System.loadLibrary()是我们在使用Java的JNI机制时，会用到的一个非常重要的函数，它的作用即是把实现了我们在Java code中声明的native方法的那个libraryload进来，或者load其他什么动态连接库。
算是处于好奇吧，我们可以看一下这个方法它的实现，即执行流程。(下面分析的那些code，来自于android 4.2.2 aosp版。)先看一下这个方法的code(在libcore/luni/src/main/java/java/lang/System.java这个文件中)：
/**
* Loads and links the library with the specified name. The mapping of the
* specified library name to the full path for loading the library is
* implementation-dependent.
*
* @param libName
* the name of the library to load.
* @throws UnsatisfiedLinkError
* if the library could no<span style="color:#003399;"></span>t be loaded.
*/
public static void loadLibrary(String libName) {
Runtime.getRuntime().loadLibrary(libName, VMStack.getCallingClassLoader());
}由上面的那段code，可以看到，它的实现非常简单，就只是先调用VMStack.getCallingClassLoader()获取到ClassLoader，然后再把实际要做的事情委托给了Runtime来做而已。接下来我们再看一下Runtime.loadLibrary()的实现(在libcore/luni/src/main/java/java/lang/Runtime.java这个文件中):
/*
* Loads and links a library without security checks.
*/
void loadLibrary(String libraryName, ClassLoader loader) {
if (loader != null) {
String filename = loader.findLibrary(libraryName);
if (filename == null) {
throw new UnsatisfiedLinkError("Couldn't load " + libraryName
+ " from loader " + loader
+ ": findLibrary returned null");
}
String error = nativeLoad(filename, loader);
if (error != null) {
throw new UnsatisfiedLinkError(error);
}
return;
}
String filename = System.mapLibraryName(libraryName);
List<String> candidates = new ArrayList<String>();
String lastError = null;
for (String directory : mLibPaths) {
String candidate = directory + filename;
candidates.add(candidate);
if (new File(candidate).exists()) {
String error = nativeLoad(candidate, loader);
if (error == null) {
return; // We successfully loaded the library. Job done.
}
lastError = error;
}
}
if (lastError != null) {
throw new UnsatisfiedLinkError(lastError);
}
throw new UnsatisfiedLinkError("Library " + libraryName + " not found; tried " + candidates);
}由上面的那段code，我们看到，loadLibrary()可以被看作是一个2步走的过程：
获取到library path。对于这一点，上面的那个函数，依据于所传递的ClassLoader的不同，会有两种不同的方法。如果ClassLoader非空，则会利用ClassLoader的findLibrary()方法来获取library的path。而如果ClassLoader为空，则会首先依据传递进来的library name，获取到library file的name，比如传递“hello”进来，它的library file name，经过System.mapLibraryName(libraryName)将会是“libhello.so”；然后再在一个path list(即上面那段code中的mLibPaths)中查找到这个library file，并最终确定library 的path。
调用nativeLoad()这个native方法来load library
这段code，又牵出几个问题，首先，可用的library path都是哪些，这实际上也决定了，我们的so文件放在哪些folder下，才可以被真正load起来？其次，在native层load library的过程，又实际做了什么事情？下面会对这两个问题，一一的作出解答。
系统的library path
我们由简单到复杂的来看这个问题。先来看一下，在传入的ClassLoader为空的情况(尽管我们知道，在System.loadLibrary()这个case下不会发生)，前面Runtime.loadLibrary()的实现中那个mLibPaths的初始化的过程，在Runtime的构造函数中，如下：
/**
* Prevent this class from being instantiated.
*/
private Runtime(){
String pathList = System.getProperty("java.library.path", ".");
String pathSep = System.getProperty("path.separator", ":");
String fileSep = System.getProperty("file.separator", "/");
mLibPaths = pathList.split(pathSep);
// Add a '/' to the end so we don't have to do the property lookup
// and concatenation later.
for (int i = 0; i < mLibPaths.length; i++) {
if (!mLibPaths[i].endsWith(fileSep)) {
mLibPaths[i] += fileSep;
}
}
}可以看到，那个library path list实际上读取自一个system property。那在android系统中，这个system property的实际内容又是什么呢？dump这些内容出来，就像下面这样：
05-11 07:51:40.974: V/QRCodeActivity(11081): pathList = /vendor/lib:/system/lib
05-11 07:51:40.974: V/QRCodeActivity(11081): pathSep = :
05-11 07:51:40.974: V/QRCodeActivity(11081): fileSep = /
然后是传入的ClassLoader非空的情况，ClassLoader的findLibrary()方法的执行过程。首先看一下它的实现(在libcore/luni/src/main/java/java/lang/ClassLoader.java这个文件中)：
/**
* Returns the absolute path of the native library with the specified name,
* or {@code null}. If this method returns {@code null} then the virtual
* machine searches the directories specified by the system property
* "java.library.path".
* <p>
* This implementation always returns {@code null}.
* </p>
*
* @param libName
* the name of the library to find.
* @return the absolute path of the library.
