The Need for Library Migration
Tiny embedded systems may need to save memory and cannot hold full Libraries.
Some embedded systems may have restricted functionality.– These systems may then be unable to handle the
code in the Libraries. (such as floating point numbers)
LIBRARIESJAVA
??? ?X = (int) 10.5;
How should libraries be edited?
1. Must remove all unsupported code.
2. While remaining syntactically correct.
3. And also, it must keep maximum functionality.
Concept of correct editing. (Example: remove “float”)
1. Must remove all unsupported code.
2. While remaining syntactically correct.
3. And also, it must keep maximum functionality.
Transforming Java ClassesWith automation
There are many steps to automate such processes.
One such tool is the class parser included with Sun’s compiler “javap.”
How do I start using javap?
First you must compile the java file using javac– Example:
Compiling will generate a class file of the java file.– Shown:
Now you are able to run javap on the class name.– Example:
What does javap produce?
With no options, javap simply shows the fields and methods in the class.
Without options, we do not have a clear view of the class, which is we use the -verbose option.
Javap -verbose Cafe
Constant pool
Fields and Methods (with bytecodes)
Bellow are snapshots from using javap.
Example of javap
This walk-through will be done with the java file shown on the right:
After Compiling… “javap TinyCafe”produces:
Example, continued:“javap -verbose TinyCafe”
Constant pool:
This applies to all the methods and fields in the Constant pool.
Thus, all the information is stored in the comment
Other issues….Constructor methods can be tricky.
“javap -verbose FunkyCafe.java”
We see that this line is NOT within the body
(between first and last line)
Thus, the method is NOT dependent on this float.
Huge Difference… same bytecodesConstructor methods can be tricky.
“javap –verbose” on FunkyCafe3.java & FunkyCafe4.java
Impossible to tell?
SOLUTION:
Pretty Print File
To Remove
Confusion!
IT’S THE SAME!
