<specification label="JVM(TM) Tool Interface">
  <title subtitle="Version">
    <tm>JVM</tm> Tool Interface
  </title>

  <intro id="whatIs" label="What is the JVM Tool Interface?">
    The <tm>JVM</tm> Tool Interface (<jvmti/>)
    is a programming interface used by development and monitoring tools.
    It provides both a way to inspect the state and
    to control the execution of applications running in the
    <tm>Java</tm> virtual machine (VM).
    <p/>
    <jvmti/> is intended to provide a VM interface for the full breadth of tools
    that need access to VM state, including but not limited to: profiling,
    debugging, monitoring, thread analysis, and coverage analysis tools.
    <p/>
    <jvmti/> may not be available in all implementations of the <tm>Java</tm> virtual
    machine.
    <p/>
    <jvmti/> is a two-way interface.
    A client of <jvmti/>, hereafter called an <i>agent</i>,
    can be notified of
    interesting occurrences through <internallink id="EventSection">events</internallink>.
    <jvmti/>
    can query and control the application through many
    <internallink id="FunctionSection">functions</internallink>,
    either in response to events or
    independent of them.
    <p/>
    Agents run in the same process with and communicate directly with
    the virtual machine executing
    the application being examined.  This communication is
    through a native interface (<jvmti/>). The native in-process interface allows
    maximal control with minimal intrusion on the part of a tool.
    Typically, agents are relatively compact. They can be controlled
    by a separate process which implements the bulk of a tool's
    function without interfering with the target application's normal execution.
  </intro>

  <intro id="architecture" label="Architecture">
    Tools can be written directly to <jvmti/> or indirectly
    through higher level interfaces.
    The Java Platform Debugger Architecture includes <jvmti/>, but also
    contains higher-level, out-of-process debugger interfaces. The higher-level
    interfaces are more appropriate than <jvmti/> for many tools.
    For more information on the Java Platform Debugger Architecture,
    see the
    <externallink id="jpda/architecture.html">Java
      Platform Debugger Architecture website</externallink>.
  </intro>

  <intro id="writingAgents" label="Writing Agents">
    Agents can be written in any native language that supports C
    language calling conventions and C or C++
    definitions.
    <p/>
    The function, event, data type, and constant definitions needed for
    using <jvmti/> are defined in the include file <code>jvmti.h</code>.
    To use these definitions add the <tm>J2SE</tm> include directory
    to your include path and add
    <example>
#include &lt;jvmti.h&gt;
    </example>
    to your source code.
  </intro>

  <intro id="deployingAgents" label="Deploying Agents">
    An agent is deployed in a platform specific manner but is typically the
    platform equivalent of a dynamic library. On the <tm>Windows</tm> operating
    system, for example, an agent library is a "Dynamic Linked Library" (DLL).
    On <tm>Linux</tm> Operating Environment, an agent library is a shared object
    (<code>.so</code> file).
    <p/>

    An agent may be started at VM startup by specifying the agent library
    name using a <internallink id="starting">command line option</internallink>.
    Some implementations may support a mechanism to <internallink id="onattach">
    start agents</internallink> in the live <functionlink id="GetPhase">phase</functionlink>.
    The details of how this is initiated are implementation specific.
  </intro>

    <intro id="entryPoint" label="Statically Linked Agents (since version 1.2.3)">

      A native JVMTI Agent may be <i>statically linked</i> with the VM.
      The manner in which the library and VM image are combined is
      implementation-dependent.
      An agent L whose image has been combined with the VM is defined as
      <i>statically linked</i> if and only if the agent exports a function
      called Agent_OnLoad_L.
<p/>
      If a <i>statically linked</i> agent L exports a function called
      Agent_OnLoad_L and a function called Agent_OnLoad, the Agent_OnLoad
      function will be ignored.
      If an agent L is <i>statically linked</i>, an Agent_OnLoad_L
      function will be invoked with the same arguments and expected return
      value as specified for the Agent_OnLoad function.
      An agent L that is <i>statically linked</i> will prohibit an agent of
      the same name from being loaded dynamically.
<p/>
      The VM will invoke the Agent_OnUnload_L function of the agent, if such
      a function is exported, at the same point during VM execution as it would
      have called the dynamic entry point Agent_OnUnLoad. A statically loaded
      agent cannot be unloaded. The Agent_OnUnload_L function will still be
      called to do any other agent shutdown related tasks.
      If a <i>statically linked</i> agent L exports a function called
      Agent_OnUnLoad_L and a function called Agent_OnUnLoad, the Agent_OnUnLoad
      function will be ignored.
<p/>
      If an agent L is <i>statically linked</i>, an Agent_OnAttach_L function
      will be invoked with the same arguments and expected return value as
      specified for the Agent_OnAttach function.
      If a <i>statically linked</i> agent L exports a function called
      Agent_OnAttach_L and a function called Agent_OnAttach, the Agent_OnAttach
      function will be ignored.
</intro>

  <intro id="starting" label="Agent Command Line Options">
    The term "command-line option" is used below to
    mean options supplied in the <code>JavaVMInitArgs</code> argument
    to the <code>JNI_CreateJavaVM</code> function of the JNI
    Invocation API.
    <p/>
    One of the two following
    command-line options is used on VM startup to
    properly load and run agents.
    These arguments identify the library containing
    the agent as well as an options
    string to be passed in at startup.
    <dl>
      <dt><code>-agentlib:</code><i>&lt;agent-lib-name&gt;</i><code>=</code><i>&lt;options&gt;</i></dt>
      <dd>
        The name following <code>-agentlib:</code> is the name of the
        library to load.  Lookup of the library, both its full name and location,
        proceeds in a platform-specific manner.
        Typically, the <i>&lt;agent-lib-name&gt;</i> is expanded to an
        operating system specific file name.
        The <i>&lt;options&gt;</i> will be passed to the agent on start-up.
        For example, if the option
        <code>-agentlib:foo=opt1,opt2</code> is specified, the VM will attempt to
        load the shared library <code>foo.dll</code> from the system <code>PATH</code>
        under <tm>Windows</tm> or <code>libfoo.so</code> from the
        <code>LD_LIBRARY_PATH</code> under <tm>Linux</tm>.
        If the agent library is statically linked into the executable
        then no actual loading takes place.
    <p/>

