Page edited by Erik Brangs - "add note about bootimage compilation being single-threaded" General project statusJikes RVM is currently the most popular ... [More] platform for virtual machine research. This popularity is reflected in the particpation on the mailing lists where most questions can be answered.Memory management research is a particular strength of the Jikes RVM. The Memory Management Toolkit (MMtk) provides a well-rounded selection of garbage collectors and the compiler replay feature enables researchers to control mutator variation. The MMTk test harness can be used to test collectors.In contrast to this, the compilers are currently a weak spot in the Jikes RVM. For example, the Static Single Assignment (SSA) form in the compilers is currently disabled because of bugs.The Jikes RVM is not state-of-the-art in some areas. In particular, Jikes RVM currently does not provide 64-bit Intel Support. Another big limitation is the lack of support for the OpenJDK class library. The project has received community contributions to improve those shortcomings but the code is not yet in the mainline. The Jikes RVM would also profit from efforts directed to stability improvements and bugfixes. For example, Jikes RVM currently cannot run all of the Dacapo 9.12 benchmarks.The Jikes RVM team aims to provide at least one release every year.Note: The information on this page refers to the status in the code repository and not to the status in the current release.Note: If you want to help, please see How to Help or inquire via the mailing lists.Near-term goalsAdd support for the OpenJDK class librariesAdd Intel 64-bit supportPreliminary long-term goals (still need further discussion)Improve stabilityImprove compliance with JVM specWrite unit tests for all classesImprove and extend test suitesAdd support for relevant new platforms (ARM?)Merge relevant changes from MRPDetailed project statusThis section provides more detailed project status information for the components.

Scalar SSA form may be fixable; Heap SSA form is considered too brokenMany optimizations are disabled because they rely on SSA or are considered too buggySome standard optimizations are missing, e.g. Global Array Bound check eliminationJava Memory Model (JMM) is not correctly implementedBootimage compilation is single-threaded by default because it is too unrealiable with multiple threadsInfrastructureRegression tests are run regulary. The results are displayed with Cattrack, a Ruby-on-Rails application.There's currently no infrastructure for CI: Core team members need to ensure they run the pre-commit tests themselves.More regression machines would be useful, in particular PowerPC machines that can be accessed by all team membersCurrently no code review tools in useSome unit tests (via JUnit) exist but most classes don't have unit tests View Online · View Changes Online [Less]

Page edited by Erik Brangs - "replace JIRA Confluence links with normal web links because the former don't work on the main website" This page contains some ... [More] debugging hints for Jikes RVM. It is assumed that you are familiar with debugging techniques. If you aren't, it is advisable to read a book about the subject.Debugging Helpers provided by Jikes RVMAssertionsAll debugging should be done with assertion-enabled builds if possible. You can also try using ExtremeAssertion builds.OptionsThe Jikes RVM and MMTk provide several options to print out debugging information.If you're debugging a problem in the optimizing compiler, you can also print out the IR.You can also use the options to change the behaviour in various ways (e.g. switch off certain optimizations) if you have a suspicion about the causes of the problem.Debugger ThreadJikes has an interactive debugger that you can invoke by sending SIGQUIT to Jikes while it's running:pkill -SIGQUIT JikesRVMIn previous versions of Jikes, that stopped all threads and provided an interactive prompt, but currently it just dumps the state of the VM and continues immediately (that's a known issue: RVM-570).Debug fields in classesSeveral classes in the code base provide static boolean fields like DEBUG or VERBOSE which can be set to get more debugging information.Shutdown hooksYou can write custom shutdown hooks to dump gathered information when the VM terminates. Note that shutdown hooks won't be run if the VM is terminated via a signal (see RVM-555)Do not use the ExitMonitor from the Callbacks class because it's less reliable.TestsThe test coverage is poor at the moment. Nevertheless, if you're very lucky, one of the smaller test cases will fail. See Testing the RVM for details on how to run the tests and define your own.ToolsThere are different tools for debugging Jikes RVM:GDBThere is a limited amount of C code used to start Jikes RVM. The rvm script will start Jikes RVM using GDB (the GNU debugger) if the first argument is -gdb. Break points can be set in the C code, variables, registers can be expected in the C code. rvm -gdb <RVM args> <name of Java application> <application args> The dynamically created Java code doesn't provide GDB with the necessary symbol information for debugging. As some of the Java code is created in the boot image, it is possible to find the location of some Java methods and to break upon them. To build with debug symbols, set rvm.debug-symbols to true.Details of how to manually walk the stack in GDB can be found hererdbrdb is a debugger that was developed specifically for Jikes RVM. It allows you to inspect the bootimage. If you're running Mac OS, you can also use it to debug a running Jikes RVM.Other ToolsOther tools, such as valgrind, are occasionally useful in debugging or understanding the behaviour of JikesRVM.  