 'hsdis':  A HotSpot plugin for disassembling dynamically generated code.

 The files in this directory (Makefile, hsdis.[ch], hsdis-demo.c)

 are built independently of the HotSpot JVM.

 To use the plugin with a JVM, you need a new version that can load it.

 If the product mode of your JVM does not accept -XX:+PrintAssembly,

 you do not have a version that is new enough.

 * Building

 To build this project you a copy of GNU binutils to build against.  It

 is known to work with binutils 2.17 and binutils 2.19.1.  Download a

 copy of the software from http://directory.fsf.org/project/binutils or

 one of it's mirrors.  Builds targetting windows should use at least

 2.19 and currently requires the use of a cross compiler.

 The makefile looks for the sources in build/binutils or you can

 specify it's location to the makefile using BINTUILS=path.  It will

 configure binutils and build it first and then build and link the

 disasembly adapter.  Make all will build the default target for your

 platform.  If you platform support both 32 and 64 simultaneously then

 "make both" will build them both at once.  "make all64" will

 explicitly build the 64 bit version.  By default this will build the

 disassembler library only.  If you build demo it will build a demo

 program that attempts to exercise the library.

 Windows

 In theory this should be buildable on Windows but getting a working

 GNU build environment on Windows has proven difficult.  MINGW should

 be able to do it but at the time of this writing I was unable to get

 this working.  Instead you can use the mingw cross compiler on linux

 to produce the windows binaries.  For 32-bit windows you can install

 mingw32 using your package manager and it will be added to your path

 automatically.  For 64-bit you need to download the 64 bit mingw from

 http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64.  Grab a copy of the

 complete toolchain and unpack it somewhere.  Put the bin directory of

 the toolchain in your path.  The mingw installs contain cross compile

 versions of gcc that are named with a prefix to indicate what they are

 targetting and you must tell the Makefile which one to use.  This

 should either be i586-mingw32msvc or x86_64-pc-mingw32 depending on

 which on you are targetting and there should be a version of gcc in

 your path named i586-mingw32msvc-gcc or x86_64-pc-mingw32-gcc.  Tell

 the makefile what prefix to use to find the mingw tools by using

 MINGW=.  For example:

 make MINGW=i586-mingw32msvc BINTUILS=build/binutils-2.19.1

 will build the Win32 cross compiled version of hsdis based on 2.19.1.

 * Installing

 Products are named like build/$OS-$LIBARCH/hsdis-$LIBARCH.so.  You can

 install them on your LD_LIBRARY_PATH, or inside of your JRE next to

 $LIBARCH/libjvm.so.

 Now test:

   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH .../hsdis/build/$OS-$LIBARCH:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

   dargs='-XX:+UnlockDiagnosticVMOptions -XX:+PrintAssembly'

   dargs=$dargs' -XX:PrintAssemblyOptions=hsdis-print-bytes'

   java $dargs -Xbatch CompileCommand=print,*String.hashCode HelloWorld

 If the product mode of the JVM does not accept -XX:+PrintAssembly,

 you do not have a version new enough to use the hsdis plugin.
