Abstract

The present disclosure provide a method and an apparatus for identifying hotspot intermediate code. The method for identifying hotspot intermediate code includes: when a language virtual machine executes a to-be-identified function, obtaining an instruction address in an instruction counter, and determining whether a native instruction corresponding to the instruction address is a native instruction of the to-be-identified function; when the native instruction corresponding to the instruction address is the native instruction of the to-be-identified function, increasing a current hotness value of the to-be-identified function by a preset value; and determining whether an updated hotness value of the to-be-identified function is greater than or equal to a hotness threshold of the to-be-identified function, and when the updated hotness value of the to-be-identified function is greater than or equal to the hotness threshold of the to-be-identified function, using intermediate code of the to-be-identified function as hotspot intermediate code.
