Text of the page (random words):
than one byte large and potentially very large the largest possible object is an array of long of length 2 31 1 which would consume 16 gib of memory and there could potentially be 2 32 of these if there were enough memory available this results in upper bounds that are more comparable to a typical 64 bit byte addressable machine a jvm implementation can be designed to run on a processor that natively uses any bit width as long as it correctly implements the integer 8 16 32 and 64 bit and floating point 32 and 64 bit math that the jvm requires depending on the method used to implement references native pointers compressed pointers or an indirection table this can limit the number of objects to less than the theoretical maximum an implementation of the jvm on a 64 bit platform has access to a much larger address space than one on a 32 bit platform which allows for a much larger heap size and an increased maximum number of threads which is needed for certain kinds of large applications however there can be a performance hit from using a 64 bit implementation compared to a 32 bit implementation jvm languages edit main article list of jvm languages a jvm language is any language with functions that can be expressed in a valid class file which can be hosted by a jvm a class file contains jvm instructions jvm bytecode a symbol table and other ancillary information the class file format is the hardware and operating system independent binary format used to represent compiled classes and interfaces 12 there are several jvm languages both older established languages ported to jvm and much newer from scratch languages jruby and jython may be the best known ports of older languages i e ruby and python respectively of the new from scratch languages created to compile to java bytecode clojure groovy scala and kotlin may be the most popular a notable feature of the jvm languages is their language interoperability they are compatible with each other so that for example scala libraries can be used with java programs and vice versa 13 java 7 jvm implements jsr 292 supporting dynamically typed languages 14 on the java platform a new feature which supports dynamically typed languages in the jvm this feature is developed within the da vinci machine project whose mission is to extend the jvm so that it supports languages other than java 15 16 class loader edit main article java class file one of the organizational units of jvm byte code is a class a class loader implementation must be able to recognize and load anything that conforms to the java class file format any implementation is free to recognize other binary forms besides class files but it must recognize class files the class loader performs three basic activities in this strict order loading finds and imports the binary data for a type linking performs verification preparation and optionally resolution verification ensures the correctness of the imported type preparation allocates memory for class variables and initializing the memory to default values resolution transforms symbolic references from the type into direct references initialization invokes java code that initializes class variables to their proper starting values in general there are three types of class loader bootstrap class loader extension class loader and system application class loader every java virtual machine implementation must have a bootstrap class loader that is capable of loading trusted classes as well as an extension class loader or application class loader the java virtual machine specification does not specify how a class loader should locate classes bytecode instructions edit main article java bytecode the jvm has instructions for the following groups of tasks load and store arithmetic type conversion object creation and manipulation operand stack management push pop control transfer branching method invocation and return throwing exceptions monitor based concurrency the aim is binary compatibility each particular host operating system needs its own implementation of the jvm and runtime these jvms interpret the bytecode semantically the same way but the actual implementation may be different more complex than just emulating bytecode is compatibly and efficiently implementing the java core api that must be mapped to each host operating system these instructions operate on a set of common abstracted data types rather the native data types of any specific instruction set architecture bytecode verifier edit a basic philosophy of java is that it is inherently safe from the standpoint that no user program can crash the host machine or otherwise interfere inappropriately with other operations on the host machine and that it is possible to protect certain methods and data structures belonging to trusted code from access or corruption by untrusted code executing within the same jvm furthermore common programmer errors that often led to data corruption or unpredictable behavior such as accessing off the end of an array or using an uninitialized pointer are not allowed to occur several features of java combine to provide this safety including the class model the garbage collected heap and the verifier the jvm verifies all bytecode before it is executed this verification consists primarily of three types of checks branches are always to valid locations data is always initialized and references are always type safe access to private or package private data and methods is rigidly controlled the first two of these checks take place primarily during the verification step that occurs when a class is loaded and made eligible for use the third is primarily performed dynamically when data items or methods of a class are first accessed by another class the verifier permits only some bytecode sequences in valid programs e g a jump branch instruction can only target an instruction within the same method furthermore the verifier ensures that any given instruction operates on a fixed stack location 17 allowing the jit compiler to transform stack accesses into fixed register accesses because of this that the jvm is a stack architecture does not imply a speed penalty for emulation on register based architectures when using a jit compiler in the face of the code verified jvm architecture it makes no difference to a jit compiler whether it gets named imaginary registers or imaginary stack positions that must be allocated to the target architecture s registers in fact code verification makes the jvm different from a classic stack architecture of which efficient emulation with a jit compiler is more complicated and typically carried out by a slower interpreter additionally the interpreter used by the default jvm is a special type known as a template interpreter which translates bytecode directly to