*/
protected String findLibrary(String libName) {
return null;
}竟然是一个空函数。那系统中实际运行的ClassLoader就是这个吗？我们可以做一个小小的实验，打印系统中实际运行的ClassLoader的String：
ClassLoader classLoader = getClassLoader();
Log.v(TAG, “classLoader = ” + classLoader.toString());
在Galaxy Nexus上执行的结果如下：
05-11 08:18:57.857: V/QRCodeActivity(11556): classLoader = dalvik.system.PathClassLoader[dexPath=/data/app/com.qrcode.qrcode-1.apk,libraryPath=/data/app-lib/com.qrcode.qrcode-1]
看到了吧，android系统中的 ClassLoader真正的实现 在dalvik的dalvik.system.PathClassLoader。打开libcore/dalvik/src/main/java/dalvik/system/PathClassLoader.java来看 PathClassLoader这个class 的实现，可以看到，就只是简单的继承 BaseDexClassLoader而已，没有任何实际的内容 。接下来我们就来看一下 BaseDexClassLoader中 那个 findLibrary() 真正的实现( 在libcore/dalvik/src/main/java/dalvik/system/BaseDexClassLoader.java这个文件中 )：
@Override
public String findLibrary(String name) {
return pathList.findLibrary(name);
}
``
这个方法看上去倒挺简单，不用多做解释。然后来看那个pathList的初始化的过程，在BaseDexClassLoader的构造函数里：
/**
* Constructs an instance.
*
* @param dexPath the list of jar/apk files containing classes and
* resources, delimited by {@code File.pathSeparator}, which
* defaults to {@code “:”} on Android
* @param optimizedDirectory directory where optimized dex files
* should be written; may be {@code null}
* @param libraryPath the list of directories containing native
* libraries, delimited by {@code File.pathSeparator}; may be
* {@code null}
* @param parent the parent class loader
*/
public BaseDexClassLoader(String dexPath, File optimizedDirectory,
String libraryPath, ClassLoader parent) {
super(parent);
this.originalPath = dexPath;
this.originalLibraryPath = libraryPath;
this.pathList =
new DexPathList(this, dexPath, libraryPath, optimizedDirectory);
}
BaseDexClassLoader的构造函数也不用多做解释吧。然后是DexPathList的构造函数：
/**
* Constructs an instance.
*
* @param definingContext the context in which any as-yet unresolved
* classes should be defined
* @param dexPath list of dex/resource path elements, separated by
* {@code File.pathSeparator}
* @param libraryPath list of native library directory path elements,
* separated by {@code File.pathSeparator}
* @param optimizedDirectory directory where optimized {@code .dex} files
* should be found and written to, or {@code null} to use the default
* system directory for same
*/
public DexPathList(ClassLoader definingContext, String dexPath,
String libraryPath, File optimizedDirectory) {
if (definingContext == null) {
throw new NullPointerException(“definingContext == null”);
}
if (dexPath == null) {
throw new NullPointerException("dexPath == null");
}
if (optimizedDirectory != null) {
if (!optimizedDirectory.exists()) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException(
"optimizedDirectory doesn't exist: "
+ optimizedDirectory);
}
if (!(optimizedDirectory.canRead()
&& optimizedDirectory.canWrite())) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException(
"optimizedDirectory not readable/writable: "
+ optimizedDirectory);
}
}
this.definingContext = definingContext;
this.dexElements =
makeDexElements(splitDexPath(dexPath), optimizedDirectory);
this.nativeLibraryDirectories = splitLibraryPath(libraryPath);
}
关于我们的library path的问题，可以只关注最后的那个splitLibraryPath()，这个地方，实际上即是把传进来的libraryPath 又丢给splitLibraryPath来获取library path 的list。可以看一下DexPathList.splitLibraryPath()的实现:
/**
* Splits the given library directory path string into elements
* using the path separator ({@code File.pathSeparator}, which
* defaults to {@code “:”} on Android, appending on the elements
* from the system library path, and pruning out any elements that
* do not refer to existing and readable directories.
*/
private static File[] splitLibraryPath(String path) {
/*
* Native libraries may exist in both the system and
* application library paths, and we use this search order:
*
* 1. this class loader’s library path for application
* libraries
* 2. the VM’s library path from the system
* property for system libraries
*
* This order was reversed prior to Gingerbread; see http://b/2933456.
*/
ArrayList result = splitPaths(
path, System.getProperty(“java.library.path”, “.”), true);
return result.toArray(new File[result.size()]);
}
这个地方，是在用两个部分的library path list来由splitPaths构造最终的那个path list，一个部分是，传进来的library path，另外一个部分是，像我们前面看到的那个，是system property。然后再来看一下DexPathList.splitPaths()的实现:
/**
* Splits the given path strings into file elements using the path
* separator, combining the results and filtering out elements
* that don’t exist, aren’t readable, or aren’t either a regular
* file or a directory (as specified). Either string may be empty
* or {@code null}, in which case it is ignored. If both strings
* are empty or {@code null}, or all elements get pruned out, then
* this returns a zero-element list.
