redefine
========
> Load the external `*.class` files to re-define the loaded peer class in JVM.
Reference: [Instrumentation#redefineClasses](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/instrument/Instrumentation.html#redefineClasses-java.lang.instrument.ClassDefinition...-)
> Notes: Re-defined classes cannot be restored. There are chances that redefining may fail due to some reasons, for example: there's new field introduced in the new version of the class, pls. refer to JDK's documentation for the limitations.
### Options
|Name|Specification|
|---:|:---|
|`[c:]`|hashcode of the class loader|
|`[p:]`|absolute path of the external `*.class`, multiple paths are separated with 'space'|
### Usage
```bash
redefine -p /tmp/Test.class
redefine -c 327a647b -p /tmp/Test.class /tmp/Test$Inner.class
```
### Restrictions of the redefine command
* New field/method is not allowed
* The function that is running, no exit can not take effect, such as the new `System.out.println` added below, only the `run()` function will take effect.
```java
public class MathGame {
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
MathGame game = new MathGame();
while (true) {
game.run();
TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(1);
// This doesn't work because the code keeps running in while
System.out.println("in loop");
}
}
public void run() throws InterruptedException {
// This works because the run() function ends completely every time
System.out.println("call run()");
try {
int number = random.nextInt();
List<Integer> primeFactors = primeFactors(number);
print(number, primeFactors);
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(String.format("illegalArgumentCount:%3d, ", illegalArgumentCount) + e.getMessage());
}
}
```