      <dd>
        The path following <code>-agentpath:</code> is the absolute path from which
        to load the library.
        No library name expansion will occur.
        The <i>&lt;options&gt;</i> will be passed to the agent on start-up.
        For example, if the option
        <code>-agentpath:c:\myLibs\foo.dll=opt1,opt2</code> is specified, the VM will attempt to
        load the shared library <code>c:\myLibs\foo.dll</code>. If the agent
        library is statically linked into the executable
        then no actual loading takes place.
    <p/>
      </dd>
    </dl>
    For a dynamic shared library agent, the start-up routine
    <internallink id="onload"><code>Agent_OnLoad</code></internallink>
    in the library will be invoked. If the agent library is statically linked
    into the executable then the system will attempt to invoke the
    <code>Agent_OnLoad_&lt;agent-lib-name&gt;</code> entry point where
    &lt;agent-lib-name&gt; is the basename of the
    agent. In the above example <code>-agentpath:c:\myLibs\foo.dll=opt1,opt2</code>,
    the system will attempt to find and call the <code>Agent_OnLoad_foo</code> start-up routine.
    <p/>
    Libraries loaded with <code>-agentlib:</code> or <code>-agentpath:</code>
    will be searched for JNI native method implementations to facilitate the
    use of Java programming language code in tools, as is needed for
    <internallink id="bci">bytecode instrumentation</internallink>.
    <p/>
    The agent libraries will be searched after all other libraries have been
    searched (agents wishing to override or intercept the native method
    implementations of non-agent methods can use the
    <eventlink id="NativeMethodBind">NativeMethodBind event</eventlink>).
    <p/>
    These switches do the above and nothing more - they do not change the
    state of the VM or <jvmti/>.  No command line options are needed
    to enable <jvmti/>
    or aspects of <jvmti/>, this is handled programmatically
    by the use of
    <internallink id="capability">capabilities</internallink>.

  <intro id="startup" label="Agent Start-Up">
    The VM starts each agent by invoking a start-up function.

    <internallink id="onload"><code>Agent_OnLoad</code></internallink>
    or <internallink id="onload"><code>Agent_OnLoad_L</code></internallink>

    for statically linked agents will be invoked.
    Exactly one call to a start-up function is made per agent.
  </intro>

  <intro id="onload" label="Agent Start-Up (OnLoad phase)">
    If an agent is started during the <code>OnLoad</code> phase then its
    agent library must export a start-up function with the following prototype:
    <example>
JNIEXPORT jint JNICALL
Agent_OnLoad(JavaVM *vm, char *options, void *reserved)</example>
    Or for a statically linked agent named 'L':
    <example>
JNIEXPORT jint JNICALL
Agent_OnLoad_L(JavaVM *vm, char *options, void *reserved)</example>

    The VM will start the agent by calling this function.
    It will be called early enough in VM initialization that:
    <ul>
      <li><functionlink id="SetSystemProperty">system properties</functionlink>
        may be set before they have been used in the start-up of the VM</li>
      <li>the full set of
        <internallink id="capability">capabilities</internallink>
        is still available (note that capabilities that configure the VM
        may only be available at this time--see the
        <internallink id="capability">Capability function section</internallink>)</li>
      <li>no bytecodes have executed</li>
      <li>no classes have been loaded</li>
      <li>no objects have been created</li>
    </ul>
    <p/>
    The VM will call the <code>Agent_OnLoad</code> or
    <code>Agent_OnLoad_&lt;agent-lib-name&gt;</code> function with
    <i>&lt;options&gt;</i> as the second argument -
    that is, using the command-line option examples,
    <code>"opt1,opt2"</code> will be passed to the <code>char *options</code>
    argument of <code>Agent_OnLoad</code>.
    The <code>options</code> argument is encoded as a
    <internallink id="mUTF">modified UTF-8</internallink> string.
    If <i>=&lt;options&gt;</i> is not specified,
    a zero length string is passed to <code>options</code>.
    The lifespan of the <code>options</code> string is the
    <code>Agent_OnLoad</code> or <code>Agent_OnLoad_&lt;agent-lib-name&gt;</code>
    call.  If needed beyond this time the string or parts of the string must
    be copied.
    The period between when <code>Agent_OnLoad</code> is called and when it
    returns is called the <i>OnLoad phase</i>.
    Since the VM is not initialized during the OnLoad
    <functionlink id="GetPhase">phase</functionlink>,
    the set of allowed operations
    inside <code>Agent_OnLoad</code> is restricted (see the function descriptions for the
    functionality available at this time).
    The agent can safely process the options and set
    event callbacks with <functionlink id="SetEventCallbacks"></functionlink>. Once
    the VM initialization event is received
    (that is, the <eventlink id="VMInit">VMInit</eventlink>
    callback is invoked), the agent
    can complete its initialization.
    <rationale>
      Early startup is required so that agents can set the desired capabilities,
      many of which must be set before the VM is initialized.
      In JVMDI, the -Xdebug command-line option provided
      very coarse-grain control of capabilities.
      JVMPI implementations use various tricks to provide a single "JVMPI on" switch.
      No reasonable command-line
      option could provide the fine-grain of control required to balance needed capabilities vs
      performance impact.
      Early startup is also needed so that agents can control the execution
      environment - modifying the file system and system properties to install
      their functionality.
    </rationale>
    <p/>
    The return value from <code>Agent_OnLoad</code> or
    <code>Agent_OnLoad_&lt;agent-lib-name&gt;</code> is used to indicate an error.
    Any value other than zero indicates an error and causes termination of the VM.
  </intro>

  <intro id="onattach" label="Agent Start-Up (Live phase)">
    A VM may support a mechanism that allows agents to be started in the VM during the live
    <functionlink id="GetPhase">phase</functionlink>. The details of how this is supported,
    are implementation specific. For example, a tool may use some platform specific mechanism,
    or implementation specific API, to attach to the running VM, and request it start a given
    agent.
    <p/>
    If an agent is started during the live phase then its agent library
    must export a start-up function
    with the following prototype:
    <example>
JNIEXPORT jint JNICALL
Agent_OnAttach(JavaVM* vm, char *options, void *reserved)</example>
Or for a statically linked agent named 'L':
    <example>
JNIEXPORT jint JNICALL
Agent_OnAttach_L(JavaVM* vm, char *options, void *reserved)</example>

