| * Added a note about android:vmSafeMode.Andy McFadden2010-04-051-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Seems like a good thing to note here, along with the system properties that accomplish the same thing system-wide. (This is a minor documentation change only.) Change-Id: Ib9adbd612d662fd2da3a02f49e730040fba8a7f3
* | Make wide-volatile loads and stores atomic.Andy McFadden2010-03-151-0/+4
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This implements the four wide-volatile instructions added in a previous change, and modifies the verifier to substitute the opcodes into the instruction stream when appropriate. For mterp, the ARM wide get/put instructions now have conditional code that replaces ldrd/strd with a call to the quasiatomic functions. The C version does essentially the same thing. ARMv4T lacks ldrd/stdrd, and uses separate implementations for the wide field accesses, so those were updated as well. x86 will just use stubs. The JIT should punt these to the interpreter. Change-Id: Ife88559ed1a698c3267d43c454896f6b12081c0f Also: - We don't seem to be using the negative widths in the instruction table. Not sure they're useful anymore. - Tabs -> spaces in x86-atom throw-verification-error impl.
* Clarify a few items in the dex spec.Dan Bornstein2010-02-241-8/+10
| | | | | | | In particular, do a bit of "may" vs. "must" maintenance, and be specific about references as arguments to filled-new-array. Change-Id: Iae4cb734e05cd29230e2c9a343108bbfb3c20193

| * Minor clarification.Andy McFadden2010-02-011-6/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | People seem tempted to skip past the introductory material and jump straight to the meaty bits, but the introduction tells you some important things (like how you need to stop/start the framework).
* | Update with froyo change.Andy McFadden2010-02-011-0/+12
|/ | | | | This refers to Froyo as "2.x", because nobody seems to know what the actual numbering will be.
* Added note about NewStringUTF.Andy McFadden2010-01-281-1/+10
| | | | | Calling NewStringUTF with non-UTF data is a common mistake. This adds a note to the JNI Tips document.
* Don't assume debugger wants all exceptions.Andy McFadden2009-12-111-6/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The JDWP implementation in the VM keeps a list of the objects that the debugger knows about, and prevents the GC from collecting them (which isn't strictly necessary, but it's a whole lot easier than doing it right). Because of the way it's implemented, it actually ended up keeping track of all thrown exceptions, even if the debugger wasn't interested in hearing about them. With this change we now do a "late" registration of the exception object, preventing exception-happy code from filling memory when the debugger is attached.
* Update docs for debugger change.Andy McFadden2009-11-301-8/+7
| | | | Update notes re: breakpoint implementation (changed Oct 28, 96516932).
* Fix heap profiling doc.Andy McFadden2009-11-201-9/+12
| | | | The DDMS "get hprof dump" button doesn't show up until 2.0.
* Implement JNI "weak global" references.Andy McFadden2009-10-201-4/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | The VM now supports the NewWeakGlobalRef and DeleteWeakGlobalRef calls, which create a kind of weak reference that's directly visible to native code. While the JNI spec says that these can be used directly, the only safe way to use them is to convert them to a strong local or global reference first, so this is enforced. The net result is very similar to manually creating a global reference to a WeakReference object and manipulating it with method calls from native code, but the JNI calls are faster and more convenient.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In particular: - The app framework uses ro.debuggable, not ro.secure, to decide whether or not debuggers are globally allowed. - If you have a debugger attached, Thread objects may not be collected.
