SmallEiffel Tools: print_jvm_class

Syntax

print_jvm_class path[.class]

Print_jvm_class prints a human readable version of the path.class file. Printing is done on standard output. This command was developed to check the byte code generated by compile_to_jvm. It is useful only if you want to have a close look at the Java byte code.

Example

First, you have to produce some class files using compile_to_jvm:
compile_to_jvm -boost hello_world
Then you can use print_jvm_class to print on standard output a readable view of any generated class file. The following command prints the main class:
print_jvm_class hello_world.class
You can also print any class file of the hello_world directory. For example, under Unix, you can print the byte code produced for class INTEGER using the command:
print_jvm_class hello_world/integer.class
This command may also be used to print Java byte code produced by javac (the Java compiler).
