fieldcount

fieldcount is a JVMTI agent designed to investigate the types being held by specific fields and how large the objects referenced by these fields are.

Note that just by using the agent some fields might be written (for example fields related to keeping track of jfieldIDs). Users should be aware of this.

Usage

Build

m libfieldcount libfieldcounts

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:

`Lname/of/class;.nameOfField:Ltype/of/field;[,...]`

ART

art -Xplugin:$ANDROID_HOST_OUT/lib64/libopenjdkjvmti.so '-agentpath:libfieldcount.so=Ljava/lang/Class;.extData:Ldalvik/system/ClassExt;,Ldalvik/system/ClassExt;.jmethodIDs:Ljava/lang/Object;' -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.

adb shell setenforce 0

adb push $ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT/system/lib64/libfieldcounts.so /data/local/tmp/

adb shell am start-activity --attach-agent '/data/local/tmp/libfieldcounts.so=Ljava/lang/Class;.extData:Ldalvik/system/ClassExt;,Ldalvik/system/ClassExt;.jmethodIDs:Ljava/lang/Object;' some.debuggable.apps/.the.app.MainActivity

RI

java '-agentpath:libfieldcount.so=Lname/of/class;.nameOfField:Ltype/of/field;' -cp tmp/helloworld/classes helloworld

Printing the Results

All statistics gathered during the trace are printed automatically when the program normally exits. In the case of Android applications, they are always killed, so we need to manually print the results.

kill -SIGQUIT $(pid com.littleinc.orm_benchmark)

Will initiate a dump of the counts (to logcat).

The dump will look something like this.