    <p/>
    The VM will start the agent by calling this function.
    It will be called in the context of a thread
    that is attached to the VM. The first argument <i>&lt;vm&gt;</i> is the Java VM.
    The <i>&lt;options&gt;</i> argument is the startup options provided to the agent.
    <i>&lt;options&gt;</i> is encoded as a <internallink id="mUTF">modified UTF-8
    </internallink> string.
    If startup options were not provided, a zero length string is passed to
    <code>options</code>. The lifespan of the <code>options</code> string is the
    <code>Agent_OnAttach</code> or <code>Agent_OnAttach_&lt;agent-lib-name&gt;</code> call.
    If needed beyond this time the string or parts of the string must be copied.
    <p/>
    Note that some <internallink id="capability">capabilities</internallink>
    may not be available in the live phase.
    <p/>
    The <code>Agent_OnAttach</code> or <code>Agent_OnAttach_&lt;agent-lib-name
    &gt;</code> function initializes the agent and returns a value
    to the VM to indicate if an error occurred. Any value other than zero indicates an error.
    An error does not cause the VM to terminate. Instead the VM ignores the error, or takes
    some implementation specific action -- for example it might print an error to standard error,
    or record the error in a system log.
  </intro>

  <intro id="onunload" label="Agent Shutdown">
    The library may optionally export a
    shutdown function with the following prototype:
    <example>
JNIEXPORT void JNICALL
Agent_OnUnload(JavaVM *vm)</example>
    Or for a statically linked agent named 'L':
    <example>
JNIEXPORT void JNICALL
Agent_OnUnload_L(JavaVM *vm)</example>

    This function will be called by the VM when the library is about to be unloaded.
    The library will be unloaded (unless it is statically linked into the
    executable) and this function will be called if some platform specific
    mechanism causes the unload (an unload mechanism is not specified in this document)
    or the library is (in effect) unloaded by the termination of the VM.
    VM termination includes normal termination and VM failure, including start-up failure,
    but not, of course, uncontrolled shutdown. An implementation may also
    choose to not call this function if the <code>Agent_OnAttach</code>/
    <code>Agent_OnAttach_L</code> function reported an error (returned a non-zero value).
    Note the distinction between this function and the
    <eventlink id="VMDeath">VM Death event</eventlink>: for the VM Death event
    to be sent, the VM must have run at least to the point of initialization and a valid
    <jvmti/> environment must exist which has set a callback for VMDeath
    and enabled the event.
    None of these are required for <code>Agent_OnUnload</code> or
    <code>Agent_OnUnload_&lt;agent-lib-name&gt;</code> and this function
    is also called if the library is unloaded for other reasons.
    In the case that a VM Death event is sent, it will be sent before this
    function is called (assuming this function is called due to VM termination).
    This function can be used to clean-up resources allocated by the agent.
  </intro>

  <intro id="tooloptions" label="JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS">
    Since the command-line cannot always be accessed or modified, for example in embedded VMs
    or simply VMs launched deep within scripts, a <code>JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS</code> variable is
    provided so that agents may be launched in these cases.
    <p/>
    Platforms which support environment variables or other named strings, may support the
    <code>JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS</code> variable.  This variable will be broken into options at white-space
    boundaries.  White-space characters include space, tab, carriage-return, new-line,
    vertical-tab, and form-feed.  Sequences of white-space characters are considered
    equivalent to a single white-space character.  No white-space is included in the options
    unless quoted.  Quoting is as follows:
    <ul>
        <li>All characters enclosed between a pair of single quote marks (''), except a single
        quote, are quoted.</li>
        <li>Double quote characters have no special meaning inside a pair of single quote marks.</li>
        <li>All characters enclosed between a pair of double quote marks (""), except a double
        quote, are quoted.</li>
        <li>Single quote characters have no special meaning inside a pair of double quote marks.</li>
        <li>A quoted part can start or end anywhere in the variable.</li>
        <li>White-space characters have no special meaning when quoted -- they are included in
        the option like any other character and do not mark white-space boundaries.</li>
        <li>The pair of quote marks is not included in the option.</li>
    </ul>
    <code>JNI_CreateJavaVM</code> (in the JNI Invocation API) will prepend these options to the options supplied
    in its <code>JavaVMInitArgs</code> argument. Platforms may disable this feature in cases where security is
    a concern; for example, the Reference Implementation disables this feature on Unix systems when
    the effective user or group ID differs from the real ID.
    This feature is intended to support the initialization of tools -- specifically including the
    launching of native or Java programming language agents.  Multiple tools may wish to use this
    feature, so the variable should not be overwritten, instead,  options should be appended to
    the variable.  Note that since the variable is processed at the time of the JNI Invocation
    API create VM call, options processed by a launcher (e.g., VM selection options) will not be handled.
  </intro>

  <intro id="environments" label="Environments">
    The <jvmti/> specification supports the use of multiple simultaneous
    <jvmti/> agents.
    Each agent has its own <jvmti/> environment.
    That is, the <jvmti/> state is
    separate for each agent - changes to one environment do not affect the
    others.  The state of a <jvmti/>
    environment includes:
    <ul>
      <li><functionlink id="SetEventCallbacks">the event callbacks</functionlink></li>
      <li><functionlink id="SetEventNotificationMode">the set of events which are enabled</functionlink></li>
      <li><internallink id="capability">the capabilities</internallink></li>
      <li><internallink id="memory">the memory allocation/deallocation hooks</internallink></li>
    </ul>
    Although their <jvmti/> state
    is separate, agents inspect and modify the shared state
    of the VM, they also share the native environment in which they execute.
    As such, an agent can perturb the results of other agents or cause them
    to fail.  It is the responsibility of the agent writer to specify the level
    of compatibility with other agents.  <jvmti/> implementations are not capable
    of preventing destructive interactions between agents. Techniques to reduce
    the likelihood of these occurrences are beyond the scope of this document.
    <p/>
    An agent creates a <jvmti/> environment
    by passing a <jvmti/> version
    as the interface ID to the JNI Invocation API function
    <externallink id="jni/invocation.html#getenv">
      <code>GetEnv</code></externallink>.
    See <internallink id="jvmtiEnvAccess">Accessing <jvmti/> Functions</internallink>
    for more details on the creation and use of
    <jvmti/> environments.
    Typically, <jvmti/> environments are created by calling <code>GetEnv</code> from

