AUXILIARY PROPERTIES
sablevm.boot.class.path
changes boot classpath
sablevm.boot.library.path
changes native libraries patch which are used by boot classpath
(WARNING: these two above are very fragile settings; expect cannot create vm messages if you use them in a wrong way; in particular as of this moment SableVM does not support more than one path in the above properties)
MEMORY USAGE CONTROL PROPERTIES
There exist a number of properties that can be used to tune memory usage of SableVM. Normally it is NOT needed to use any of them, as SableVM will take care of allocating as much memory, as your application needs and of freeing the memory when it is not needed anymore. Still, there are some situations when you want to tune or limit maximum memory usage.
The general pattern of available memory controlling properties is:
sablevm.[stack,classloader.heap].size.[min,max,increment]
which tranlates
into the following set of available properties:
sablevm.stack.size.min
sablevm.stack.size.max
sablevm.stack.size.increment
sablevm.heap.size.min
sablevm.heap.size.max
sablevm.heap.size.increment
sablevm.classloader.size.min
sablevm.classloader.size.max
sablevm.classloader.size.increment
These properties allow for control over java stack, java heap, and java class loader.
Meaning of the min, max, increment suffixes is the following:
...min initial size in bytes,
...max maximal size in bytes (hard limit); 0 means "no limit",
...increment step by which the amount of memory is incremented when needed, up to the limit specified in max, if any; 0 means "fixed size" (no changes allowed, min is used).
DEBUGGING PROPERTIES
sablevm.verbose.methods
when operating on a binary compiled with debugging features - setting this property to true outputs names of every method that is to be executed
sablevm.verbose.instructions
when operating on a binary compiled with debugging features - setting this property to true outputs names of every instruction that is to be executed (WARNING: expect flood!!!)
sablevm.verbose.synchronization
when operating on a binary compiled with debugging features - setting this property to true causes SableVM to dump a stack trace on every locking contention and on fat lock acquisition.
