Java and .NET are typically JIT compiled, so you'd need to use something like jitwatch (for JVM) to get the actual generated assembly for any such methods. Analyzing the bytecode can give some insight into how the compiler is likely to treat the code (inlining, intrisics, etc.), of course, so it's not useless, just not the whole story. And, as you mention, JVM (and .NET) languages can also be AOT compiled. In those cases you could use more standard analysis similar to that in the OP.
