer value will never increase faster than real time.
`may_skip_backward`	`jboolean`	If true, the timer can be externally adjusted and as a result skip backward. If false, the timer value will be monotonically increasing.
`kind`	`jvmtiTimerKind`	The kind of timer. On a platform that does not distinguish between user and system time,`JVMTI_TIMER_TOTAL_CPU` is returned.
`reserved1`	`jlong`	Reserved for future use.
`reserved2`	`jlong`	Reserved for future use.

Get Current Thread CPU Timer Information

jvmtiError
GetCurrentThreadCpuTimerInfo(jvmtiEnv* env,
            jvmtiTimerInfo* info_ptr)

Get information about the GetCurrentThreadCpuTime timer. The fields of thejvmtiTimerInfo structure are filled in with details about the timer. This information is specific to the platform and the implementation ofGetCurrentThreadCpuTime and thus does not vary by thread nor does it vary during a particular invocation of the VM.

Note that the implementations of GetCurrentThreadCpuTime and GetThreadCpuTime may differ, and thus the values returned by GetCurrentThreadCpuTimerInfo andGetThreadCpuTimerInfo may differ -- see GetCurrentThreadCpuTime for more information.

This function may only be called during the start or the live phase.

This function may be called from the callbacks to the Heap iteration functions, or from the event handles for the GarbageCollectionStart,GarbageCollectionFinish, and ObjectFree events.

Get Current Thread CPU Time

jvmtiError
GetCurrentThreadCpuTime(jvmtiEnv* env,
            jlong* nanos_ptr)

Return the CPU time utilized by the current thread.

Note that the GetThreadCpuTime function provides CPU time for any thread, including the current thread. GetCurrentThreadCpuTime exists to support platforms which cannot supply CPU time for threads other than the current thread or which have more accurate information for the current thread (seeGetCurrentThreadCpuTimerInfo vs GetThreadCpuTimerInfo). On many platforms this call will be equivalent to:

  GetThreadCpuTime(env, NULL, nanos_ptr)

This function can be used to cause instrumentation classes to be defined by the bootstrap class loader. Only one segment (typically a directory or JAR file) 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.

This function may only be called during the OnLoad phase.

Parameters
Name	Type	Description
`segment`	`const char*`	The platform-dependent search path segment, encoded as amodified UTF-8 string. Agent passes in an array of `char`.

Errors
This function returns either a universal error or one of the following errors
Error	Description
`JVMTI_ERROR_ILLEGAL_ARGUMENT`	`segment` is an invalid path.
`JVMTI_ERROR_NULL_POINTER`	`segment` is `NULL`.

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 GetSystemPropertyis 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 injava.lang.System.getProperties. JNI method invocation may be used to accessjava.lang.System.getProperties.

The set of properties may grow during execution.

This function may only be called during the OnLoad or the live phase.

Capabilities
Required Functionality

Parameters
Name	Type	Description
`count_ptr`	`jint*`	On return, points to the number of property keys returned. Agent passes a pointer to a `jint`. On return, the `jint` has been set.
`property_ptr`	`char***`	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`.

Errors
This function returns either a universal error or one of the following errors
Error	Description
`JVMTI_ERROR_NULL_POINTER`	`count_ptr` is `NULL`.
`JVMTI_ERROR_NULL_POINTER`	`property_ptr` is `NULL`.

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 thejava.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).

This function may only be called during the OnLoad or the live phase.

Capabilities
Required Functionality

Parameters
Name	Type	Description
`property`	`const char*`	The key of the property to retrieve, encoded as a modified UTF-8 string. Agent passes in an array of `char`.
`value_ptr`	`char**`	On return, points to the property value, encoded as amodified UTF-8 string. Agent passes a pointer to a `char`. On return, the `char`points to a newly allocated array. The array should be freed with `Deallocate`.

Errors
This function returns either a universal error or one of the following errors
Error	Description
`JVMTI_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE`	This property is not available. Use `GetSystemProperties`to find available properties.

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 provides additional information about the event. The callback function is usually called from within application threads and 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, can be viewed as a native method of the current class executed by the event thread.

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 by events may not be referenced after the event returns.

Events can be enabled and disabled with the function SetEventNotificationMode . All events are initially disabled. Thus, in order to receive any event:

If the event requires a capability, that capability must be added withAddCapabilities.
A callback for the event must be set with SetEventCallbacks.
The event must be enabled with SetEventNotificationMode.

