Riassunto:

Second Edition now available! The nucleus of the Java programming language, the Java Virtual Machine is the technology responsible for Java's cross-platform delivery, the small size of its compiled code, and its security capabilities. Written by its designers and implementors, this book represents the complete and definitive specification for the Java Virtual Machine. It is an essential reference for compiler writers and Java Virtual Machine implementors. For all Java programmers, the book offers a unique and fascinating internal view of how Java really works. In this book, you will find comprehensive coverage of the Java Virtual Machine class file format and instruction set. In addition, directions for compiling for the Java Virtual Machine with numerous practical examples clarify how the Java Virtual Machine operates in practice. The book also demonstrates the Java Virtual Machine's powerful verification techniques. In all, the book provides sufficient detail to enable you to implement your own fully-compatible Java Virtual Machine. 020163452XB04062001
