153 | convenient possibility to analyze, create, and manipulate (binary) Java

154 | class files (those ending with

155 | <filename class='extension'>.class</filename>). Classes are represented
|
---|
156 | by objects which contain all the symbolic information of the given class:
|
---|
157 | methods, fields and byte code instructions, in particular. Such objects
|
---|
158 | can be read from an existing file, be transformed by a program (e.g., a

159 | class loader at run-time) and dumped to a file again. An even more

160 | interesting application is the creation of classes from scratch at

161 | run-time. The Byte Code Engineering Library may be also useful if you

683 | programming language designed for extending applications. It is also
|

684 | frequently used as a general-purpose, stand-alone language. It is free
|
---|
685 | software. <application>Lua</application> combines simple procedural
|
---|
686 | syntax with powerful data description constructs based on associative
|
---|
687 | arrays and extensible semantics. It is dynamically typed, interpreted
|
---|
688 | from bytecodes, and has automatic memory management with garbage
|
---|
689 | collection, making it ideal for configuration, scripting, and rapid
|
---|
690 | prototyping. A fundamental concept in the design of
|
---|
691 | <application>Lua</application> is to provide meta-mechanisms for
|
---|
692 | implementing features, instead of providing a host of features directly
|
---|
693 | in the language. For example, although <application>Lua</application> is
|
---|
694 | not a pure object-oriented language, it does provide meta-mechanisms for
|
---|
695 | implementing classes and inheritance. <application>Lua</application>'s
|
---|
696 | meta-mechanisms bring an economy of concepts and keep the language small,
|
---|
697 | while allowing the semantics to be extended in unconventional ways.
|
---|
698 | Extensible semantics is a distinguishing feature of
|
---|
699 | <application>Lua</application>. <application>Lua</application> is a
|
---|
700 | language engine that you can embed into your application. This means
|
---|
701 | that, besides syntax and semantics, it has an API that allows the
|
---|
702 | application to exchange data with <application>Lua</application> programs
|
---|
703 | and also to extend <application>Lua</application> with C functions. In
|
---|
704 | this sense, it can be regarded as a language framework for building
|
---|
705 | domain-specific languages. <application>Lua</application> is implemented
|
---|
706 | as a small library of C functions, written in ANSI C, and compiles
|
---|
707 | unmodified in all known platforms. The implementation goals are
|
---|
708 | simplicity, efficiency, portability, and low embedding cost. The result
|
---|
709 | is a fast language engine with small footprint, making it ideal in

1440 | Linux systems, capable of profiling all running code at low overhead.
|
---|
1441 | <application>OProfile</application> is released under the GNU GPL. It
|
---|
1442 | consists of a kernel driver and a daemon for collecting sample data, and
|
---|
1443 | several post-profiling tools for turning data into information.
|
---|
1444 | <application>OProfile</application> leverages the hardware performance
|
---|
1445 | counters of the CPU to enable profiling of a wide variety of interesting
|
---|
1446 | statistics, which can also be used for basic time-spent profiling. All
|
---|
1447 | code is profiled: hardware and software interrupt handlers, kernel
|
---|
1448 | modules, the kernel, shared libraries, and applications.
|
---|
1449 | <application>OProfile</application> is currently in alpha status; however
|
---|
1450 | it has proven stable over a large number of differing configurations. It
|
---|
1451 | is being used on machines ranging from laptops to 16-way NUMA-Q
|
---|
1452 | boxes.</para>
