本文主要是介绍Android项目打包开启proguard的混淆优化带来的问题，希望对大家解决编程问题提供一定的参考价值，需要的开发者们随着小编来一起学习吧！

1.引入一个sdk以后，打包报错：
[INFO] Unexpected error while evaluating instruction:
[INFO] Class = [com/alibaba/mobileim/channel/service/SOManager]
[INFO] Method = [_loadFile()Z]
[INFO] Instruction = [536] aload v6
[INFO] Exception = [java.lang.NullPointerException] (null)
[INFO] Unexpected error while performing partial evaluation:
[INFO] Class = [com/alibaba/mobileim/channel/service/SOManager]
[INFO] Method = [_loadFile()Z]
[INFO] Exception = [java.lang.NullPointerException] (null)
[INFO] java.lang.NullPointerException)
我们知道ProGuard运行结束后，会输出以下文件：
dump.txt 描述.apk文件中所有类文件间的内部结构
mapping.txt 列出了原始的类，方法和字段名与混淆后代码间的映射。这个文件很重要，当你从release版本中收到一个bug报告时，可以用它来翻译被混淆的代码。
seeds.txt 列出了未被混淆的类和成员
usage.txt 列出了从.apk中删除的代码
查看我们的seeds.txt:
com.alibaba.mobileim.channel.service.SOManager: boolean _loadFile()
说明，SOManager类的_loadFile()方法是没有被混淆掉的。
2.看上去是处理SOManager类的_loadFile()方法的第536条指令的时候出的问题，反编译SOManager.class：
507: invokevirtual #112; //Method java/io/IOException.getMessage:()Ljava/lang/String;
510: invokevirtual #15; //Method java/lang/StringBuilder.append:(Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/StringBuilder;
513: ldc #110; //String
515: invokevirtual #15; //Method java/lang/StringBuilder.append:(Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/StringBuilder;
518: getstatic #41; //Field logInfo:Ljava/lang/StringBuffer;
521: invokevirtual #100; //Method java/lang/StringBuilder.append:(Ljava/lang/Object;)Ljava/lang/StringBuilder;
524: invokevirtual #19; //Method java/lang/StringBuilder.toString:()Ljava/lang/String;
527: invokespecial #55; //Method java/lang/UnsatisfiedLinkError."<init>":(Ljava/lang/String;)V
530: athrow
531: astore 6
533: jsr 539
536: aload 6
538: athrow
539: astore 7
541: aload 4
543: ifnull 574
可以看到，536行的字节码是：
536: aload 6
就是处理这条指令的时候抛出的空指针。至此，基本可以断定问题出在字节码上！
3.那可能是什么原因导致的呢？
（1）是不是sdk使用的javac的版本不对，导致proguard无法处理里面的字节码，但是maven库里面的jar包不是开发者手动上传的，因此排除。
（2）是不是proguard的版本太低？从官网的1.0一直试到了最新的4.11，还是不行。
没办法继续看官网山的文档，在http://proguard.sourceforge.net/#manual/usage.html页面，看到Optimization Options这一章节的前三个选项：
-dontoptimize
Specifies not to optimize the input class files. By default, optimization is enabled; all methods are optimized at a bytecode level.
不优化输入的class文件。默认情况下是启用优化的，对所有的方法都会在字节码级别进行优化！
-optimizations optimization_filter
Specifies the optimizations to be enabled and disabled, at a more fine-grained level. Only applicable when optimizing. This is an expert option.
在细粒度级别设置启用和禁用的优化选项，只有当启用优化的时候才可用。这是一个专家级选项！
-optimizationpasses n
Specifies the number of optimization passes to be performed. By default, a single pass is performed. Multiple passes may result in further improvements.
If no improvements are found after an optimization pass, the optimization is ended. Only applicable when optimizing.
