# breakpointlogger
breakpointlogger is a JVMTI agent that lets one set breakpoints that are logged
when they are hit.
# Usage
### Build
> `m libbreakpointlogger` # or 'm libbreakpointloggerd' with debugging checks enabled
The libraries will be built for 32-bit, 64-bit, host and target. Below examples
assume you want to use the 64-bit version.
### Command Line
The agent is loaded using -agentpath like normal. It takes arguments in the
following format:
> `:class_descriptor:->:methodName::method_sig:@:breakpoint_location:,[...]`
* The breakpoint\_location is a number that's a valid jlocation for the runtime
being used. On ART this is a dex-pc. Dex-pcs can be found using tools such as
dexdump and are uint16\_t-offsets from the start of the method. On other
runtimes jlocations might represent other things.
* Multiple breakpoints can be included in the options, separated with ','s.
* Unlike with most normal debuggers the agent will load the class immediately to
set the breakpoint. This means that classes might be initialized earlier than
one might expect. This also means that one cannot set breakpoints on classes
that cannot be found using standard or bootstrap classloader at startup.
* Deviating from this format or including a breakpoint that cannot be found at
startup will cause the runtime to abort.
#### ART
> `art -Xplugin:$ANDROID_HOST_OUT/lib64/libopenjdkjvmti.so '-agentpath:libbreakpointlogger.so=Lclass/Name;->methodName()V@0' -cp tmp/java/helloworld.dex -Xint helloworld`
* `-Xplugin` and `-agentpath` need to be used, otherwise the agent will fail during init.
* If using `libartd.so`, make sure to use the debug version of jvmti.
#### RI
> `java '-agentpath:libbreakpointlogger.so=Lclass/Name;->methodName()V@0' -cp tmp/helloworld/classes helloworld`
### Output
A normal run will look something like this:
% ./test/run-test --host --dev --with-agent 'libbreakpointlogger.so=LMain;->main([Ljava/lang/String;)V@0' 001-HelloWorld
