DCEVM

This project is a fork of original DCEVM project.

The purpose of the project is to maintain enhanced class redefinition functionality for OpenJDK HotSpot 7/8.

Supported versions

pathes/ contains patches for all supported versions. Each patch is named by concatenating prefix full or light with the OpenJDK HotSpot tag. full patches support full redefenition capabilities (including removal of superclasses, for example). light patches are easier to maintain, but they only support limited functionality (generally, additions to class hierarchies are fine, removals are not).

HotSpot tag is the name of the tag in the corresponding HotSpot Mercurial repository (Java 8/Java 7).

Building

General Requirements

You need the following software to build DCEVM:

  • Java 7 or later. If you intend to run tests, it should be one of the supported versions (see list of patches/)
  • C++ compiler toolchain (gcc). There is no strict version requirement except that it should be supported by HotSpot build scripts.
  • Mercurial

Compiling DCEVM

  • Configure version you want in gradle.properties.
  • Run ./gradlew patch to retrieve HotSpot sources and patch them.
  • Run ./gradlew compileFastdebug to build fastdebug version or ./gradlew compileProduct to build product version.
  • Compiled libraries are placed in hotspot/build/fastdebug or hotspot/build/product.
  • Installing DCEVM

  • Replace libjvm.so/jvm.dll/libjvm.dylib in the target JRE.

  • Run java -version, it should include Dynamic Code Evolution string.

Or you can install DCEVM using the gradle script:

  • Run ./gradlew installFastdebug -PtargetJre=$JAVA_HOME/jre or ./gradlew installProduct -PtargetJre=$JAVA_HOME/jre
  • DCEVM will be installed as “alternative” JVM. To use it, add -XXaltjvm=dcevm

Testing DCEVM

  • Configure version you want in gradle.properties.
  • Set JAVA_HOME to point to JDK you want to test against (should be compatible with the version you set in gradle.properties).
  • Run ./gradlew patch to retrieve HotSpot sources and patch them.
  • Run ./gradlew test to run tests.
  • Tests reports will be in dcevm/build/reports/tests/index.html

To run tests from IDE, you need:

  • Run ./gradlew agent:build to build redefinition agent code.
  • Add JVM argument to use redefinition agent (-javaagent:agent/build/libs/agent.jar).
  • Add JVM argument to DCEVM VM if installed side-by-side (-XXaltjvm=dcevm).