The rvm script facilitates using these tools with the '-wrap' argument. rvm -wrap "<wrapper-script-and-args>" <rest of command line> For example, cachegrind can be invoked by rvm -wrap "/path/to/valgrind --tool=cachegrind" <java-command-line> The command and arguments immediately after the -wrap argument will be inserted into the script on the command line that invokes the boot image runner.  One useful variant is rvm -wrap echo <rest of command line> Specific Debugging HintsOptimizing Compiler ProblemsTo debug problems in the optimizing compiler, use a configuration whose bootimage is compiled with the baseline compiler and which contains the AOS (prototype-opt, BaseAdaptive*). Faster configurations (such as development) have the drawback of a longer bootimage compilation time which won't be amortized unless the problem occurs late.It is advisable to use -X:vm:errorsFatal=true when debugging optimizing compiler problems. This will prevent the optimizing compiler from reverting to the baseline compiler for certain kinds of errors.It is strongly recommended to run with advice file generation (see Experimental Guidelines). The produced advice files can then be used to reproduce the bug. If this step is successful, the advice files should be minimized to determine the set of methods that cause the failures. This can be done automatically (e.g. via delta debugging) or by hand.You can also switch on paranoid IR verification in IR.java. Note that this is not well tested at the moment because we don't run any regression tests with it. Use a BaseAdaptive* configuration if you switch this on (bootimage builds with the optimizing compiler and paranoid IR fail at the time of this writing).DeadlocksTo debug a deadlock, run the VM under a time limit and send SIGQUIT (to force a thread dump) a few seconds before killing the VM. On Linux, you can use the timelimit program (should be available in the repositories for Debian-based distributions).Excluding Garbage Collection problemsThe garbage collectors that are included with the Jikes RVM are generally stable. Therefore, if you see a problem that does not occur during the collection itself, it is likely not a garbage collection problem. You can exclude problems related to garbage collection by building with other collectors. For example, you can choose a collector that doesn't move objects (e.g. MarkSweep) or a collector that doesn't require write barriers (e.g. Immix instead of GenImmix).

Page edited by Erik Brangs - "move hints for getting contributions merged into a separate section " Contributing DocumentationIf you want to help us improve ... [More] our User Guide and other online documentation, please contact a Steering Committee Member and ask for editing permissions for our wiki space.Contributing CodeIf you have extended Jikes RVM and would like to contribute your extension back to the community, please use the patch tracker to submit your contribution. Please include the following:Your contribution in the form of patches or bundles (see below)The appropriate Statement of Origin (see below)A description of the functionality you are contributingThe version of Jikes RVM used to create your patchYour contribution will be licensed under the EPL (Eclipse Public License), the license used for Jikes RVM. The license has been approved by the OSI (Open Source Initiative) as a fully certified open source license. If your contribution is included in the system, you will be acknowledged on the contributors web page, along with getting the satisfaction of making the world a better place.Getting your code contribution mergedYou should make it easy for members of the Jikes RVM team to merge your code contribution.At minimum, you must do the following:Make sure that your contribution follows our coding style. Use Checkstyle (e.g. via "ant checkstyle") to check for common errors.After verifying that there are no checkstyle errors, run the pre-commit tests on your machine.After the pre-commit run is done, you can find the report at results/tests/pre-commit/Report.html in your jikesrvm directory. It should read something like "Total Success Rate: 128/128" (numbers from August 2012). The report will also display the revision number, if applicable. If the revision number ends with a +, you have uncommited changes in your working copy. Check that the uncommited changes are not supposed to be in your patch.The Jikes RVM team will check for those points.You can do the following things to further increase the chances that your contribution will be merged:Split your contribution in a set of patches with each patch representing a commit. The size of the patches is not important. However, it is important that each patch contains exactly one conceptual change. One way to check this is to think of a summary message for each patch. If your summary message contains an "and", you should check if there is a sensible way to split up your patch. The set of patches should show the development of the feature as it would have been ideally, i.e. you should remove dead ends. Put the reasoning for the changes (and why alternative solutions are not appropriate) in the commit messages. If you are unfamiliar with preparing patches for open source projects, take a look at this article from the Linux Foundation. Write useful commit messages. Use the first sentence to give a summary of the issue. If you are fixing a JIRA issue, please mention it in the description. Example commit message Icon RVM-XXXX : Fixed a bug in foo.Longer description of the change, the reasons for the change and the consequences. This part can span multiple paragraphs and is optional: you will need to decide what's important for people looking at the commit. Consider providing a README if your chosen patch format does not support commit messages.Run appropriate existing tests other than pre-commit. This is especially