概述
ASM是Java中比較流行的用來讀寫字節(jié)碼的類庫,用來基于字節(jié)碼層面對代碼進(jìn)行分析和轉(zhuǎn)換。在讀寫的過程中可以加入自定義的邏輯以增強(qiáng)或修改原來已編譯好的字節(jié)碼,比如CGLIB用它來實(shí)現(xiàn)動(dòng)態(tài)代理。ASM被設(shè)計(jì)用于在運(yùn)行時(shí)對Java類進(jìn)行生成和轉(zhuǎn)換,當(dāng)然也包括離線處理。ASM短小精悍、且速度很快,從而避免在運(yùn)行時(shí)動(dòng)態(tài)生成字節(jié)碼或轉(zhuǎn)換時(shí)對程序速度的影響,又因?yàn)樗w積小巧,可以在很多內(nèi)存受限的環(huán)境中使用。ASM的主要優(yōu)勢包括如下幾個(gè)方面:
1. 它又一個(gè)很小,但設(shè)計(jì)良好并且模塊化的API,且易于使用。
2. 它具有很好的文檔,并且還有eclipse插件。
3. 它支持最新的Java版本。
4. 它短小精悍、快速、健壯。
5. 它又一個(gè)很大的用戶社區(qū),可以給新用戶提供支持。
6. 它的開源許可允許你幾乎以任何方式來使用它。
關(guān)于ASM的詳細(xì)文檔可以參考:ASM 3.0:Java字節(jié)碼引擎庫,寫的很詳細(xì)的一個(gè)文檔。
ASM Core設(shè)計(jì)一覽
在ASM的核心實(shí)現(xiàn)中,它主要有以下幾個(gè)類、接口(在org.objectweb.asm包中):ClassReader類:字節(jié)碼的讀取與分析引擎。它采用類似SAX的事件讀取機(jī)制,每當(dāng)有事件發(fā)生時(shí),調(diào)用注冊的ClassVisitor、AnnotationVisitor、FieldVisitor、MethodVisitor做相應(yīng)的處理。
ClassVisitor接口:定義在讀取Class字節(jié)碼時(shí)會(huì)觸發(fā)的事件,如類頭解析完成、注解解析、字段解析、方法解析等。
AnnotationVisitor接口:定義在解析注解時(shí)會(huì)觸發(fā)的事件,如解析到一個(gè)基本值類型的注解、enum值類型的注解、Array值類型的注解、注解值類型的注解等。
FieldVisitor接口:定義在解析字段時(shí)觸發(fā)的事件,如解析到字段上的注解、解析到字段相關(guān)的屬性等。
MethodVisitor接口:定義在解析方法時(shí)觸發(fā)的事件,如方法上的注解、屬性、代碼等。
ClassWriter類:它實(shí)現(xiàn)了ClassVisitor接口,用于拼接字節(jié)碼。
AnnotationWriter類:它實(shí)現(xiàn)了AnnotationVisitor接口,用于拼接注解相關(guān)字節(jié)碼。
FieldWriter類:它實(shí)現(xiàn)了FieldVisitor接口,用于拼接字段相關(guān)字節(jié)碼。
MethodWriter類:它實(shí)現(xiàn)了MethodVisitor接口,用于拼接方法相關(guān)字節(jié)碼。
SignatureReader類:對類定義、字段定義、方法定義、本地變量定義的簽名的解析。Signature因范型引入,用于存儲范型定義時(shí)的元數(shù)據(jù)(因?yàn)檫@些元數(shù)據(jù)在運(yùn)行時(shí)會(huì)被擦除)。
SignatureVisitor接口:定義在解析Signature時(shí)會(huì)觸發(fā)的事件,如正常的Type參數(shù)、類或接口的邊界等。
SignatureWriter類:它實(shí)現(xiàn)了SignatureVisitor接口,用于拼接范型相關(guān)字節(jié)碼。
Attribute類:字節(jié)碼中屬性的類抽象。
ByteVector類:字節(jié)碼二進(jìn)制存儲的容器。
Opcodes接口:字節(jié)碼指令的一些常量定義。
Type類:類型相關(guān)的常量定義以及一些基于其上的操作。
他們之間的類圖關(guān)系如下:

ClassReader實(shí)現(xiàn)