  </intro>

  <intro id="bci" label="Bytecode Instrumentation">
    This interface does not include some events that one might expect in an interface with
    profiling support.  Some examples include full speed
    method enter and exit events.  The interface instead provides support for
    <i>bytecode instrumentation</i>, the ability to alter the Java virtual machine
    bytecode instructions which comprise the target program.  Typically, these alterations
    are to add "events" to the code of a method - for example, to add, at the beginning of a method,
    a call to <code>MyProfiler.methodEntered()</code>.
    Since the changes are purely additive, they do not modify application
    state or behavior.
    Because the inserted agent code is standard bytecodes, the VM can run at full speed,
    optimizing not only the target program but also the instrumentation.  If the
    instrumentation does not involve switching from bytecode execution, no expensive
    state transitions are needed.  The result is high performance events.
    This approach also provides complete control to the agent: instrumentation can be
    restricted to "interesting" portions of the code (e.g., the end user's code) and
    can be conditional.  Instrumentation can run entirely in Java programming language
    code or can call into the native agent.  Instrumentation can simply maintain
    counters or can statistically sample events.
    <p/>
    Instrumentation can be inserted in one of three ways:
    <ul>
      <li>
        Static Instrumentation: The class file is instrumented before it
        is loaded into the VM - for example, by creating a duplicate directory of
        <code>*.class</code> files which have been modified to add the instrumentation.
        This method is extremely awkward and, in general, an agent cannot know
        the origin of the class files which will be loaded.
      </li>
      <li>
        Load-Time Instrumentation: When a class file is loaded by the VM, the raw
        bytes of the class file are sent for instrumentation to the agent.
        The <eventlink id="ClassFileLoadHook"/>
        event, triggered by the class load,
        provides this functionality.  This mechanism provides efficient
        and complete access to one-time instrumentation.
      </li>
      <li>
        Dynamic Instrumentation: A class which is already loaded (and possibly
        even running) is modified.  This optional feature is provided by the
        <eventlink id="ClassFileLoadHook"/> event, triggered by calling the
        <functionlink id="RetransformClasses"/> function.
        Classes can be modified multiple times and can be returned to their
        original state.
        The mechanism allows instrumentation which changes during the
        course of execution.
      </li>
    </ul>
    <p/>
    The class modification functionality provided in this interface
    is intended to provide a mechanism for instrumentation
    (the <eventlink id="ClassFileLoadHook"/> event
    and the <functionlink id="RetransformClasses"/> function)
    and, during development, for fix-and-continue debugging
    (the <functionlink id="RedefineClasses"/> function).
    <p/>
    Care must be taken to avoid perturbing dependencies, especially when
    instrumenting core classes.  For example, an approach to getting notification
    of every object allocation is to instrument the constructor on
    <code>Object</code>.  Assuming that the constructor is initially
    empty, the constructor could be changed to:
    <example>
      public Object() {
        MyProfiler.allocationTracker(this);
      }
    </example>
    However, if this change was made using the
    <eventlink id="ClassFileLoadHook"/>
    event then this might impact a typical VM as follows:
    the first created object will call the constructor causing a class load of
    <code>MyProfiler</code>; which will then cause
    object creation, and since <code>MyProfiler</code> isn't loaded yet,
    infinite recursion; resulting in a stack overflow.  A refinement of this
    would be to delay invoking the tracking method until a safe time.  For
    example, <code>trackAllocations</code> could be set in the
    handler for the <code>VMInit</code> event.
    <example>
      static boolean trackAllocations = false;

      public Object() {
        if (trackAllocations) {
          MyProfiler.allocationTracker(this);
        }
      }
    </example>
    <p/>
    The <functionlink id="SetNativeMethodPrefix"/> allows native methods
    to be instrumented by the use of wrapper methods.

  <p/>
  As an aid to agents that deploy supporting classes on the search path of
  the bootstrap class loader, or the search path of the class loader that

<functionsection label="Functions">
  <intro id="jvmtiEnvAccess" label="Accessing Functions">
    Native code accesses <jvmti/> features
    by calling <jvmti/> functions.
    Access to <jvmti/> functions is by use of an interface pointer
    in the same manner as
    <externallink id="jni/design.html">Java
      Native Interface (JNI) functions</externallink> are accessed.
    The <jvmti/> interface pointer is called the
    <i>environment pointer</i>.
    <p/>
    An environment pointer is a pointer to an environment and has
    the type <code>jvmtiEnv*</code>.
    An environment has information about its <jvmti/> connection.
    The first value in the environment is a pointer to the function table.
    The function table is an array of pointers to <jvmti/> functions.
    Every function pointer is at a predefined offset inside the
    array.
    <p/>
    When used from the C language:
    double indirection is used to access the functions;
    the environment pointer provides context and is the first
    parameter of each function call; for example:
    <example>
jvmtiEnv *jvmti;
...
jvmtiError err = (*jvmti)->GetLoadedClasses(jvmti, &amp;class_count, &amp;classes);
    </example>
    <p/>
    When used from the C++ language:
    functions are accessed as member functions of <code>jvmtiEnv</code>;
    the environment pointer is not passed to the function call; for example:
    <example>
jvmtiEnv *jvmti;
...
jvmtiError err = jvmti->GetLoadedClasses(&amp;class_count, &amp;classes);
    </example>
    Unless otherwise stated, all examples and declarations in this
    specification use the C language.
    <p/>
    A <jvmti/> environment can be obtained through the JNI Invocation API
    <code>GetEnv</code> function:
    <example>
jvmtiEnv *jvmti;
...
(*jvm)->GetEnv(jvm, &amp;jvmti, JVMTI_VERSION_1_0);
    </example>
    Each call to <code>GetEnv</code>
    creates a new <jvmti/> connection and thus
    a new <jvmti/> environment.
    The <code>version</code> argument of <code>GetEnv</code> must be
    a <jvmti/> version.
    The returned environment may have a different version than the
    requested version but the returned environment must be compatible.
    <code>GetEnv</code> will return <code>JNI_EVERSION</code> if a
    compatible version is not available, if <jvmti/> is not supported or
    <jvmti/> is not supported in the current VM configuration.
    Other interfaces may be added for creating <jvmti/> environments
    in specific contexts.
    Each environment has its own state (for example,
    <functionlink id="SetEventNotificationMode">desired events</functionlink>,
    <functionlink id="SetEventCallbacks">event handling functions</functionlink>, and
    <functionlink id="AddCapabilities">capabilities</functionlink>).
    An environment is released with
    <functionlink id="DisposeEnvironment"></functionlink>.
    Thus, unlike JNI which has one environment per thread, <jvmti/> environments work
    across threads and are created dynamically.
  </intro>

