Abstract
Java bytecode decompilation is a process of reverse translation that restores Java source code by the corresponding bytecode. Java bytecode is an intermediate representation based on abstract stack machine. It may have arbitrary control flow graph, whereas the Java language contains control structures that always form a strict hierarchy. Decompilation aims at restoring all control structures, including Java exception handling blocks. In the Excelsior RVM (Java Virtual Machine with a static compiler), bytecode is decompiled in a structural intermediate representation for further optimization. When building exception handling blocks, the Excelsior RVM’s compiler assumes that the bytecode must be emitted by the standard Java source to bytecode compiler and uses a few heuristics to make reverse transformation. However, it is not always possible if the bytecode is produced by other instruments. This paper presents a decompilation algorithm that produces exception handling blocks given any correct bytecode. The algorithm has been implemented, integrated into the Excelsior RVM and tested on real-world applications.