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.

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

            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 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.

This event is sent only during the live phase .

            jthread thread,
            jmethodID method,
            jboolean was_popped_by_exception)

Frame pop events are generated upon exit from a single method in a single frame as specified in a call to NotifyFramePop . This is true whether termination is caused by executing its return instruction or by throwing an exception to its caller (see was_popped_by_exception ). However, frame pops caused by the PopFrame function are not reported.

The location reported by GetFrameLocation identifies the executable location in the returning method, immediately prior to the return.

This event is sent only during the live phase .

Event ID:

Event ID:

JVMTI_EVENT_METHOD_ENTRY = 65

Enabling:

All events are initially disabled. Enable globally with
SetEventNotificationMode(JVMTI_ENABLE, 
        JVMTI_EVENT_METHOD_ENTRY, NULL)
          

Capabilities

Capability	Effect
`can_generate_method_entry_events`	Can generate method entry events on entering a method

Parameters
Name	Type	Description
`jni_env`	`JNIEnv *`	The JNI environment of the event (current) thread
`thread`	`jthread`	Thread entering the method

            JNIEnv* jni_env,
            jthread thread,
            jmethodID method,
            jboolean was_popped_by_exception,
            jvalue return_value)

Method exit events are generated upon exit from Java programming language methods (including native methods). This is true whether termination is caused by executing its return instruction or by throwing an exception to its caller (see was_popped_by_exception ).

The method field uniquely identifies the method being entered or exited. The frame field provides access to the stack frame for the method.

The location reported by GetFrameLocation identifies the executable location in the returning method immediately prior to the return.

Enabling method entry or exit events will significantly degrade performance on many platforms and is thus not advised for performance critical usage (such as profiling). Bytecode instrumentation should be used in these cases.

This event is sent only during the live phase .

Event ID:

JVMTI_EVENT_METHOD_EXIT = 66

Enabling:

All events are initially disabled. Enable globally with
SetEventNotificationMode(JVMTI_ENABLE, 
        JVMTI_EVENT_METHOD_EXIT, NULL)
          

Capabilities
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

`method`	`jmethodID`	Method being exited
`was_popped_by_exception`	`jboolean`	True if frame was popped by a thrown exception. False if method exited through its return instruction.
`return_value`	`jvalue`	The return value of the method being exited. Undefined and should not be used if `was_popped_by_exception` is true.

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 save for use later.

This event is sent during the primordial, start or live phase .

Event ID:

JVMTI_EVENT_NATIVE_METHOD_BIND = 67

Enabling:

All events are initially disabled. Enable globally with
SetEventNotificationMode(JVMTI_ENABLE, 
        JVMTI_EVENT_NATIVE_METHOD_BIND, NULL)

`thread`	`jthread`	Thread requesting the bind
`method`	`jmethodID`	Native method being bound
`address`	`void*`	The address the VM is about to bind to--that is, the address of the implementation of the native method
`new_address_ptr`	`void**`	if the referenced address is changed (that is, if`*new_address_ptr` is set), the binding will instead be made to the supplied address.

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. 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.

This event is sent only during the live phase .

JVMTI_EVENT_EXCEPTION = 58

Enabling:

All events are initially disabled. Enable globally with
SetEventNotificationMode(JVMTI_ENABLE, 
        JVMTI_EVENT_EXCEPTION, NULL)
          

Capabilities
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_exception_events`	Can get exception thrown and exception catch events

Parameters
Name	Type	Description
`jni_env`	`JNIEnv *`	The JNI environment of the event (current) thread
`thread`	`jthread`	Thread generating the exception
`method`	`jmethodID`	Method generating the exception
`location`	`jlocation`	Location where exception occurred
`exception`	`jobject`	The exception being thrown
`catch_method`	`jmethodID`	Method that will catch the exception, or `NULL` if no known catch
`catch_location`	`jlocation`	location which will catch the exception or zero if no known catch

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. 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 .

This event is sent only during the live phase .

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.

This event is sent during the start or live phase .