native register based machine language rather than emulate a stack like a typical interpreter 18 in many aspects the hotspot interpreter can be considered a jit compiler rather than a true interpreter meaning the stack architecture that the bytecode targets is not actually used in the implementation but merely a specification for the intermediate representation that can well be implemented in a register based architecture another instance of a stack architecture being merely a specification and implemented in a register based virtual machine is the common language runtime 19 the original specification for the bytecode verifier used natural language that was incomplete or incorrect in some respects a number of attempts have been made to specify the jvm as a formal system by doing this the security of current jvm implementations can more thoroughly be analyzed and potential security exploits prevented it will also be possible to optimize the jvm by skipping unnecessary safety checks if the application being run is proven to be safe 20 secure execution of remote code edit a virtual machine architecture allows very fine grained control over the actions that code within the machine is permitted to take it assumes the code is semantically correct that is it successfully passed the formal bytecode verifier process materialized by a tool possibly off board the virtual machine this is designed to allow safe execution of untrusted code from remote sources a model used by java applets and other secure code downloads once bytecode verified the downloaded code runs in a restricted sandbox which is designed to protect the user from misbehaving or malicious code as an addition to the bytecode verification process publishers can purchase a certificate with which to digitally sign applets as safe giving them permission to ask the user to break out of the sandbox and access the local file system clipboard execute external pieces of software or network formal proof of bytecode verifiers have been done by the javacard industry formal development of an embedded verifier for java card byte code 21 bytecode interpreter and just in time compiler edit for each hardware architecture a different java bytecode interpreter is needed when a computer has a java bytecode interpreter it can run any java bytecode program and the same program can be run on any computer that has such an interpreter when java bytecode is executed by an interpreter the execution will always be slower than the execution of the same program compiled into native machine language this problem is mitigated by just in time jit compilers for executing java bytecode a jit compiler may translate java bytecode into native machine language while executing the program the translated parts of the program can then be executed much more quickly than they could be interpreted this technique gets applied to those parts of a program frequently executed this way a jit compiler can significantly speed up the overall execution time there is no necessary connection between the java programming language and java bytecode a program written in java can be compiled directly into the machine language of a real computer and programs written in other languages than java can be compiled into java bytecode java bytecode is intended to be platform independent and secure 22 some jvm implementations do not include an interpreter but consist only of a just in time compiler 23 java native interface edit main article java native interface the java native interface or native method interface is a foreign function interface non java programming framework which enables java code running in a java virtual machine jvm to call and be called by native applications programs specific to a hardware and operating system platform and libraries written in other languages such as c c and assembly java 22 introduces the foreign function and memory api which can be seen as the successor to java native interface native methods are enabled by jni to handle situations when an application cannot be written entirely in the java programming language e g when the standard java class library does not support the platform specific features or program library the jni framework lets a native method use java objects in the same way that java code uses these objects a native method can create java objects and then inspect and use these objects to perform its tasks a native method can also inspect and use objects created by java application code jni also allows direct access to assembly code without even going through a c bridge 3 accessing java applications from assembly is possible in the same way jvm in the web browser edit at the start of the java platform s lifetime the jvm was marketed as a web technology for creating rich web applications as of 2018 update most web browsers and operating systems bundling web browsers do not ship with a java plug in nor do they permit side loading any non flash plug in the java browser plugin was deprecated in jdk 9 24 the npapi java browser plug in was designed to allow the jvm to execute so called java applets embedded into html pages for browsers with the plug in installed the applet is allowed to draw into a rectangular region on the page assigned to it because the plug in includes a jvm java applets are not restricted to the java programming language any language targeting the jvm may run in the plug in a restricted set of apis allow applets access to the user s microphone or 3d acceleration although applets are not able to modify the page outside its rectangular region adobe flash player the main competing technology works in the same way in this respect as of june 2015 update according to w3techs java applet and silverlight use had fallen to 0 1 each for all web sites while flash had fallen to 10 8 25 javascript jvms and interpreters edit since may 2016 javapoly allows users to import unmodified java libraries and invoke them directly from javascript javapoly allows websites to use unmodified java libraries even if the user does not have java installed on their computer 26 transpilation to javascript edit with the continuing improvements in javascript execution speed combined with the increased use of mobile devices whose web browsers do not implement support for plugins there are efforts to target those users through transpilation to javascript it is possible to either transpile the source code or jvm bytecode to javascript compiling the jvm bytecode which is universal across jvm languages allows building upon the language s existing compiler to bytecode the main jvm bytecode to javascript transpilers are teavm 27 the compiler contained in dragome web sdk 28 bck2brwsr 29 and j2js compiler 30 leading transpilers from jvm languages to javascript include the java to javascript transpiler contained in