  <intro id="functionReturn" label="Function Return Values">
    <jvmti/> functions always return an
    <internallink id="ErrorSection">error code</internallink> via the
    <datalink id="jvmtiError"/> function return value.
    Some functions can return additional
    values through pointers provided by the calling function.
    In some cases, <jvmti/> functions allocate memory that your program must
    explicitly deallocate. This is indicated in the individual <jvmti/>
    function descriptions.  Empty lists, arrays, sequences, etc are
    returned as <code>NULL</code>.
    <p/>
    In the event that the <jvmti/> function encounters
    an error (any return value other than <code>JVMTI_ERROR_NONE</code>) the values
    of memory referenced by argument pointers is undefined, but no memory
    will have been allocated and no global references will have been allocated.
    If the error occurs because of invalid input, no action will have occurred.
  </intro>

<intro id="refs" label="Managing JNI Object References">
    <jvmti/> functions identify objects with JNI references
    (<datalink id="jobject"/> and <datalink id="jclass"/>)
    and their derivatives
    (<datalink id="jthread"/> and <datalink id="jthreadGroup"/>).
    References passed to
    <jvmti/> functions can be either global or local, but they must be
    strong references. All references returned by <jvmti/> functions are
    local references--these local references are created
    during the <jvmti/> call.
    Local references are a resource that must be managed (see the
    <externallink id="jni/functions.html#local-references">
      JNI Documentation</externallink>).
    When threads return from native code all local references
    are freed.  Note that some threads, including typical
    agent threads, will never return from native code.
    A thread is ensured the ability to create sixteen local
    references without the need for any explicit management.
    For threads executing a limited number of <jvmti/> calls before
    returning from native code
    (for example, threads processing events),
    it may be determined that no explicit management
    is needed.
    However, long running agent threads will need explicit
    local reference management--usually with the JNI functions
    <code>PushLocalFrame</code> and <code>PopLocalFrame</code>.
    Conversely, to preserve references beyond the
    return from native code, they must be converted to global references.
    These rules do not apply to <datalink id="jmethodID"/> and <datalink id="jfieldID"/>
    as they are not <datalink id="jobject"/>s.

      Unless the function explicitly states that the agent must bring
      a thread or the VM to a particular state (for example, suspended),
      the <jvmti/> implementation is responsible for bringing the VM to a
      safe and consistent state for performing the function.

        <code>JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_ALIVE</code> is set.
        <p/>
        And finally,
        <code>JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_TERMINATED</code> cannot be set unless
        <code>JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_ALIVE</code> is not set.
        <p/>
        The thread state representation is designed for extension in future versions
        of the specification; thread state values should be used accordingly, that is
        they should not be used as ordinals.
        Most queries can be made by testing a single bit, if use in a switch statement is desired,
        the state bits should be masked with the interesting bits.
        All bits not defined above are reserved for future use.
        A VM, compliant to the current specification, must set reserved bits to zero.
        An agent should ignore reserved bits --
        they should not be assumed to be zero and thus should not be included in comparisons.
        <p/>
        <b>Examples</b>
        <p/>
        Note that the values below exclude reserved and vendor bits.
        <p/>
        The state of a thread blocked at a <code>synchronized</code>-statement would be:
        <example>
            JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_ALIVE + JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_BLOCKED_ON_MONITOR_ENTER
        </example>
        The state of a thread which hasn't started yet would be:
        <example>
            0
        </example>
        The state of a thread at a <code>Object.wait(3000)</code> would be:
        <example>
            JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_ALIVE + JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_WAITING +
                JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_WAITING_WITH_TIMEOUT +
                JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_MONITOR_WAITING
        </example>
        The state of a thread suspended while runnable would be:
        <example>
            JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_ALIVE + JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_RUNNABLE + JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_SUSPENDED
        </example>
        <p/>
        <b>Testing the State</b>
        <p/>
        In most cases, the thread state can be determined by testing the one bit corresponding
        to that question.  For example, the code to test if a thread is sleeping:
        <example>
        jint state;
        jvmtiError err;

        err = (*jvmti)-&gt;GetThreadState(jvmti, thread, &amp;state);
        if (err == JVMTI_ERROR_NONE) {
           if (state &amp; JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_SLEEPING) {  ...
        </example>
        <p/>
        For waiting (that is, in <code>Object.wait</code>, parked, or sleeping) it would be:
        <example>
           if (state &amp; JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_WAITING) {  ...
        </example>
        For some states, more than one bit will need to be tested as is the case
        when testing if a thread has not yet been started:
        <example>
           if ((state &amp; (JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_ALIVE | JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_TERMINATED)) == 0)  {  ...
        </example>
        To distinguish timed from untimed <code>Object.wait</code>:
        <example>
           if (state &amp; JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_IN_OBJECT_WAIT)  {
             if (state &amp; JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_WAITING_WITH_TIMEOUT)  {
               printf("in Object.wait(long timeout)\n");
             } else {
               printf("in Object.wait()\n");
             }
           }
        </example>
        <p/>
        <b>Relationship to <code>java.lang.Thread.State</code></b>
        <p/>
        The thread state represented by <code>java.lang.Thread.State</code>
        returned from <code>java.lang.Thread.getState()</code> is a subset of the
        information returned from this function.
        The corresponding <code>java.lang.Thread.State</code> can be determined
        by using the provided conversion masks.
        For example, this returns the name of the <code>java.lang.Thread.State</code> thread state:
        <example>
            err = (*jvmti)-&gt;GetThreadState(jvmti, thread, &amp;state);
            abortOnError(err);
            switch (state &amp; JVMTI_JAVA_LANG_THREAD_STATE_MASK) {
            case JVMTI_JAVA_LANG_THREAD_STATE_NEW:
              return "NEW";
            case JVMTI_JAVA_LANG_THREAD_STATE_TERMINATED:
              return "TERMINATED";
            case JVMTI_JAVA_LANG_THREAD_STATE_RUNNABLE:
              return "RUNNABLE";
            case JVMTI_JAVA_LANG_THREAD_STATE_BLOCKED:
              return "BLOCKED";
            case JVMTI_JAVA_LANG_THREAD_STATE_WAITING:
              return "WAITING";
            case JVMTI_JAVA_LANG_THREAD_STATE_TIMED_WAITING:
              return "TIMED_WAITING";
            }

