bytecode

As we know that we do not have to add any return type to a Java constructor. class Sample{ ..... Sample(){ ........ } } In Objective C, if we create a constructor, it returns a pointer to its class. But it is not compulsory, I think. AClass *anObject = [[AClass alloc] init];//init is the constructor with return type a pointer to AClass Similarly, Is the constructor converted to a method which return a reference to its own class?? Like this: class Sample{ ..... Sample Sample(){ ........ return this; } } Does the compiler add a return type a reference to same class to constructor? What is

What could help me in helping writing highly compact(least byte code count) programs in Java. Possibly I'm looking at: A tool that tells me how many byte codes a Class or a method generates. To visualize byte codes. The tool could tell me which areas need optimization in terms of byte code count or cpu cycles. A byte code chart would also help indicating what byte codes exist in Java and its various properties. Any existing tools that would help me to realize this? Eclipse has a Byte Code Outline plug-in that shows you what Java byte code will be produced from your source code. The javap

I am working on a project where there are a lot of objects that are created by a library, and I have no access to the creation process of these objects. The following snippets serve as a good example to illustrate my problem. Code: public class Clazz { //The contents of Clazz are irrelevant //Clazz is NOT my class. I have no access to its internal structure. //However, I do have access to Clazz objects that were created elsewhere. } ExampleInterface is an interface that Clazz may or may not implement at compile time. Code: public interface ExampleInterface { public void run(); } The following

I'm looking for a way to compile C source code into high-performance Java bytecode. I've successfully used NestedVM , but the performance hit is not acceptable for a project I'm working on. I've also seen various open source projects aimed at this problem and a couple of commercial products. This SO question deals with general problem of converting non-Java into Java source, but I only want to go from C to Java bytecode. What's the best way to compile C source code into high-performance, pure Java bytecode? Charlie Martin Um, that's called "a compiler". You're asking for a C compiler that

I searched on the Web and came to know that PHP code can be compiled to have performance boost. But how to do it? Can I compile both procedural and object oriented PHP code? Pascal MARTIN The basic idea, when executing a PHP script is in two steps : First: the PHP code, written in plain-text, is compiled to opcodes Then: those opcodes are executed . When you have one PHP script, as long as it is not modified, the opcodes will always be the same ; so, doing the compilation phase each time that script is to be executed is kind of a waste of CPU-time. To prevent that redundant-compilation, there

From what I've read, there is a llvm program that converts java bytecode to llvm's intermediate form called class2llvm. My question is, how do I access this. What front end do I have to install in order to access this. VMkit is their implementation of a JVM, but I am looking for how to compile the java source code with llvm, not how to run it. The Java frontend translates Java bytecode (.class files) into LLVM bytecode. Take a look at this link: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/java/trunk/docs/java-frontend.txt lei_z You may take a look at dragonegg , which enables llvm to use gcc's frontends