ClassReader是ASM中最核心的實(shí)現(xiàn),它用于讀取并解析Class字節(jié)碼。類字節(jié)碼格式可以具體參考:《Java字節(jié)碼格式詳解1》、《Java字節(jié)碼格式詳解2》、《Java字節(jié)碼格式詳解3》在構(gòu)建ClassReader實(shí)例時(shí),它首先保存字節(jié)碼二進(jìn)制數(shù)組b,然后創(chuàng)建items數(shù)組,數(shù)組的長度在字節(jié)碼數(shù)組的第8、9個(gè)字節(jié)指定(最前面4個(gè)字節(jié)是魔數(shù)CAFEBABE,之后2個(gè)字節(jié)是次版本號,再后2個(gè)字節(jié)是主版本號),每個(gè)item表示常量池項(xiàng)在字節(jié)碼數(shù)組的偏移量加1(常量池中每個(gè)項(xiàng)由1個(gè)字節(jié)的type和緊跟的字節(jié)數(shù)組表示,常量池項(xiàng)有12種類型,其中CONSTANT_FieldRef_Info、CONSTANT_MethodRef_Info、CONSTANT_InterfaceMethodRef_Info、CONSTANT_NameAndType_Info包括其類型字節(jié)占用5個(gè)字節(jié),另外4個(gè)字節(jié)每2個(gè)字節(jié)為字段、方法等所在的類、其名稱、描述符在當(dāng)前常量池中CONSTANT_Utf8_Info類型的引用;CONSTANT_Integer_Info、CONSTANT_Float_Info包括其類型字節(jié)占用5個(gè)字節(jié),另外四個(gè)字節(jié)為其對應(yīng)的值;CONSTANT_Class_Info、CONSTANT_String_Info包括其類型字節(jié)占用3個(gè)字節(jié),另外兩個(gè)字節(jié)為在當(dāng)前常量池CONSTANT_Utf8_Info項(xiàng)的索引;CONSTANT_Utf8_Info類型第1個(gè)字節(jié)表示類型,第2、3個(gè)字節(jié)為該項(xiàng)所表示的字符串的長度);CONSTANT_Double_Info、CONSTANT_Long_Info加類型字節(jié)為9個(gè)字;maxStringLength表示最長的UTF8類型的常量池項(xiàng)的值,用于決定在解析CONSTANT_Utf8_Info類型項(xiàng)時(shí)最大需要的字符數(shù)組;header表示常量池之后的字節(jié)碼的第一個(gè)字節(jié)。
在調(diào)用ClassReader的accept方法時(shí),它解析字節(jié)碼中常量池之后的所有元素。緊接著常量池的2個(gè)字節(jié)是該類的access標(biāo)簽:ACC_PUBLIC、ACC_FINAL等;之后2個(gè)字節(jié)為當(dāng)前類名在常量池CONSTANT_Utf8_Info類型的索引;之后2個(gè)字節(jié)為其父類名在常量池CONSTANT_Utf8_Info類型的索引(索引值0表示父類為null,即直接繼承自O(shè)bject類);再之后為其實(shí)現(xiàn)的接口數(shù)長度和對應(yīng)各個(gè)接口名在常量池中CONSTANT_Utf8_Info類型的索引值;暫時(shí)先跳過Field和Method定義信息,解析類的attribute表,它用兩個(gè)字節(jié)表達(dá)attribute數(shù)組的長度,每個(gè)attribute項(xiàng)中最前面2個(gè)字節(jié)是attribute名稱:SourceFile(讀取sourceFile值)、InnerClasses(暫時(shí)紀(jì)錄起始索引)、EnclosingMethod(紀(jì)錄當(dāng)前匿名類、本地類包含者類名以及包含者的方法名和描述符)、Signature(類的簽名信息,用于范型)、RuntimeVisibleAnnotations(暫時(shí)紀(jì)錄起始索引)、Deprecated(表識屬性)、Synthetic(標(biāo)識屬性)、SourceDebugExtension(為調(diào)試器提供的自定義擴(kuò)展信息,讀取成一個(gè)字符串)、RuntimeInvisibleAnnotations(暫時(shí)紀(jì)錄起始索引),對其他不識別的屬性,紀(jì)錄成Attribute鏈,如果attribute名稱符合在accept中attribute數(shù)組中指定的attribute名,則替換傳入的attribute數(shù)組對應(yīng)的項(xiàng);根據(jù)解析出來的信息調(diào)用以下visit方法:
void visit(int version, int access, String name, String signature, String superName, String[] interfaces);
// sourceFile, sourceDebug
void visitSource(String source, String debug);
// EnclosingMethod attribute: enclosingOwner, enclosingName, enclosingDesc.
