Btrace使用

前阵子排查一个OOM 的问题，刚好和hsf有点关系，于是找毕玄帮忙查找问题，看看hsf 的代码，看到毕玄在用Btrace来跟踪方法的调用，觉得此法还是不错滴，以前都是人肉看现象推测，汗，再次记录下。

BTrace is a safe, dynamic tracing tool for Java. BTrace works by dynamically (bytecode) instrumenting classes of a running Java program. BTrace inserts tracing actions into the classes of a running Java program and hotswaps the traced program classes.

 

BTrace 可以在不改代码、不重启应用的情况下，动态的查看程序运行细节的工具，可以蛮方便食用的。

其官方网站在此：http://kenai.com/projects/btrace/，

具体的实施操作细则可以参考：

下面是摘抄的写一个BTrace类的主意事项：

 

a BTrace class

• can not create new objects.
• can not create new arrays.
• can not throw exceptions.
• can not catch exceptions.
• can not make arbitrary instance or static method calls - only the public static methods of com.sun.btrace.BTraceUtils class or methods declared in the same program may be called from a BTrace program.
• (pre 1.2) can not have instance fields and methods. Only static public void returning methods are allowed for a BTrace class. And all fields have to be static.
• can not assign to static or instance fields of target program's classes and objects. But, BTrace class can assign to it's own static fields ("trace state" can be mutated).
• can not have outer, inner, nested or local classes.
• can not have synchronized blocks or synchronized methods.
• can not have loops (for, while, do..while)
• can not extend arbitrary class (super class has to be java.lang.Object)
• can not implement interfaces.
• can not contains assert statements.
• can not use class literals.