      <synopsis>Run Agent Thread</synopsis>
      <description>
        Starts the execution of an agent thread. with the specified native function.
        The parameter <paramlink id="arg"></paramlink> is forwarded on to the
        <functionlink id="jvmtiStartFunction">start function</functionlink>
        (specified with <paramlink id="proc"></paramlink>) as its single argument.
        This function allows the creation of agent threads
        for handling communication with another process or for handling events
        without the need to load a special subclass of <code>java.lang.Thread</code> or
        implementer of <code>java.lang.Runnable</code>.
        Instead, the created thread can run entirely in native code.
        However, the created thread does require a newly created instance
        of <code>java.lang.Thread</code> (referenced by the argument <code>thread</code>) to
        which it will be associated.
        The thread object can be created with JNI calls.
        <p/>
        The following common thread priorities are provided for your convenience:
        <constants id="jvmtiThreadPriority" label="Thread Priority Constants" kind="const">
          <constant id="JVMTI_THREAD_MIN_PRIORITY" num="1">
            Minimum possible thread priority

          <constant id="JVMTI_THREAD_NORM_PRIORITY" num="5">
            Normal thread priority
          </constant>
          <constant id="JVMTI_THREAD_MAX_PRIORITY" num="10">
            Maximum possible thread priority
          </constant>
        </constants>
        <p/>
        The new thread is started as a daemon thread with the specified
        <paramlink id="priority"></paramlink>.
        If enabled, a <eventlink id="ThreadStart"/> event will be sent.
        <p/>
        Since the thread has been started, the thread will be live when this function
        returns, unless the thread has died immediately.
        <p/>
        The thread group of the thread is ignored -- specifically, the thread is not
        added to the thread group and the thread is not seen on queries of the thread
        group at either the Java programming language or <jvmti/> levels.
        <p/>
        The thread is not visible to Java programming language queries but is
        included in <jvmti/> queries (for example,
        <functionlink id="GetAllThreads"/> and
        <functionlink id="GetAllStackTraces"/>).
        <p/>
        Upon execution of <code>proc</code>, the new thread will be attached to the
        VM -- see the JNI documentation on
        <externallink id="jni/invocation.html#attaching-to-the-vm"

        The VM stores a pointer value associated with each environment-thread

        This value is <code>NULL</code> unless set with this function.

        This function is called by the agent to set the value of the <jvmti/>

        thread-local storage that can be used to record per-thread

    <intro>
        These functions provide information about the stack of a thread.
        Stack frames are referenced by depth.
        The frame at depth zero is the current frame.
        <p/>
        Stack frames are as described in
        <vmspec chapter="3.6"/>,
        That is, they correspond to method
        invocations (including native methods) but do not correspond to platform native or
        VM internal frames.
        <p/>
        A <jvmti/> implementation may use method invocations to launch a thread and
        the corresponding frames may be included in the stack as presented by these functions --
        that is, there may be frames shown
        deeper than <code>main()</code> and <code>run()</code>.
        However this presentation must be consistent across all <jvmti/> functionality which
        uses stack frames or stack depth.

      <synopsis>Pop Frame</synopsis>
      <description>
        Pop the current frame of <code>thread</code>'s stack.
        Popping a frame takes you to the previous frame.
        When the thread is resumed, the execution
        state of the thread is reset to the state
        immediately before the called method was invoked.
        That is (using <vmspec/> terminology):
          <ul>
            <li>the current frame is discarded as the previous frame becomes the current one</li>
            <li>the operand stack is restored--the argument values are added back
              and if the invoke was not <code>invokestatic</code>,
              <code>objectref</code> is added back as well</li>
            <li>the Java virtual machine PC is restored to the opcode
              of the invoke instruction</li>
          </ul>
        Note however, that any changes to the arguments, which
        occurred in the called method, remain;
        when execution continues, the first instruction to
        execute will be the invoke.
        <p/>
        Between calling <code>PopFrame</code> and resuming the
        thread the state of the stack is undefined.
        To pop frames beyond the first,
        these three steps must be repeated:
        <ul>
          <li>suspend the thread via an event (step, breakpoint, ...)</li>
          <li>call <code>PopFrame</code></li>
          <li>resume the thread</li>
        </ul>
        <p/>
        A lock acquired by calling the called method
        (if it is a <code>synchronized</code>  method)
        and locks acquired by entering <code>synchronized</code>
        blocks within the called method are released.
        Note: this does not apply to native locks or
        <code>java.util.concurrent.locks</code> locks.
        <p/>

    <intro>
      These functions allow an agent to force a method
      to return at any point during its execution.
      The method which will return early is referred to as the <i>called method</i>.
      The called method is the current method
      (as defined by
      <vmspec chapter="3.6"/>)
      for the specified thread at
      the time the function is called.
      <p/>
      The specified thread must be suspended or must be the current thread.
      The return occurs when execution of Java programming
      language code is resumed on this thread.
      Between calling one of these functions and resumption
      of thread execution, the state of the stack is undefined.
      <p/>
      No further instructions are executed in the called method.
      Specifically, finally blocks are not executed.
      Note: this can cause inconsistent states in the application.
      <p/>
      A lock acquired by calling the called method
      (if it is a <code>synchronized</code>  method)
      and locks acquired by entering <code>synchronized</code>
      blocks within the called method are released.
      Note: this does not apply to native locks or
      <code>java.util.concurrent.locks</code> locks.
      <p/>
      Events, such as <eventlink id="MethodExit"></eventlink>,
      are generated as they would be in a normal return.
      <p/>
      The called method must be a non-native Java programming
      language method.
      Forcing return on a thread with only one frame on the
      stack causes the thread to exit when resumed.