// Note: only when the class has EnclosingMethod attribute, meaning the class is a local class or an anonymous class
void visitOuterClass(String owner, String name, String desc);
// sourceFile, sourceDebug
void visitSource(String source, String debug);
// EnclosingMethod attribute: enclosingOwner, enclosingName, enclosingDesc.
// Note: only when the class has EnclosingMethod attribute, meaning the class is a local class or an anonymous class
void visitOuterClass(String owner, String name, String desc);
依次解析RuntimeVisibleAnnotations和RuntimeInvisibleAnnotations屬性,首先解析定義的Annotation的描述符以及運(yùn)行時(shí)可見flag,返回用戶自定義的AnnotationVisitor:
AnnotationVisitor visitAnnotation(String desc, boolean visible);
對每個(gè)定義的Annotation,解析其鍵值對,并根據(jù)不同的Annotation字段值調(diào)用AnnotationVisitor中的方法,在所有解析結(jié)束后,調(diào)用AnnotationVisitor.visitEnd方法:public interface AnnotationVisitor {
// 對基本類型的數(shù)組,依然采用該方法,visitArray只是在非基本類型時(shí)調(diào)用。
void visit(String name, Object value);
void visitEnum(String name, String desc, String value);
AnnotationVisitor visitAnnotation(String name, String desc);
AnnotationVisitor visitArray(String name);
void visitEnd();
}
// 對基本類型的數(shù)組,依然采用該方法,visitArray只是在非基本類型時(shí)調(diào)用。
void visit(String name, Object value);
void visitEnum(String name, String desc, String value);
AnnotationVisitor visitAnnotation(String name, String desc);
AnnotationVisitor visitArray(String name);
void visitEnd();
}
之前解析出的attribute鏈表(非標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的Attribute定義),對每個(gè)Attribute實(shí)例,調(diào)用ClassVisitor中的visitAttribute方法:
void visitAttribute(Attribute attr);
Attribute類包含type字段和一個(gè)字節(jié)數(shù)組:public class Attribute {
public final String type;
byte[] value;
Attribute next;
}
public final String type;
byte[] value;
Attribute next;
}
對每個(gè)InnerClasses屬性,解析并調(diào)用ClassVisitor的visitInnerClass方法(該屬性事實(shí)上保存了所有其直接內(nèi)部類以及它本身到最頂層類的路徑):
void visitInnerClass(String name, String outerName, String innerName, int access);
解析字段,它緊跟接口數(shù)組定義之后,最前面的2個(gè)字節(jié)為字段數(shù)組的長度,對每個(gè)字段,前面2個(gè)字節(jié)為訪問flag定義,再后2個(gè)字節(jié)為Name索引,以及2個(gè)字節(jié)的描述符索引,然后解析其Attribute信息:ConstantValue、Signature、Deprecated、Synthetic、RuntimeVisibleAnnotations、RuntimeInvisibleAnnotations以及非標(biāo)準(zhǔn)定義的Attribute鏈,而后調(diào)用ClassVisitor的visitField方法,返回FieldVisitor實(shí)例:
// 其中value為靜態(tài)字段的初始化值(對非靜態(tài)字段,它的初始化必須由構(gòu)造函數(shù)實(shí)現(xiàn)),如果沒有初始化值,該值為null。
FieldVisitor visitField(int access, String name, String desc, String signature, Object value);
對返回的FieldVisitor依次對其Annotation以及非標(biāo)準(zhǔn)Attribute解析,調(diào)用其visit方法,并在完成后調(diào)用它的visitEnd方法:FieldVisitor visitField(int access, String name, String desc, String signature, Object value);
public interface FieldVisitor {