useful if your changes touch an area of the code that is not covered by pre-commit (e.g. alternative garbage collectors).Provide automated tests for your contribution.Follow up on your patch until it is in the mainline. This may include answering questions, reworking your patch and gently reminding the developers of your contribution.Contributing patchesPatches should apply against a revision of the main repository. This ensures that your patch can always be applied easily. You can use hg export to create patch files from your commits.Contributing bundlesIf you contribute your changes in the form of mercurial bundles, you must make sure that the parent changeset of your first changeset is in the main repository. If it is not, hg unbundle will fail and your bundles cannot be imported.Statement of originAll contributions must include one of the Statements of Origin below. Insert your name(s) in the first blank(s) and a high-level summary in the blank in a (i) . Examples of a high-level summary are "Fixed bug in scheduler", "Extended type propagation in optimizing compiler", or "Added new garbage collector".If your contribution is owned by your employer, someone authorized by your employer to make such a decision must add a comment to the patch in the tracker stating that you have permission to contribute it.Statement of Origin: Single Contributor Single Contributor for all Contributions Multiple Contributors View Online · View Changes Online [Less]

Page edited by Erik Brangs - "corrections to previous edit" Jikes™ RVM executes Java virtual machine byte code instructions from .class files. It does not ... [More] compile Java™ source code. Therefore, you must compile all Java source files into bytecode using your favorite Java compiler.For example, to run class foo with source code in file foo.java: % javac foo.java % rvm foo The general syntax is rvm [rvm options...] class [args...] You may choose from a myriad of options for the rvm command-line. Options fall into two categories: standard and non-standard. Non-standard options are preceded by "-X:" and differ between virtual machines (e.g. Jikes RVM's options may not be available in HotSpot and vice-versa).Standard Command-Line OptionsWe currently support a subset of the JDK 1.5 standard options. Below is a list of all options and their descriptions. Unless otherwise noted each option is supported in Jikes RVM.OptionDescription{-cp or -classpath} <directories and zip/jar files separated by ":">set search path for application classes and resources-D<name>=<value>set a system property-verbose:[ class | gc | jni ]enable verbose output-versionprint current VM version and terminate the run-showversionprint current VM version and continue running-fullversionlike "-version", but with more information-? or -helpprint help message-Xprint help on non-standard options-jarexecute a jar file-javaagent:<jarpath>[=<options>]load Java programming language agent, see java.lang.instrumentNon-Standard Command-Line OptionsIt is generally the case that the non-standard options may change from one release to another. However, the core and memory non-standard options that are listed here don't change often.The bulk of the non-standard options are grouped according to the subsystem that they control. See below for details.Core Non-Standard Command-Line OptionsOptionDescription-X:verbosePrint out additional lowlevel information for GC and hardware trap handling-X:verboseBoot=<number>Print out additional information while VM is booting, using verbosity level <number>-X:sysLogfile=<filename>Write standard error message to <filename>-X:ic=<filename>Read boot image code from <filename>-X:id=<filename>Read boot image data from <filename>-X:ir=<filename>Read boot image ref map from <filename>-X:vmClasses=<path>Load the org.jikesrvm.* and java.* classes from <path>-X:processors=<number|"all">The number of processors that the garbage collector will useMemory Non-Standard Command-Line OptionsOptionDescription-Xms<number><unit>Initial size of heap where <number> is an integer, an extended-precision floating point or a hexadecimal value and <unit> is one of T (Terabytes), G (Gigabytes), M (Megabytes), pages (of size 4096), K (Kilobytes) or <no unit> for bytes-Xmx<number><unit>Maximum size of heap. See above for definition of <number> and <unit>Subsystem Non-Standard Command-Line OptionsThe other non-standard command line options are not listed here because they will change from time to time. To get a current list of these options, you can do the following:To find out which subsystems are available in the image you're using: rvm -X To get information about the options for a specific subsystem (e.g. the garbage collection subsystem) rvm -X:gc:help To find out the current values of the options for a specific subystem (e.g. the optimizing compiler subsystem) rvm -X:opt:printOptions Running Jikes RVM with valgrind Jikes RVM can run under valgrind, as of SVN revision 6791 (29-Aug-2007).  Applying a patch of this revision to release 3.2.1 should also produce a working system.  Versions of valgrind CVS prior to release 3.0 are also known to have worked.To run a Jikes RVM build with valgrind, use the -wrap flag to invoke valgrind, eg rvm -wrap "path/to/valgrind --smc-check=all <valgrind-options>" <jikesrvm-options> ... this will insert the invocation of valgrind at the appropriate place for it to operate on Jikes RVM proper rather than a wrapper script. Under some circumstances, valgrind will load shared object libraries or allocate memory in areas of the heap that conflict with Jikes RVM.  Using the flag -X:gc:eagerMmapSpaces=true will prevent and/or detect this.  If this flag reveals errors while mapping the spaces, you will need to rearrange the heap to avoid the addresses that valgrind is occupying.