*/
private static ArrayList splitPaths(String path1, String path2,
boolean wantDirectories) {
ArrayList result = new ArrayList();
splitAndAdd(path1, wantDirectories, result);
splitAndAdd(path2, wantDirectories, result);
return result;
}
总结一下，ClassLoader的那个findLibrary()实际上会在两个部分的folder中去寻找System.loadLibrary()要load的那个library，一个部分是，构造ClassLoader时，传进来的那个library path，即是app folder，另外一个部分是system property。在android系统中，查找要load的library，实际上会在如下3个folder中进行：
/vendor/lib
/system/lib
/data/app-lib/com.qrcode.qrcode-1
上面第3个item只是一个例子，每一个app，它的那个app library path的最后一个部分都会是特定于那个app的。至于说，构造BaseDexClassLoader时的那个libraryPath 到底是怎么来的，那可能就会牵扯到android本身更复杂的一些过程了，在此不再做更详细的说明。
Native 层load library的过程
然后来看一下native层，把so文件load起的过程，先来一下nativeLoad()这个函数的实现(在JellyBean/dalvik/vm/native/java_lang_Runtime.cpp这个文件中)：
/*
* static String nativeLoad(String filename, ClassLoader loader)
*
* Load the specified full path as a dynamic library filled with
* JNI-compatible methods. Returns null on success, or a failure
* message on failure.
*/
static void Dalvik_java_lang_Runtime_nativeLoad(const u4* args,
JValue* pResult)
{
StringObject* fileNameObj = (StringObject*) args[0];
Object* classLoader = (Object*) args[1];
char* fileName = NULL;
StringObject* result = NULL;
char* reason = NULL;
bool success;
assert(fileNameObj != NULL);
fileName = dvmCreateCstrFromString(fileNameObj);
success = dvmLoadNativeCode(fileName, classLoader, &reason);
if (!success) {
const char* msg = (reason != NULL) ? reason : "unknown failure";
result = dvmCreateStringFromCstr(msg);
dvmReleaseTrackedAlloc((Object*) result, NULL);
}
free(reason);
free(fileName);
RETURN_PTR(result);
}
可以看到，nativeLoad()实际上只是完成了两件事情，第一，是调用dvmCreateCstrFromString()将Java 的library path String 转换到native的String，然后将这个path传给dvmLoadNativeCode()做load，dvmLoadNativeCode()这个函数的实现在dalvik/vm/Native.cpp中，如下：
/*
* Load native code from the specified absolute pathname. Per the spec,
* if we’ve already loaded a library with the specified pathname, we
* return without doing anything.
*
* TODO? for better results we should absolutify the pathname. For fully
* correct results we should stat to get the inode and compare that. The
* existing implementation is fine so long as everybody is using
* System.loadLibrary.
*
* The library will be associated with the specified class loader. The JNI
* spec says we can’t load the same library into more than one class loader.
*
* Returns “true” on success. On failure, sets *detail to a
* human-readable description of the error or NULL if no detail is
* available; ownership of the string is transferred to the caller.
*/
bool dvmLoadNativeCode(const char* pathName, Object* classLoader,
char** detail)
{
SharedLib* pEntry;
void* handle;
bool verbose;
/* reduce noise by not chattering about system libraries */
verbose = !!strncmp(pathName, "/system", sizeof("/system")-1);
verbose = verbose && !!strncmp(pathName, "/vendor", sizeof("/vendor")-1);
if (verbose)
ALOGD("Trying to load lib %s %p", pathName, classLoader);
*detail = NULL;
/*
* See if we've already loaded it. If we have, and the class loader
* matches, return successfully without doing anything.
*/
pEntry = findSharedLibEntry(pathName);
if (pEntry != NULL) {
if (pEntry->classLoader != classLoader) {
ALOGW("Shared lib '%s' already opened by CL %p; can't open in %p",
pathName, pEntry->classLoader, classLoader);
return false;
}
if (verbose) {
ALOGD("Shared lib '%s' already loaded in same CL %p",
pathName, classLoader);
}
if (!checkOnLoadResult(pEntry))
return false;
return true;
}
/*

* Failures here are expected when java.library.path has several entries
* and we have to hunt for the lib.
*
* The current version of the dynamic linker prints detailed information

* is listed and is not being overrun by the previous entry (if
* loading suddenly stops working on a prelinked library, this is
* a good one to check)
* - write a trivial app that calls sleep() then dlopen(), attach
* to it with "strace -p <pid>" while it sleeps, and watch for
* attempts to open nonexistent dependent shared libs

哇塞，dvmLoadNativeCode()这个函数还真的是有点复杂，那就挑那些跟我们的JNI比较紧密相关的逻辑来看吧。可以认为这个函数做了下面的这样一些事情：
调用dlopen() 打开一个so文件，创建一个handle。
调用dlsym()函数，查找到so文件中的JNI_OnLoad()这个函数的函数指针。
执行上一步找到的那个JNI_OnLoad()函数。
至此，大体可以结束System.loadLibrary()的执行过程的分析。
