1. Lecture 18: 0xCAFEBABE (Java Byte Codes) David Evans http://www.cs.virginia.edu/evans CS201j: Engineering Software University of Virginia Computer Science

2. Menu • Running Programs • Crash Course in Architecture (CS333) • Crash Course in Compilers (CS571) • Java Virtual Machine • Byte Codes CS 201J Fall 2003

3. Computer Architecture Processor does computation Memory stores bits Input Devices (mouse, keyboard, accelerometer) get input from user and environment Output Devices (display, speakers) present output to user CS 201J Fall 2003

4. Central Processing Unit (CPU) CS 201J Fall 2003

5. Intel 4004 • First general purpose microprocessor, 1971 • 4-bit data • 46 instructions • 8-bit instructions! CS 201J Fall 2003

6. PC Motherboard Memory CPU From http://www.cyberiapc.com/hardwarebeg.htm CS 201J Fall 2003

7. Inside the CPU • Registers • Loads and decodes instructions from memory • ALU: Arithmetic Logic Unit • Does arithmetic • Can only operate on values in registers • Must load values from memory into registers before computing with them CS 201J Fall 2003

8. Compiler • Translates a program in a high-level language into machine instructions • Calling convention • How are parameters passed to functions • How is the stack managed to return • Register allocation • Figure out how to use registers efficiently CS 201J Fall 2003

10. Java Virtual Machine CS 201J Fall 2003

11. Java Ring (1998) CS 201J Fall 2003

12. Java Card CS 201J Fall 2003

13. Java Virtual Machine • Small and simple to implement • All VMs will run all programs the same way • Secure CS 201J Fall 2003

14. Implementing the JavaVM load class into memory set the instruction pointer to point to the beginning of main do { fetch the next instruction execute that instruction } while (there is more to do); Some other issues we will talk about Thursday and next week: Verification – need to check byte codes satisfy security policy Garbage collection – need to reclaim unused storage CS 201J Fall 2003

15. Java Byte Codes • Stack-based virtual machine • Small instruction set: 202 instructions (all are 1 byte opcode + operands) • Intel x86: ~280 instructions (1 to 17 bytes long!) • Memory is typed • Every Java class file begins with magic number 3405691582 = 0xCAFEBABE in base 16 CS 201J Fall 2003

16. Stack-Based Computation • push – put something on the top of the stack • pop – get and remove the top of the stack Stack push 2 5 2 push 3 3 add Does 2 pops, pushes sum CS 201J Fall 2003

17. Some Java Instructions CS 201J Fall 2003

18. Some Java Instructions Constant may be an int, float or String ldc “Hello” ldc 201 The String is really a reference to an entry in the string constant table! CS 201J Fall 2003

19. Arithmetic iconst_2 iconst_3 iadd CS 201J Fall 2003

20. Arithmetic CS 201J Fall 2003

21. Java Byte Code Instructions • 0: nop • 1-20: putting constants on the stack • 96-119: arithmetic on ints, longs, floats, doubles • What other kinds of instructions do we need? CS 201J Fall 2003

22. Other Instruction Classes • Control Flow (~20 instructions) • if, goto, return • Method Calls (4 instructions) • Loading and Storing Variables (65 instructions) • Creating objects (1 instruction) • Using object fields (4 instructions) • Arrays (3 instructions) CS 201J Fall 2003

23. Control Flow • ifeq <label> Pop an int off the stack. If it is zero, jump to the label. Otherwise, continue normally. • if_icmple <label> Pop two ints off the stack. If the second one is <= the first one, jump to the label. Otherwise, continue normally. CS 201J Fall 2003

24. Method Calls • invokevirtual <method> • Invokes the method <method> on the parameters and object on the top of the stack. • Finds the appropriate method at run-time based on the actual type of the this object. invokevirtual <Method void println(java.lang.String)> CS 201J Fall 2003

25. Method Calls • invokestatic <method> • Invokes a static (class) method <method> on the parameters on the top of the stack. • Finds the appropriate method at run-time based on the actual type of the this object. CS 201J Fall 2003

26. Example public class Sample1 { static public void main (String args[]) { System.err.println ("Hello!"); System.exit (1); } } CS 201J Fall 2003

27. public class Sample1 { static public void main (String args[]) { System.err.println ("Hello!"); System.exit (1); } } > javap -c Sample1 Compiled from Sample1.java public class Sample1 extends java.lang.Object { public Sample1(); public static void main(java.lang.String[]); } Method Sample1() 0 aload_0 1 invokespecial #1 <Method java.lang.Object()> 4 return Method void main(java.lang.String[]) 0 getstatic #2 <Field java.io.PrintStream err> 3 ldc #3 <String "Hello!"> 5 invokevirtual #4 <Method void println(java.lang.String)> 8 iconst_1 9 invokestatic #5 <Method void exit(int)> 12 return CS 201J Fall 2003

28. Referencing Memory • iload <varnum> • Pushes the int in local variable <varnum> (1 bytes) on the stack • istore <varnum> • Pops the int on the top of the stack and stores it in local variable <varnum> CS 201J Fall 2003

29. Referencing Example Method void main(java.lang.String[]) 0 iconst_2 1 istore_1 2 iconst_3 3 istore_2 4 iload_1 5 iload_2 6 iadd 7 istore_3 8 getstatic #2 <Field java.io.PrintStream err> 11 new #3 <Class java.lang.StringBuffer> 14 dup 15 invokespecial #4 <Method java.lang.StringBuffer()> 18 ldc #5 <String "c: "> 20 invokevirtual #6 <Method java.lang.StringBuffer append(java.lang.String)> 23 iload_3 24 invokevirtual #7 <Method java.lang.StringBuffer append(int)> 27 invokevirtual #8 <Method java.lang.String toString()> 30 invokevirtual #9 <Method void println(java.lang.String)> 33 return public class Locals1 { static public void main (String args[]) { int a = 2; int b = 3; int c = a + b; System.err.println ("c: " + c); } } CS 201J Fall 2003

30. Charge • PS6 will involve reading and writing Java byte codes • Use javap –c <classname> to look at what the javac compiler produces for your code • Thursday: what would this program do? Method void main(java.lang.String[]) 0 iconst_2 1 iadd 2 return CS 201J Fall 2003
