+<h1>Bytecode for the Dalvik VM</h1>
+<p>Copyright &copy; 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 &amp; Format") as well as details about the opcode
+  syntax.
+</li>
+</ul>

+<h3>LEB128</h3>
+
+<p>LEB128 ("<b>L</b>ittle-<b>E</b>ndian <b>B</b>ase <b>128</b>") is a
+variable-length encoding for
+arbitrary signed or unsigned integer quantities. The format was
+borrowed from the <a href="http://dwarfstd.org/Dwarf3Std.php">DWARF3</a>
+specification. In a <code>.dex</code> file, LEB128 is only ever used to
+encode 32-bit quantities.</p>
+
+<p>Each LEB128 encoded value consists of one to five
+bytes, which together represent a single 32-bit value. Each
+byte has its most significant bit set except for the final byte in the
+sequence, which has its most significant bit clear. The remaining
+seven bits of each byte are payload, with the least significant seven
+bits of the quantity in the first byte, the next seven in the second
+byte and so on. In the case of a signed LEB128 (<code>sleb128</code>),
+the most significant payload bit of the final byte in the sequence is
+sign-extended to produce the final value. In the unsigned case
+(<code>uleb128</code>), any bits not explicitly represented are
+interpreted as <code>0</code>.

+<p>The variant <code>uleb128p1</code> is used to represent a signed
+value, where the representation is of the value <i>plus one</i> encoded
+as a <code>uleb128</code>. This makes the encoding of <code>-1</code>
+(alternatively thought of as the unsigned value <code>0xffffffff</code>)
+&mdash; but no other negative number &mdash; a single byte, and is
+useful in exactly those cases where the represented number must either
+be non-negative or <code>-1</code> (or <code>0xffffffff</code>),
+and where no other negative values are allowed (or where large unsigned
+values are unlikely to be needed).</p>

+<h2><code>DEX_FILE_MAGIC</code></h2>
+<h4>embedded in <code>header_item</code></h4>
+
+<p>The constant array/string <code>DEX_FILE_MAGIC</code> is the list of
+bytes that must appear at the beginning of a <code>.dex</code> file
+in order for it to be recognized as such. The value intentionally
+contains a newline (<code>"\n"</code> or <code>0x0a</code>) and a
+null byte (<code>"\0"</code> or <code>0x00</code>) in order to help
+in the detection of certain forms of corruption. The value also
+encodes a format version number as three decimal digits, which is
+expected to increase monotonically over time as the format evolves.</p>
+
+<pre>
+ubyte[8] DEX_FILE_MAGIC = { 0x64 0x65 0x78 0x0a 0x30 0x33 0x35 0x00 }
+                        = "dex\n035\0"
+</pre>
+
+<p><b>Note:</b> At least a couple earlier versions of the format have
+been used in widely-available public software releases. For example,
+version <code>009</code> was used for the M3 releases of the
+Android platform (November-December 2007),
+and version <code>013</code> was used for the M5 releases of the Android
+platform (February-March 2008). In several respects, these earlier versions
+of the format differ significantly from the version described in this
+document.</p>
+
+<h2><code>ENDIAN_CONSTANT</code> and <code>REVERSE_ENDIAN_CONSTANT</code></h2>
+<h4>embedded in <code>header_item</code></h4>
+
+<p>The constant <code>ENDIAN_CONSTANT</code> is used to indicate the
+endianness of the file in which it is found. Although the standard
+<code>.dex</code> format is little-endian, implementations may choose
+to perform byte-swapping. Should an implementation come across a
+header whose <code>endian_tag</code> is <code>REVERSE_ENDIAN_CONSTANT</code>
+instead of <code>ENDIAN_CONSTANT</code>, it would know that the file
+has been byte-swapped from the expected form.</p>
+
+<pre>

+uint REVERSE_ENDIAN_CONSTANT = 0x78563412;
+</pre>
+
+<h2><code>NO_INDEX</code></h2>
+<h4>embedded in <code>class_def_item</code> and
+<code>debug_info_item</code></h4>
+
+<p>The constant <code>NO_INDEX</code> is used to indicate that
+an index value is absent.</p>
+
+<p><b>Note:</b> This value isn't defined to be
+<code>0</code>, because that is in fact typically a valid index.</p>
+
+<p><b>Also Note:</b> The chosen value for <code>NO_INDEX</code> is
+representable as a single byte in the <code>uleb128p1</code> encoding.</p>