AnnotationVisitor visitAnnotation(String desc, boolean visible);
void visitAttribute(Attribute attr);
void visitEnd();
}
AnnotationVisitor visitAnnotation(String desc, boolean visible);
void visitAttribute(Attribute attr);
void visitEnd();
}
解析方法定義,它緊跟字段定義之后,最前面的2個(gè)字節(jié)為方法數(shù)組長度,對每個(gè)方法,前面2個(gè)字節(jié)為訪問flag定義,再后2個(gè)字節(jié)為Name索引,以及2個(gè)字節(jié)的方法描述符索引,然后解析其Attribute信息:Code、Exceptions、Signature、Deprecated、RuntimeVisibleAnnotations、AnnotationDefault、Synthetic、RuntimeInvisibleAnnotations、RuntimeVisibleParameterAnnotations、RuntimeInvisibleParameterAnnotations以及非標(biāo)準(zhǔn)定義的Attribute鏈,如果存在Exceptions屬性,解析其異常類數(shù)組,之后調(diào)用ClassVisitor的visitMethod方法,返回MethodVisitor實(shí)例:
MethodVisitor visitMethod(int access, String name, String desc, String signature, String[] exceptions);
AnnotationDefault為對Annotation定義時(shí)指定默認(rèn)值的解析;然后依次解析RuntimeVisibleAnnotations、RuntimeInvisibleAnnotations、RuntimeVisibleParameterAnnotations、RuntimeInvisibleParameterAnnotations等屬性,調(diào)用相關(guān)AnnotationVisitor的visit方法;對非標(biāo)準(zhǔn)定義的Attribute鏈,依次調(diào)用MethodVisitor的visitAttribute方法:
public interface MethodVisitor {
AnnotationVisitor visitAnnotationDefault();
AnnotationVisitor visitAnnotation(String desc, boolean visible);
AnnotationVisitor visitParameterAnnotation(int parameter, String desc, boolean visible);
void visitAttribute(Attribute attr);
}
AnnotationVisitor visitAnnotationDefault();
AnnotationVisitor visitAnnotation(String desc, boolean visible);
AnnotationVisitor visitParameterAnnotation(int parameter, String desc, boolean visible);
void visitAttribute(Attribute attr);
}
對Code屬性解析,讀取2個(gè)字節(jié)的最深棧大小、最大local變量數(shù)、code占用字節(jié)數(shù),調(diào)用MethodVisitor的visitCode()方法表示開始解析Code屬性,對每條指令,創(chuàng)建一個(gè)Label實(shí)例并構(gòu)成Label數(shù)組,解析Code屬性中的異常表,對每個(gè)異常項(xiàng),調(diào)用visitTryCatchBlock方法:
void visitTryCatchBlock(Label start, Label end, Label handler, String type);
Label包含以下信息:/**
* A label represents a position in the bytecode of a method. Labels are used
* for jump, goto, and switch instructions, and for try catch blocks.
*
* @author Eric Bruneton
*/
public class Label {
public Object info;
int status;
int line;
int position;
private int referenceCount;
private int[] srcAndRefPositions;
int inputStackTop;
int outputStackMax;
Frame frame;
Label successor;
Edge successors;
Label next;
}
解析Code屬性中的內(nèi)部屬性信息:LocalVariableTable、LocalVariableTypeTable、LineNumberTable、StackMapTable、StackMap以及非標(biāo)準(zhǔn)定義的Attribute鏈,對每個(gè)Label調(diào)用其visitLineNumber方法以及對每個(gè)Frame調(diào)用visitFrame方法,并且對相應(yīng)的指令調(diào)用相應(yīng)的方法:* A label represents a position in the bytecode of a method. Labels are used
* for jump, goto, and switch instructions, and for try catch blocks.
*
* @author Eric Bruneton
