Dalvik虚拟机总结

    一、Dalvik虚拟机启动

    在启动Zygote进程时，会启动Dalvik虚拟机，完成下面几件事：

    1. 创建了一个Dalvik虚拟机实例； 

    2. 加载了Java核心类及注册其JNI方法； 

    3. 为主线程的设置了一个JNI环境； 

    4. 注册了Android核心类的JNI方法。

void AndroidRuntime::start(const char* className, const bool startSystemServer)
{
    ......

    /* start the virtual machine */
    if (startVm(&mJavaVM, &env) != 0)
        goto bail;

    /*
     * Register android functions.
     */
    if (startReg(env) < 0) {
        LOGE("Unable to register all android natives\n");
        goto bail;
    }

    ......

    /*
     * Start VM.  This thread becomes the main thread of the VM, and will
     * not return until the VM exits.
     */
    jclass startClass;
    jmethodID startMeth;

    slashClassName = strdup(className);
    for (cp = slashClassName; *cp != '\0'; cp++)
        if (*cp == '.')
            *cp = '/';

    startClass = env->FindClass(slashClassName);
    if (startClass == NULL) {
        LOGE("JavaVM unable to locate class '%s'\n", slashClassName);
        /* keep going */
    } else {
        startMe
