27 // Class Status
28 //
29 // kNotReady: Newly allocated Class object.
30 // If a Class cannot be found in the class table by FindClass, ClassLinker
31 // allocates a new one in the kNotReady state and calls LoadClass. Note
32 // if ClassLinker does find a Class, it may not be kResolved and ClassLinker
33 // will try to push it forward toward kResolved.
34 //
35 // kRetired: Class object that was temporarily used until class linking time
36 // when it had its final size (including vtable size) figured out and had
37 // been cloned to one with the right size which will be the one used later.
38 // The old one is retired and will be gc'ed once all refs to the class point
39 // to the newly cloned version.
40 //
41 // kErrorUnresolved, kErrorResolved: Class is erroneous. We need
42 // to distinguish between classes that have been resolved and classes that
43 // have not. This is important because the const-class instruction needs to
44 // return a previously resolved class even if its subsequent initialization
45 // failed. We also need this to decide whether to wrap a previous
46 // initialization failure in ClassDefNotFound error or not.
47 //
48 // kIdx: LoadClass populates with Class with information from
49 // the DexFile, moving the status to kIdx, indicating that the
50 // Class value in super_class_ has not been populated. The new Class
51 // can then be inserted into the classes table.
52 //
53 // kLoaded: After taking a lock on Class, the ClassLinker will
54 // attempt to move a kIdx class forward to kLoaded by
55 // using ResolveClass to initialize the super_class_ and ensuring the
56 // interfaces are resolved.
57 //
58 // kResolving: Class is just cloned with the right size from
59 // temporary class that's acting as a placeholder for linking. The old
60 // class will be retired. New class is set to this status first before
61 // moving on to being resolved.
62 //
63 // kResolved: Still holding the lock on Class, the ClassLinker
64 // shows linking is complete and fields of the Class populated by making
65 // it kResolved. Java allows circularities of the form where a super
66 // class has a field that is of the type of the sub class. We need to be able
67 // to fully resolve super classes while resolving types for fields.
68 //
69 // kRetryVerificationAtRuntime: The verifier sets a class to
70 // this state if it encounters a soft failure at compile time. This
71 // often happens when there are unresolved classes in other dex
72 // files, and this status marks a class as needing to be verified
73 // again at runtime. This status is only set and seen during AOT
74 // compilation, and the compiler will mark the class as resolved in the
75 // image and/or oat file.
76 //
77 // kVerifiedNeedsAccessChecks: The verifier sets a class to this state
78 // if it encounters access-checks only soft failure at compile time.
79 // This happens when there are unresolved classes in other dex files,
80 // and this status marks a class as verified but that will need to run
81 // with access checks enabled in the interpreter.
82 //
83 // kVerified: The class has been verified.
84 //
85 // kSuperclassValidated: Types referenced by virtual method signatures have
86 // been verified to match the types referenced by the virtual and interface
87 // methods from superclass and interfaces that they override or implement.
88 // TODO: This is similar to loading constraints in the RI but the check is too
89 // weak to fully ensure type safety. For example, the `DelegateLastClassLoader`
90 // can easily break the type safety if a class name is resolved differently in
91 // the parent class loader.
92 //
93 // kInitializing: The class is being initialized by some thread. Other threads
94 // trying to initialize the class shall be blocked until the initialization is
95 // completed by the initializing thread.
96 //
97 // kInitialized: The class has been fully initialized. However, a thread that
98 // needs to see its fields in their initialized state needs to check for this
99 // state with an acquire load on the class status field to ensure correct
100 // memory visibility.
101 //
102 // kVisiblyInitialized: The class has been initialized and the fields in their
103 // initialized state are visible to all threads without additional memory
104 // synchronization. A thread can use a relaxed load of the class status field
105 // and, if it finds this state, it can safely use the class's static fields.
106 // This is ensured by executing a checkpoint on all threads after the class
107 // was initialized; this operation is batched due to the high checkpoint cost.
108 // This state enables cheap class initialization checks in compiled managed
109 // code (especially AOT-compiled; JITted code could be eventually re-JITted
110 // without any checks at all) and the runtime.
