I have found the clone()
method of Object
in Java:
protected native Object clone() throws CloneNotSupportedException;
Is the source of this method available? Maybe in OpenJDK?
All of the native code for an app is stored in the libs/ directory in the root of the apk. It's compiled ARM or x86 code, or both. You can find it in libs/architecture_type/lib_name.so. You can dissemble the code with objdump or gdb.
In Java, the native keyword is used to declare a method which is implemented in platform-dependent code such as C or C++. When a method is marked as native, it cannot have a body and must ends with a semicolon instead.
Native methods are Java methods that start in a language other than Java. Native methods can access system-specific functions and APIs that are not available directly in Java. Whereas the Java methods are written specifically in Java as language.
From jdk/src/share/native/java/lang/Object.c
static JNINativeMethod methods[] = {
{"hashCode", "()I", (void *)&JVM_IHashCode},
{"wait", "(J)V", (void *)&JVM_MonitorWait},
{"notify", "()V", (void *)&JVM_MonitorNotify},
{"notifyAll", "()V", (void *)&JVM_MonitorNotifyAll},
{"clone", "()Ljava/lang/Object;", (void *)&JVM_Clone},
};
Meaning its a function pointer(probably done so they could implement platform-specific native code)
doing a grep for JVM_Clone produces, among other things:
(from hotspot/src/share/vm/prims/jvm.cpp)
JVM_ENTRY(jobject, JVM_Clone(JNIEnv* env, jobject handle))
JVMWrapper("JVM_Clone");

guarantee(klass->is_cloneable(), "all arrays are cloneable");
} else {
guarantee(obj->is_instance(), "should be instanceOop");
bool cloneable = klass->is_subtype_of(SystemDictionary::Cloneable_klass());
guarantee(cloneable == klass->is_cloneable(), "incorrect cloneable flag");
}
#endif

I found these files, but all they do is import the function from elsewhere. I can't find the actual source (try asking a Hotspot dev).
Object.c jvm.h
Edit: Here's a link to the actual source online (Thanks user439407 for finding which file it was in)
