这是在frontend.cpp(vm\compiler)里面的情况:
/* Convert LIR into machine code. Loop for recoverable retries */
do {
dvmCompilerAssembleLIR(&cUnit, info);
cUnit.assemblerRetries++;
if (cUnit.printMe && cUnit.assemblerStatus != kSuccess)
ALOGD("Assembler abort #%d on %d",cUnit.assemblerRetries,
cUnit.assemblerStatus);
} while (cUnit.assemblerStatus == kRetryAll);
这个函数主要的负责内容,则是将LIR转化为MC了,这部分的工作是很死板的工作,就是对应着ARM的汇编规范,翻译,查表,回填,整理之类的。
观察其道代码,LIR2MC的层次,几乎没有做优化的策略和考虑。如果要做optimization,可能这会是一个入手点。
assemble.cpp(vm\compiler\codegen\arm)
/*
* Go over each instruction in the list and calculate the offset from the top
* before sending them off to the assembler. If out-of-range branch distance is
* seen rearrange the instructions a bit to correct it.
*/
void dvmCompilerAssembleLIR(CompilationUnit *cUnit, JitTranslationInfo *info)