+<h2>MUTF-8 (Modified UTF-8) Encoding</h2>
+
+<p>As a concession to easier legacy support, the <code>.dex</code> format
+encodes its string data in a de facto standard modified UTF-8 form, hereafter
+referred to as MUTF-8. This form is identical to standard UTF-8, except:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>Only the one-, two-, and three-byte encodings are used.</li>
+  <li>Code points in the range <code>U+10000</code> &hellip;
+    <code>U+10ffff</code> are encoded as a surrogate pair, each of
+    which is represented as a three-byte encoded value.</li>
+  <li>The code point <code>U+0000</code> is encoded in two-byte form.</li>
+  <li>A plain null byte (value <code>0</code>) indicates the end of
+    a string, as is the standard C language interpretation.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>The first two items above can be summarized as: MUTF-8
+is an encoding format for UTF-16, instead of being a more direct
+encoding format for Unicode characters.</p>
+
+<p>The final two items above make it simultaneously possible to include
+the code point <code>U+0000</code> in a string <i>and</i> still manipulate
+it as a C-style null-terminated string.</p>
+
+<p>However, the special encoding of <code>U+0000</code> means that, unlike
+normal UTF-8, the result of calling the standard C function
+<code>strcmp()</code> on a pair of MUTF-8 strings does not always
+indicate the properly signed result of comparison of <i>unequal</i> strings.
+When ordering (not just equality) is a concern, the most straightforward
+way to compare MUTF-8 strings is to decode them character by character,
+and compare the decoded values. (However, more clever implementations are
+also possible.)</p>
+
+<p>Please refer to <a href="http://unicode.org">The Unicode
+Standard</a> for further information about character encoding.
+MUTF-8 is actually closer to the (relatively less well-known) encoding
+<a href="http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr26/">CESU-8</a> than to UTF-8
+per se.</p>

+<h2>String Syntax</h2>
+
+<p>There are several kinds of item in a <code>.dex</code> file which
+ultimately refer to a string. The following BNF-style definitions
+indicate the acceptable syntax for these strings.</p>
+
+<h3><i>SimpleName</i></h3>
+
+<p>A <i>SimpleName</i> is the basis for the syntax of the names of other
+things. The <code>.dex</code> format allows a fair amount of latitude
+here (much more than most common source languages). In brief, a simple
+name may consist of any low-ASCII alphabetic character or digit, a few
+specific low-ASCII symbols, and most non-ASCII code points that are not
+control, space, or special characters. Note that surrogate code points
+(in the range <code>U+d800</code> &hellip; <code>U+dfff</code>) are not
+considered valid name characters, per se, but Unicode supplemental
+characters <i>are</i> valid (which are represented by the final
+alternative of the rule for <i>SimpleNameChar</i>), and they should be
+represented in a file as pairs of surrogate code points in the MUTF-8
+encoding.</p>

+
+<p>Each <code>debug_info_item</code> defines a DWARF3-inspired byte-coded
+state machine that, when interpreted, emits the positions
+table and (potentially) the local variable information for a
+<code>code_item</code>. The sequence begins with a variable-length
+header (the length of which depends on the number of method
+parameters), is followed by the state machine bytecodes, and ends
+with an <code>DBG_END_SEQUENCE</code> byte.</p>
+
+<p>The state machine consists of five registers. The
+<code>address</code> register represents the instruction offset in the
+associated <code>insns_item</code> in 16-bit code units. The
+<code>address</code> register starts at <code>0</code> at the beginning of each
+<code>debug_info</code> sequence and may only monotonically increase.
+The <code>line</code> register represents what source line number
+should be associated with the next positions table entry emitted by
+the state machine. It is initialized in the sequence header, and may
+change in positive or negative directions but must never be less than
+<code>1</code>. The <code>source_file</code> register represents the
+source file that the line number entries refer to. It is initialized to
+the value of <code>source_file_idx</code> in <code>class_def_item</code>.
+The other two variables, <code>prologue_end</code> and
+<code>epilogue_begin</code>, are boolean flags (initialized to
+<code>false</code>) that indicate whether the next position emitted
+should be considered a method prologue or epilogue. The state machine
+must also track the name and type of the last local variable live in
+each register for the <code>DBG_RESTART_LOCAL</code> code.</p>

+strings, where duplicated elements naturally refer to the same
+underlying data, and the signature is taken to be the concatenation of