  <category id="Heap" label="Heap">
    <intro>
      These functions are used to analyze the heap.
      Functionality includes the ability to view the objects in the
      heap and to tag these objects.
    </intro>

    <intro id="objectTags" label="Object Tags">
      A <i>tag</i> is a value associated with an object.
      Tags are explicitly set by the agent using the
      <functionlink id="SetTag"></functionlink> function or by
      callback functions such as <functionlink id="jvmtiHeapIterationCallback"/>.
      <p/>
      Tags are local to the environment; that is, the tags of one
      environment are not visible in another.
      <p/>
      Tags are <code>jlong</code> values which can be used
      simply to mark an object or to store a pointer to more detailed
      information.  Objects which have not been tagged have a
      tag of zero.
      Setting a tag to zero makes the object untagged.
    </intro>

    <intro id="heapCallbacks" label="Heap Callback Functions">
        Heap functions which iterate through the heap and recursively
        follow object references use agent supplied callback functions
        to deliver the information.
        <p/>
        These heap callback functions must adhere to the following restrictions --
        These callbacks must not use JNI functions.
        These callbacks must not use <jvmti/> functions except
        <i>callback safe</i> functions which
        specifically allow such use (see the raw monitor, memory management,
        and environment local storage functions).
        <p/>
        An implementation may invoke a callback on an internal thread or
        the thread which called the iteration function.
        Heap callbacks are single threaded -- no more than one callback will
        be invoked at a time.
        <p/>
        The Heap Filter Flags can be used to prevent reporting
        based on the tag status of an object or its class.
        If no flags are set (the <code>jint</code> is zero), objects
        will not be filtered out.

            For <datalink id="JVMTI_HEAP_REFERENCE_FIELD"/>, the
            referrer object is not a class or an interface.
            In this case, <code>index</code> is the index of the field
            in the class of the referrer object.
            This class is referred to below as <i>C</i>.
            <p/>
            For <datalink id="JVMTI_HEAP_REFERENCE_STATIC_FIELD"/>,
            the referrer object is a class (referred to below as <i>C</i>)
            or an interface (referred to below as <i>I</i>).
            In this case, <code>index</code> is the index of the field in
            that class or interface.
            <p/>
            If the referrer object is not an interface, then the field
            indices are determined as follows:
            <ul>
              <li>make a list of all the fields in <i>C</i> and its
                  superclasses, starting with all the fields in
                  <code>java.lang.Object</code> and ending with all the
                  fields in <i>C</i>.</li>
              <li>Within this list, put
                  the fields for a given class in the order returned by
                  <functionlink id="GetClassFields"/>.</li>
              <li>Assign the fields in this list indices
                  <i>n</i>, <i>n</i>+1, ..., in order, where <i>n</i>
                  is the count of the fields in all the interfaces
                  implemented by <i>C</i>.
                  Note that <i>C</i> implements all interfaces
                  directly implemented by its superclasses; as well
                  as all superinterfaces of these interfaces.</li>
            </ul>
            If the referrer object is an interface, then the field
            indices are determined as follows:
            <ul>
              <li>make a list of the fields directly declared in
                  <i>I</i>.</li>
              <li>Within this list, put
                  the fields in the order returned by
                  <functionlink id="GetClassFields"/>.</li>
              <li>Assign the fields in this list indices
                  <i>n</i>, <i>n</i>+1, ..., in order, where <i>n</i>
                  is the count of the fields in all the superinterfaces
                  of <i>I</i>.</li>
            </ul>
            All fields are included in this computation, regardless of
            field modifier (static, public, private, etc).
            <p/>
            For example, given the following classes and interfaces:
            <example>
interface I0 {
    int p = 0;
}

interface I1 extends I0 {
    int x = 1;
}

interface I2 extends I0 {
    int y = 2;
}

class C1 implements I1 {
    public static int a = 3;
    private int b = 4;
}

class C2 extends C1 implements I2 {
    static int q = 5;
    final int r = 6;
}
            </example>
            Assume that <functionlink id="GetClassFields"/> called on

            order: a, b; and that the fields of <code>C2</code> are
            returned in the order: q, r.
            An instance of class <code>C1</code> will have the

    <intro>
      <rationale>
        The heap dumping functionality (below) uses a callback
        for each object.  While it would seem that a buffered approach
        would provide better throughput, tests do
        not show this to be the case--possibly due to locality of
        memory reference or array access overhead.
      </rationale>

      <issue>
        Still under investigation as to if java.lang.ref references
        are reported as a different type of reference.
      </issue>

      <issue>
        Should or can an indication of the cost or relative cost of
        these operations be included?
      </issue>