Event ID:

JVMTI_EVENT_CLASS_LOAD = 55

All events are initially disabled. Enable globally with
SetEventNotificationMode(JVMTI_ENABLE,

            JNIEnv* jni_env,
            jthread thread,
            jclass klass)

A class prepare event is generated when class preparation is complete. At this point, class fields, methods, and implemented interfaces are available, and no code from the class has been executed. Since array classes never have fields or methods, class prepare events are not generated for them. Class prepare events are not generated for primitive classes (for example, java.lang.Integer.TYPE ).

This event is sent during the start or live phase .

Event ID:

JVMTI_EVENT_CLASS_PREPARE = 56

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)

Sent when the VM obtains a class file data, but before it constructs the in-memory representation for that class. Also sent when RedefineClasses is 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.

This event may be sent before the VM is initialized. During this time no VM resources should be created. Some classes might not be compatible with the function (eg. ROMized 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. As with all events, agents are called in the order the environment was created.

This event is sent during the primordial, start or live phase .

VM Start Event

void JNICALL
VMStart(jvmtiEnv *jvmti_env,
            JNIEnv* jni_env)

The VM initialization 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.

In the case of VM start-up failure, this event will not be sent.

This event is sent during the start or live phase .

            jthread thread)

The VM initialization event signals the completion of VM initialization. Once 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.

In the case of VM start-up failure, this event will not be sent.

This event is sent only during the live phase .

Compiled Method Unload

void JNICALL
CompiledMethodUnload(jvmtiEnv *jvmti_env,
            jmethodID method,
            const void* code_addr)

Sent when a compiled method is unloaded from memory. This event might not be sent on the thread which performed the unload. This event may be sent sometime after the unload occurs, but will be sent before the memory is reused by a newly generated compiled method. This event may be sent after the class is unloaded.

This event is sent only during the live phase .

            const char* name,
            const void* address,
            jint length)

Sent when a component of the virtual machine is generated dynamically. This does not correspond to Java programming language code that is compiled--see CompiledMethodLoad . This is for native code--for example, an interpreter that is generated differently depending on command-line options.

Note that this event has no controlling capability. If a VM cannot generate these events, it simply does not send any.

VM Object Allocation

void JNICALL
VMObjectAlloc(jvmtiEnv *jvmti_env,

            jobject object,
            jclass object_klass,
            jlong size)

Sent when a method causes the virtual machine to allocate an Object visible to Java programming language code and the allocation is not detectable by other intrumentation mechanisms. 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.

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

This event is sent only during the live phase .

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 .

Garbage Collection Start

void JNICALL
GarbageCollectionStart(jvmtiEnv *jvmti_env)

A Garbage Collection Start event is sent when a full cycle garbage collection 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.

This event is sent only during the live phase .

Event ID:

JVMTI_EVENT_GARBAGE_COLLECTION_START = 81

Enabling:

All events are initially disabled. Enable globally with
SetEventNotificationMode(JVMTI_ENABLE, 
        JVMTI_EVENT_GARBAGE_COLLECTION_START, NULL)
          

Capabilities
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

Parameters
Name	Type	Description

Garbage Collection Finish

void JNICALL
GarbageCollectionFinish(jvmtiEnv *jvmti_env)

A Garbage Collection Finish event is sent when a full garbage collection cycle 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).

This event is sent only during the live phase .

Event ID:

JVMTI_EVENT_GARBAGE_COLLECTION_FINISH = 82

Enabling:

All events are initially disabled. Enable globally with

SetEventNotificationMode(JVMTI_ENABLE, 
        JVMTI_EVENT_GARBAGE_COLLECTION_FINISH, NULL)

Capabilities
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

Constant	Value	Description
`JVMTI_REFERENCE_CLASS`	1	Reference from an object to its class.
`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 thejvmtiObjectReferenceCallback 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 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_ARRAY_ELEMENT`	3	Reference from an array to one of its elements. For references of this kind the `referrer_index` parameter to thejvmtiObjectReferenceCallback is the array index.

`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 thejvmtiObjectReferenceCallback is the index of the static field. The index is based on the order of the directly declared static and instance fields in the class (not inherited fields), starting at zero. See `GetClassFields`.
`JVMTI_REFERENCE_CONSTANT_POOL`	9	Reference from a class to a resolved entry in the constant pool. For references of this kind the`referrer_index` parameter to thejvmtiObjectReferenceCallback is the index into constant pool table of the class, starting at 1.