+<h1>Dalvik VM Instruction Formats</h1>
+<p>Copyright &copy; 2007 The Android Open Source Project
+
+<h2>Introduction and Overview</h2>
+
+<p>This document lists the instruction formats used by Dalvik bytecode
+and is meant to be used in conjunction with the
+<a href="dalvik-bytecode.html">bytecode reference document</a>.</p>
+
+<h3>Bitwise descriptions</h3>
+
+<p>The first column in the format table lists the bitwise layout of
+the format. It consists of one or more space-separated "words" each of
+which describes a 16-bit code unit. Each character in a word
+represents four bits, read from high bits to low, with vertical bars
+("<code>|</code>") interspersed to aid in reading. Uppercase letters
+in sequence from "<code>A</code>" are used to indicate fields within
+the format (which then get defined further by the syntax column). The term
+"<code>op</code>" is used to indicate the position of the eight-bit
+opcode within the format. A slashed zero ("<code>&Oslash;</code>") is
+used to indicate that all bits should be zero in the indicated
+position.</p>
+
+<p>For example, the format "<code>B|A|<i>op</i> CCCC</code>" indicates
+that the format consists of two 16-bit code units. The first word
+consists of the opcode in the low eight bits and a pair of four-bit
+values in the high eight bits; and the second word consists of a single
+16-bit value.</p>
+
+<h3>Format IDs</h3>
+
+<p>The second column in the format table indicates the short identifier
+for the format, which is used in other documents and in code to identify
+the format.</p>
+
+<p>Format IDs consist of three characters, two digits followed by a
+letter. The first digit indicates the number of 16-bit code units in the
+format. The second digit indicates the maximum number of registers that the
+format contains (maximum, since some formats can accomodate a variable
+number of registers), with the special designation "<code>r</code>" indicating
+that a range of registers is encoded. The final letter semi-mnemonically
+indicates the type of any extra data encoded by the format. For example,
+format "<code>21t</code>" is of length two, contains one register reference,
+and additionally contains a branch target.</p>
+
+<p>Suggested static linking formats have an additional "<code>s</code>" suffix,
+making them four characters total.</p>
+
+<p>The full list of typecode letters are as follows. Note that some
+forms have different sizes, depending on the format:</p>
+
+<table class="letters">
+<thead>
+<tr>

+  <th>Bit Sizes</th>
+  <th>Meaning</th>

+  <td>no additional data</td>
+</tr>

+</table>
+
+<h3>Syntax</h3>
+
+<p>The third column of the format table indicates the human-oriented
+syntax for instructions which use the indicated format. Each instruction
+starts with the named opcode and is optionally followed by one or
+more arguments, themselves separated with commas.</p>
+
+<p>Wherever an argument refers to a field from the first column, the
+letter for that field is indicated in the syntax, repeated once for
+each four bits of the field. For example, an eight-bit field labeled
+"<code>BB</code>" in the first column would also be labeled
+"<code>BB</code>" in the syntax column.</p>
+
+<p>Arguments which name a register have the form "<code>v<i>X</i></code>".
+The prefix "<code>v</code>" was chosen instead of the more common
+"<code>r</code>" exactly to avoid conflicting with (non-virtual) architectures
+on which a Dalvik virtual machine might be implemented which themselves
+use the prefix "<code>r</code>" for their registers. (That is, this
+decision makes it possible to talk about both virtual and real registers
+together without the need for circumlocution.)</p>
+
+<p>Arguments which indicate a literal value have the form
+"<code>#+<i>X</i></code>". Some formats indicate literals that only
+have non-zero bits in their high-order bits; for these, the zeroes
+are represented explicitly in the syntax, even though they do not
+appear in the bitwise representation.</p>
+
+<p>Arguments which indicate a relative instruction address offset have the
+form "<code>+<i>X</i></code>".</p>
+
+<p>Arguments which indicate a literal constant pool index have the form
+"<code><i>kind</i>@<i>X</i></code>", where "<code><i>kind</i></code>"
+indicates which constant pool is being referred to. Each opcode that
+uses such a format explicitly allows only one kind of constant; see
+the opcode reference to figure out the correspondence. The four
+kinds of constant pool are "<code>string</code>" (string pool index),
+"<code>type</code>" (type pool index), "<code>field</code>" (field
+pool index), and "<code>meth</code>" (method pool index).</p>
+
+<p>Similar to the representation of constant pool indices, there are
+also suggested (optional) forms that indicate prelinked offsets or
+indices. These prelinked values include "<code>vtaboff</code>"
+(vtable offset), "<code>fieldoff</code>" (field offset), and
+"<code>iface</code>" (interface pool index).</p>
+
+<p>In the cases where a format value isn't explictly part of the syntax
+but instead picks a variant, each variant is listed with the prefix
+"<code>[<i>X</i>=<i>N</i>]</code>" (e.g., "<code>[B=2]</code>") to indicate
+the correspondence.</p>
