Room 4B - Payara |
Wednesday at 09:00 - 10:00 |
If you never goofed around with assembler or machine code Java bytecode can seem an obscure piece of low-level magic. But sometimes things go really wrong and understanding that bit may be what stands between you and solving the problem at hand. This talk will introduce you the JVM and bytecode basics using tiny code examples. It's my hope that you'll walk out armed for the next battle with low-level issues. From the basics, to more advanced gotchas: * How to obtain the bytecode listings * How to read the bytecode * How the language constructs are mirrored by the compiler: local variables, method calls, autoboxing, exception handling, etc * How to manipulate Java bytecode at the load time in order to achieve the customized behavior |