这个看源码貌似是根据optimizationpasses做了一个循环，进行多次优化:
proguard.ant.ProGuardTask.java:
if (configuration.optimize){
for (int optimizationPass = 0;optimizationPass < configuration.optimizationPasses;optimizationPass++){
if (!optimize()){
// Stop optimizing if the code doesn't improve any further.
break;
}
// Shrink again, if we may.
if (configuration.shrink){
// Don't print any usage this time around.
configuration.printUsage = null;
configuration.whyAreYouKeeping = null;
shrink();
}
}
}
也就是说Optimization Options会对字节码做修改，我们的proguard.cfg的一开头就是：
#---------------
# 混淆优化
#---------------
-optimizationpasses 7
也就是说我们是开启了混淆优化的，这就说会对字节码做修改，极有可能是这个原因！换用-dontoptimize试一下，果然可以了！
4.具体proguard对字节码会做那些优化呢？
看这个文档http://proguard.sourceforge.net/#FAQ.html：
What kind of optimizations does ProGuard support?
Apart from removing unused classes, fields, and methods in the shrinking step, ProGuard can also perform optimizations at the bytecode level, inside methods. Thanks to techniques like control flow analysis, data flow analysis, partial evaluation, and liveness analysis, ProGuard can:
Evaluate constant expressions.
Remove unnecessary field accesses and method calls.
Remove unnecessary branches.
Remove unnecessary comparisons and instanceof tests.
Remove unused code blocks.
Merge identical code blocks.
Reduce variable allocation.
Remove write-only fields and unused method parameters.
Inline constant fields, method parameters, and return values.
Inline methods that are short or only called once.
Make methods private, static, and final when possible.
Make classes static and final when possible.
Replace interfaces that have single implementations.
Perform over 200 peephole optimizations, like replacing ...*2 by ...<<1.
Optionally remove logging code.
The positive effects of these optimizations will depend on your code and on the virtual machine on which the code is executed. Simple virtual machines may benefit more than advanced virtual machines with sophisticated JIT compilers. At the very least, your bytecode may become a bit smaller.
Some notable optimizations that aren't supported yet:
Moving constant expressions out of loops.
Optimizations that require escape analysis.
真是不看不知道，一看吓一跳！竟然会做这么多种优化！
然后看到这个页面：http://proguard.sourceforge.net/#manual/limitations.html
When using ProGuard, you should be aware of a few technical issues, all of which are easily avoided or resolved:
For best results, ProGuard's optimization algorithms assume that the processed code never intentionally throws NullPointerExceptions or
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsExceptions, or even OutOfMemoryErrors or StackOverflowErrors, in order to achieve something useful.
For instance, it may remove a method call myObject.myMethod() if that call wouldn't have any effect.
It ignores the possibility that myObject might be null, causing a NullPointerException.
In some way this is a good thing: optimized code may throw fewer exceptions. Should this entire assumption be false,
you'll have to switch off optimization using the -dontoptimize option.
ProGuard's optimization algorithms currently also assume that the processed code never creates busy-waiting loops without at least testing on a volatile field. Again, it may remove such loops. Should this assumption be false, you'll have to switch off optimization using the -dontoptimize option.
If an input jar and a library jar contain classes in the same package, the obfuscated output jar may contain class names that overlap with class names in the library jar. This is most likely if the library jar has been obfuscated before, as it will then probably contain classes named 'a', 'b', etc. Packages should therefore never be split across input jars and library jars.
When obfuscating, ProGuard writes out class files named "a.class", "b.class", etc. If a package contains a large number of classes, ProGuard may also write out "aux.class". Inconveniently, Windows refuses to create files with this reserved name (among a few other names). It's generally better to write the output to a jar, in order to avoid such problems.
大概意思是说，有的优化可能会导致空指针，就像我们的例子中，就是抛出了空指针！
然后在http://proguard.sourceforge.net/index.html#manual/examples.html这个页面，看到一行：
-optimizations !code/simplification/arithmetic
The -optimizations option disables some arithmetic simplifications that Dalvik 1.0 and 1.5 can't handle.
Note that the Dalvik VM also can't handle aggressive overloading (of static fields).
也就是说有的优化Dalvik是不支持的，所以要排除掉！所以，很可能是有些优化我们没有排除掉！
看一下我们的配置文件里面设置的优化选项：
# ----优化选项----
-optimizations !code/simplification/arithmetic,!field/*,!class/merging/*
这几个选项具体是干嘛的？
参考：https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-developers/v_o0AQ7o8gI
#1: !code/simplification/arithmetic: This removes things like turning
"3 + 3" into "6". A shame, but understandable, because there are much
more complicated optimizations to the byte code that Dalvik doesn't
handle well. This one is completely understood.
