jvmti-rust

An extensible, safe native JVM agent implemented in pure Rust.

A word of warning

This project is far from being complete or usable to say the least and contains a healthy dose of proof-of-concept code that is guaranteed to either work or not.

Abstract

Rust JVMTI is intended to become a slim JVM application performance management (APM) tool leveraging both safe access to native JVM functionality via Rust and byte code instrumentation using Java code.

Already implemented (probably poorly)

• Ability to connect to a JVM as a native agent library
• Read and parse loaded class files
• Generate byte code from loaded or created class files
• Gathering and displaying statistics about method class, class loading and synchronization times
• Read basic command line configuration
• Basic JVM emulator for implementing unit tests without the need for an actual JVM

Usage

Please see the example.
