As discussed in the Oracle documentation, the code cache usage can be shown when the application exits, by specifying –XX:+PrintCodeCache on the Java launcher command line. The output looks similar to the following: 

CodeCache: size=262144Kb used=454Kb max_used=457Kb free=261690Kb
  • size: The maximum size of the code cache.
  • used: The amount of code cache memory actually in use.
  • max_used: The high water mark for code cache usage.
  • free: size minus used.