#2: !field/*: This refers to the following:
field/removal/writeonly - Removes write-only fields.
field/marking/private - Marks fields as private, whenever possible.
field/propagation/value - Propagates the values of fields across
methods.
#3: !class/merging/*: This disables merging two or more classes
horizontally or vertically (in the same class hierarchy).
那么，具体有多少种可以使用的优化选项呢？看这里：http://stuff.mit.edu/afs/sipb/project/android/sdk/android-sdk-linux/tools/proguard/docs/index.html#manual/optimizations.html
http://proguard.sourceforge.net->manual-> ref card->-optimizations optimization_filter
Optimizations
The optimization step of ProGuard can be switched off with the -dontoptimize option. For more fine-grained control over individual optimizations, experts can use the -optimizations option, with a filter based on the optimization names listed below. The filter works like any filter in ProGuard.
The following wildcards are supported:
? matches any single character in an optimization name.
* matches any part of an optimization name.
An optimization that is preceded by an exclamation mark '!' is excluded from further attempts to match with subsequent optimization names in the filter. Make sure to specify filters correctly, since they are not checked for potential typos.
For example, "code/simplification/variable,code/simplification/arithmetic" only performs the two specified peephole optimizations.
For example, "!method/propagation/*" performs all optimizations, except the ones that propagate values between methods.
For example, "!code/simplification/advanced,code/simplification/*" only performs all peephole optimizations.
Some optimizations necessarily imply other optimizations. These are then indicated. Note that the list is likely to change over time, as optimizations are added and reorganized.

对应的源码proguard.optimize.Optimizer.java：

private static final String CODE_REMOVAL_VARIABLE = "code/removal/variable";
private static final String CODE_REMOVAL_EXCEPTION = "code/removal/exception";
private static final String CODE_ALLOCATION_VARIABLE = "code/allocation/variable";
那肯定是这里面的有些优化选项导致了无法打包这个问题！
很不幸的是，我把所有的优化选项全部排除掉以后，还是无法打包！
所以，只能怀疑我们项目的proguard的版本和上面列出的优化选项不匹配！更换最新的proguard4.11的jar包，然后挨个选项的试，最终试出来了：
-optimizations !code/simplification/*,!field/*,!class/merging/*,!method/removal/parameter,!method/propagation/*,!method/marking/static,!class/unboxing/enum,!code/removal/advanced,!code/allocation/variable
总结一下：
（1）ProGuard不光能做混淆，还能做代码优化。
（2）ProGuard不是专门为android的Dalvik使用的。
（3）就算是Sun的Hotspot JVM也会有不支持的优化选项。
（4）不知道未来哪个优化选项会导致打包通不过，而我们主要是使用ProGuard的混淆功能，干脆-dontoptimize，一劳永逸！）

那肯定是这里面的有些优化选项导致了无法打包这个问题！
很不幸的是，我把所有的优化选项全部排除掉以后，还是无法打包！
所以，只能怀疑我们项目的proguard的版本和上面列出的优化选项不匹配！更换最新的proguard4.11的jar包，然后挨个选项的试，最终试出来了：
-optimizations !code/simplification/*,!field/*,!class/merging/*,!method/removal/parameter,!method/propagation/*,!method/marking/static,!class/unboxing/enum,!code/removal/advanced,!code/allocation/variable
总结一下：
（1）ProGuard不光能做混淆，还能做代码优化。
（2）ProGuard不是专门为android的Dalvik使用的。
（3）就算是Sun的Hotspot JVM也会有不支持的优化选项。
（4）不知道未来哪个优化选项会导致打包通不过，而我们主要是使用ProGuard的混淆功能，干脆-dontoptimize，一劳永逸！）
这篇关于Android项目打包开启proguard的混淆优化带来的问题的文章就介绍到这儿，希望我们推荐的文章对编程师们有所帮助！
