<h1>Bytecode for the Dalvik VM</h1>
<p>Copyright © 2007 The Android Open Source Project
<h2>General Design</h2>
<ul>
<li>The machine model and calling conventions are meant to approximately
imitate common real architectures and C-style calling conventions:
<ul>
<li>The VM is register-based, and frames are fixed in size upon creation.
Each frame consists of a particular number of registers (specified by
the method) as well as any adjunct data needed to execute the method,
such as (but not limited to) the program counter and a reference to the
<code>.dex</code> file that contains the method.
</li>
<li>Registers are 32 bits wide. Adjacent register pairs are used for 64-bit
values.
</li>
<li>In terms of bitwise representation, <code>(Object) null == (int)
0</code>.
</li>
<li>The <i>N</i> arguments to a method land in the last <i>N</i> registers
of the method's invocation frame, in order. Wide arguments consume
two registers. Instance methods are passed a <code>this</code> reference
as their first argument.
</li>
</ul>
<li>The storage unit in the instruction stream is a 16-bit unsigned quantity.
Some bits in some instructions are ignored / must-be-zero.
</li>
<li>Instructions aren't gratuitously limited to a particular type. For
example, instructions that move 32-bit register values without interpretation
don't have to specify whether they are moving ints or floats.
</li>
<li>There are separately enumerated and indexed constant pools for
references to strings, types, fields, and methods.
</li>
<li>Bitwise literal data is represented in-line in the instruction stream.</li>
<li>Because, in practice, it is uncommon for a method to need more than
16 registers, and because needing more than eight registers <i>is</i>
reasonably common, many instructions are limited to only addressing
the first 16
registers. When reasonably possible, instructions allow references to
up to the first 256 registers. In cases where an instruction variant isn't
available to address a desired register, it is expected that the register
contents get moved from the original register to a low register (before the
operation) and/or moved from a low result register to a high register
(after the operation).
</li>
<li>There are several "pseudo-instructions" that are used to hold
variable-length data referred to by regular instructions (for example,
<code>fill-array-data</code>). Such instructions must never be
encountered during the normal flow of execution. In addition, the
instructions must be located on even-numbered bytecode offsets (that is,
4-byte aligned). In order to meet this requirement, dex generation tools
should emit an extra <code>nop</code> instruction as a spacer if such an
instruction would otherwise be unaligned. Finally, though not required,
it is expected that most tools will choose to emit these instructions at
the ends of methods, since otherwise it would likely be the case that
additional instructions would be needed to branch around them.
</li>
<li>When installed on a running system, some instructions may be altered,
changing their format, as an install-time static linking optimization.
This is to allow for faster execution once linkage is known.
See the associated
<a href="instruction-formats.html">instruction formats document</a>
for the suggested variants. The word "suggested" is used advisedly;
it is not mandatory to implement these.
</li>
<li>Human-syntax and mnemonics:
<ul>
<li>Dest-then-source ordering for arguments.</li>
<li>Some opcodes have a disambiguating suffix with respect to the type(s)
they operate on: Type-general 64-bit opcodes
are suffixed with <code>-wide</code>.
Type-specific opcodes are suffixed with their type (or a
straightforward abbreviation), one of: <code>-boolean</code>
<code>-byte</code> <code>-char</code> <code>-short</code>
<code>-int</code> <code>-long</code> <code>-float</code>
<code>-double</code> <code>-object</code> <code>-string</code>
<code>-class</code> <code>-void</code>. Type-general 32-bit opcodes
are unmarked.
</li>
<li>Some opcodes have a disambiguating suffix to distinguish
otherwise-identical operations that have different instruction layouts
or options. These suffixes are separated from the main names with a slash
("<code>/</code>") and mainly exist at all to make there be a one-to-one
mapping with static constants in the code that generates and interprets
executables (that is, to reduce ambiguity for humans).
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>See the <a href="instruction-formats.html">instruction formats
document</a> for more details about the various instruction formats
(listed under "Op & Format") as well as details about the opcode
syntax.
</li>

<p><b>Note:</b>
If this instruction needs to throw an exception, it must do
so as if the pc has already advanced past the instruction.
It may be useful to think of this as the instruction successfully
executing (in a sense), and the exception getting thrown <i>after</i>
the instruction but <i>before</i> the next one gets a chance to
run. This definition makes it possible for a method to use
a monitor cleanup catch-all (e.g., <code>finally</code>) block as
the monitor cleanup for that block itself, as a way to handle the
arbitrary exceptions that might get thrown due to the historical
implementation of <code>Thread.stop()</code>, while still managing
to have proper monitor hygiene.</p>
