Implementation

Write a C program that documents how to interpret PrintCompilation output.

Requirements:

Print a header explaining the -XX:+PrintCompilation flag
Show at least three sample log lines with realistic fields
Label each field: timestamp, compile ID, tier level, method name, size
Explain what deoptimization means and show a sample deopt line
Explain what an uncommon trap is in one sentence
Output must contain: PrintCompilation, compilation log, deoptimization, and JVM

Why This Matters

-XX:+PrintCompilation is a real flag JVM performance engineers use in production incident response, and tools like JITWatch exist specifically to visualize this exact log format to spot methods that keep deoptimizing. Recognizing a 'made not entrant' deopt line in these logs is often the difference between diagnosing why a hot trading-system method suddenly got slow and staring at a mystery latency spike.
