In general, it means that we tell the framework about the events we are interested in and how we want to react to them. Similarly, in the onDispose method we check the options for the state of the PRINT_COVERAGE option, and if it is enabled we call the printResults method which will print our results. We use this to check whether the ENABLED option has been set and if so we enable our tool by calling the enable method. This object gives a lot of useful information, but for the onCreate method we are primarily interested in the getOptions method, which can be used to read which options are passed to the tool. Returning to the onCreate method, as an argument, we receive an instance of the Env class.

It is annotation-based, and examples for such options are the ENABLED and PRINT_COVERAGE fields of SimpleCoverageInstrument.Д«oth of these are static final fields of the type OptionKey annotated with Option which, similar to the Registration annotation, provides some metadata for the option.ДЄgain, as with the Registration annotation, for the Option annotation to be effective the DSL processor is needed, which generates a subclass of OptionDescriptors (in our case named SimpleCoverageInstrumentOptionDescriptors).ДЄn instance of this class should be returned from the getOptionDescriptors method to let the framework know which options the instrument provides. These options allow tool users to control the tool either from the command line or when creating polyglot contexts. The Truffle language implementation framework comes with its own system for specifying command-line options. We will discuss their implementations later, but first let us discuss the remaining one: getOptionDescriptors. The onCreate and onDispose methods are self-explanatory: they are called by the framework when the instrument is created and disposed.

These are onCreate, onDispose, and getOptionDescriptors.

Now we will look back at the implementation of the SimpleCoverageInstrument class, namely which methods from TruffleInstrument it overrides. This is, in the case of Simple Tool, done automatically by having the DSL processor as a dependency in the Maven configuration.

In order for this annotation to beД®ffective the DSL processor needs to process this class. Whether the instrument is internal or not. Instrument: ID, name, version, which services the instrument provides, and With the Instrument API, i.e., that it will be automaticallyДiscovered by the framework.

Unsurprisingly, the simple tool code base does exactly this, creating the SimpleCoverageInstrument class.ДЄnnotation on the class ensures that the newly created instrument is registered The main starting point for tools is subclassing the TruffleInstrument class. On application exit, the tool calculates and prints per-line coverage information.The tool keeps track of executed source code.The tool keeps track of loaded source code.Mind, we can define some high-level requirements from our tool: Lines was executed, as well as exactly which lines were executed. Should provide the developer with information on what percentage of source code RequirementsДЄs mentioned before, Simple Tool is a code coverage tool. Instrument API so we encourage you to check the javadoc for more details. These sections do not cover all of the features of the The steps needed to build and run a GraalVM tool, using Simple Tool source codeДЄs the running example. The following sections will provide a guided tour of We recommend cloning the repository and exploring the source code as a starting Javadoc-rich Maven project which implements a simple code coverage tool. To provide an easier starting point for tool developers we have created a Instruments can track very fine-grained, VM-level runtime events to profile, inspect, and analyze the runtime behavior of applications running on GraalVM. The Instrument API is used to implement such instruments. Tools are sometimes referred to as Instruments within the GraalVM platform.
