JVM之类的热替换原理解读，linux服务器搭建教程视频

retransformClasses（）最后会调用到 jvmtiEnv.cpp中的RetransformClasses

// src/hotspot/share/prims/jvmtiEnv.cpp

jvmtiError

JvmtiEnv::RetransformClasses(jint class_count, const jclass* classes) {

int index;

JavaThread* current_thread = JavaThread::current();

ResourceMark rm(current_thread);

jvmtiClassDefinition* class_definitions =

NEW_RESOURCE_ARRAY(jvmtiClassDefinition, class_count);

for (index = 0; index < class_count; index++) {

HandleMark hm(current_thread);

jclass jcls = classes[index];

oop k_mirror = JNIHandles::resolve_external_guard(jcls);

…

Klass* klass = java_lang_Class::as_Klass(k_mirror);

jint status = klass->jvmti_class_status();

if (status & (JVMTI_CLASS_STATUS_ERROR)) {

return JVMTI_ERROR_INVALID_CLASS;

}

InstanceKlass* ik = InstanceKlass::cast(klass);

if (ik->get_cached_class_file_bytes() == NULL) {

JvmtiClassFileReconstituter reconstituter(ik);

if (reconstituter.get_error() != JVMTI_ERROR_NONE) {

return reconstituter.get_error();

}

class_definitions[index].class_byte_count = (jint)reconstituter.class_file_size();

class_definitions[index].class_bytes = (unsigned char*)

reconstituter.class_file_bytes();

} else {

// it is cached, get it from the cache

class_definitions[index].class_byte_count = ik->get_cached_class_file_len();

class_definitions[index].class_bytes = ik->get_cached_class_file_bytes();

}

class_definitions[index].klass = jcls;

}

VM_RedefineClasses op(class_count, class_definitions, jvmti_class_load_kind_retransform);

VMThread::execute(&op);

return (op.check_error());

}

上面这段主要干了两件事：

(1) 根据java层的Class对象，找到JVM层的类实例InstanceKlass，并获取类的字节码，存放在class_definitions数组中。因为可以一次替换多个类，所以这里加了一个循环体，遍历每个要修改的类。

(2) 调用VMThread::execute(&op)，进入下一步。

VMThread::execute(&op) 中会调用到 VM_RedefineClasses::doit_prologue()，最终调用到VM_RedefineClasses::loa
