DESCRIPTION:
If you're writing a Java bytecode interpreter--or a compiler that generates binary files for such an interpreter--The Java Virtual Machine Specification has the information you need. The authors explain how to carry out loading and linking operations on the objects a ass file defines. They provide information on creating such a file as output from a Java compiler, and also give lots of data on how a Java interpreter should examine a ass file to verify its validity and trustworthiness. The latter half of The Java Virtual Machine Specification is pure reference--it's a list of all Java opcodes, their pur
This second edition specifies the newest version of the Java virtual machine and provides a fascinating view into the inner workings of the Java 2 platform. The Java virtual machine is also responsible for the compactness of applications targeting the Java 2 platform, and is the basis for its security capabilities. You will find an entire chapter of examples that demonstrate how to compile code written in the Java progr. This book was written by those directly responsible for the design and implementation of the Java virtual machine, and is the complete and definitive specification for the technology. In this book you will find comprehensive coverage of the class file format, the hardware, operating system, and implementation-independent binary format for compiled code. The authors fully describe the instruction set of the Java virtual machine. It is an essential reference for writers of compilers for the Java programming language and implementors of the Java virtual machine. The nucleus of the Java(TM) 2 platform, the Java(TM) virtual machine is the technology that enables the Java 2 platform to host applications on any computer or operating system without rewriting or recompiling
A Customer said Excellent reference for the JVM. If you're writing a Java compiler or Java Virtual Machine, this book is a must-have. It's also great for the serious Java programmer who is interested in the "guts" of how Java works. But if you want a tutorial on the JVM, you'll be better served by another book. Before you buy this book, you should also know that the on-line version is freely available.. A Customer said pretty bad. the authors simply don't know how to present their stuff in an orderly fashion. looks like a rushed job.go look at John Gough's "Compiling for the .NET Common Language Runtime", which treats a similar topic, and you see the difference. or if you prefer a formal style, look at "Java and the Java Virtual Machine: Definition, Verification, Validation".. Cons: a bit dated. Pros: 1) Clearly Cons: a bit dated.Pros: 1) Clearly written 2) Tons of data, so subtle that I re-read a couple of times and was still extracting more information 3) The *index* is Cons: a bit dated.
