The print_jvm_class command



Usage

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.

This command may also be used to print Java byte code you obtained with Java compilers, such as javac. We find the output of print_jvm_class more readable than the output of javap.

Examples

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
