Dalvik JIT workflow

Question

I am an interested on working on dalvik vm (Android). I am trying to go through the code of JIT to find out the operations performed by it and how it selects the traces. I am unable to follow the code. So I request all to help me by suggesting relevant functions in JIT that performs trace selection and translation

Answer 1

You could try

git log --grep JIT

in the dalvik repository, and looking at the changes and the files changed. That should get you a good idea of where the JIT related code is.