      <description>
        This function initiates a traversal over the objects that are
        directly and indirectly reachable from the specified object or,
        if <code>initial_object</code> is not specified, all objects
        reachable from the heap roots.
        The heap root are the set of system classes,
        JNI globals, references from thread stacks, and other objects used as roots
        for the purposes of garbage collection.
        <p/>
        This function operates by traversing the reference graph.
        Let <i>A</i>, <i>B</i>, ... represent objects.
        When a reference from <i>A</i> to <i>B</i> is traversed,
        when a reference from a heap root to <i>B</i> is traversed,
        or when <i>B</i> is specified as the <paramlink id="initial_object"/>,
        then <i>B</i> is said to be <i>visited</i>.
        A reference from <i>A</i> to <i>B</i> is not traversed until <i>A</i>
        is visited.
        References are reported in the same order that the references are traversed.
        Object references are reported by invoking the agent supplied
        callback function <functionlink id="jvmtiHeapReferenceCallback"/>.
        In a reference from <i>A</i> to <i>B</i>, <i>A</i> is known
        as the <i>referrer</i> and <i>B</i> as the <i>referree</i>.
        The callback is invoked exactly once for each reference from a referrer;
        this is true even if there are reference cycles or multiple paths to
        the referrer.
        There may be more than one reference between a referrer and a referree,
        each reference is reported.
        These references may be distinguished by examining the
        <datalink
         id="jvmtiHeapReferenceCallback.reference_kind"><code>reference_kind</code></datalink>
         and
        <datalink
         id="jvmtiHeapReferenceCallback.reference_info"><code>reference_info</code></datalink>
        parameters of the <functionlink id="jvmtiHeapReferenceCallback"/> callback.
        <p/>
        This function reports a Java programming language view of object references,
        not a virtual machine implementation view. The following object references
        are reported when they are non-null:
        <ul>
          <li>Instance objects report references to each non-primitive instance fields
              (including inherited fields).</li>
          <li>Instance objects report a reference to the object type (class).</li>
          <li>Classes report a reference to the superclass and directly
              implemented/extended interfaces.</li>
          <li>Classes report a reference to the class loader, protection domain,
              signers, and resolved entries in the constant pool.</li>
          <li>Classes report a reference to each directly declared non-primitive
              static field.</li>
          <li>Arrays report a reference to the array type (class) and each
              array element.</li>
          <li>Primitive arrays report a reference to the array type.</li>
        </ul>
        <p/>
        This function can also be used to examine primitive (non-object) values.
        The primitive value of an array or String
        is reported after the object has been visited;
        it is reported by invoking the agent supplied callback function
        <functionlink id="jvmtiArrayPrimitiveValueCallback"/> or
        <functionlink id="jvmtiStringPrimitiveValueCallback"/>.
        A primitive field
        is reported after the object with that field is visited;
        it is reported by invoking the agent supplied callback function
        <functionlink id="jvmtiPrimitiveFieldCallback"/>.
        <p/>
        Whether a callback is provided or is <code>NULL</code> only determines
        whether the callback will be invoked, it does not influence
        which objects are visited nor does it influence whether other callbacks
        will be invoked.
        However, the
        <datalink id="jvmtiHeapVisitControl">visit control flags</datalink>
        returned by <functionlink id="jvmtiHeapReferenceCallback"/>
        do determine if the objects referenced by the
        current object as visited.
        The <datalink id="jvmtiHeapFilter">heap filter flags</datalink>
        and <paramlink id="klass"/> provided as parameters to this function
        do not control which objects are visited but they do control which
        objects and primitive values are reported by the callbacks.
        For example, if the only callback that was set is
        <fieldlink id="array_primitive_value_callback" struct="jvmtiHeapCallbacks"/> and <code>klass</code>
        is set to the array of bytes class, then only arrays of byte will be
        reported.

        During the execution of this function the state of the heap
        does not change: no objects are allocated, no objects are
        garbage collected, and the state of objects (including
        held values) does not change.
        As a result, threads executing Java
        programming language code, threads attempting to resume the
        execution of Java programming language code, and threads
        attempting to execute JNI functions are typically stalled.

      <synopsis>Iterate Through Heap</synopsis>
      <description>
        Initiate an iteration over all objects in the heap.
        This includes both reachable and
        unreachable objects. Objects are visited in no particular order.
        <p/>
        Heap objects are reported by invoking the agent supplied
        callback function <functionlink id="jvmtiHeapIterationCallback"/>.
        References between objects are not reported.
        If only reachable objects are desired, or if object reference information
        is needed, use <functionlink id="FollowReferences"/>.
        <p/>
        This function can also be used to examine primitive (non-object) values.
        The primitive value of an array or String
        is reported after the object has been visited;
        it is reported by invoking the agent supplied callback function
        <functionlink id="jvmtiArrayPrimitiveValueCallback"/> or
        <functionlink id="jvmtiStringPrimitiveValueCallback"/>.
        A primitive field
        is reported after the object with that field is visited;
        it is reported by invoking the agent supplied
        callback function
        <functionlink id="jvmtiPrimitiveFieldCallback"/>.
        <p/>
        Unless the iteration is aborted by the
        <datalink id="jvmtiHeapVisitControl">Heap Visit Control Flags</datalink>
        returned by a callback, all objects in the heap are visited.
        Whether a callback is provided or is <code>NULL</code> only determines
        whether the callback will be invoked, it does not influence
        which objects are visited nor does it influence whether other callbacks
        will be invoked.
        The <datalink id="jvmtiHeapFilter">heap filter flags</datalink>
        and <paramlink id="klass"/> provided as parameters to this function
        do not control which objects are visited but they do control which
        objects and primitive values are reported by the callbacks.
        For example, if the only callback that was set is
        <fieldlink id="array_primitive_value_callback" struct="jvmtiHeapCallbacks"/> and <code>klass</code>
        is set to the array of bytes class, then only arrays of byte will be
        reported. The table below summarizes this (contrast this with

        During the execution of this function the state of the heap
        does not change: no objects are allocated, no objects are
        garbage collected, and the state of objects (including
        held values) does not change.
        As a result, threads executing Java
        programming language code, threads attempting to resume the
        execution of Java programming language code, and threads
        attempting to execute JNI functions are typically stalled.

        For each object <i>A</i> (known
        as the referrer) with a reference to object <i>B</i> the specified
        callback function is called to describe the object reference.
        The callback is called exactly once for each reference from a referrer;
        this is true even if there are reference cycles or multiple paths to
        the referrer.
        There may be more than one reference between a referrer and a referree,
        These may be distinguished by the
        <datalink id="jvmtiObjectReferenceCallback.reference_kind"></datalink> and
        <datalink id="jvmtiObjectReferenceCallback.referrer_index"></datalink>.
        The callback for an object will always occur after the callback for

      <description>
        This function iterates over the root objects and all objects that
        are directly and indirectly reachable from the root objects.
        The root objects comprise the set of system classes,
        JNI globals, references from thread stacks, and other objects used as roots
        for the purposes of garbage collection.
        <p/>
        For each root the <paramlink id="heap_root_callback"></paramlink>
        or <paramlink id="stack_ref_callback"></paramlink> callback is called.
        An object can be a root object for more than one reason and in that case
        the appropriate callback is called for each reason.
        <p/>
        For each object reference the <paramlink id="object_ref_callback"></paramlink>
        callback function is called to describe the object reference.
        The callback is called exactly once for each reference from a referrer;
        this is true even if there are reference cycles or multiple paths to
        the referrer.
        There may be more than one reference between a referrer and a referree,

        The callback for an object will always occur after the callback for
        its referrer.

        See <functionlink id="FollowReferences"/> for the object
        references which are reported.
        <p/>
        Roots are always reported to the profiler before any object references
        are reported. In other words, the <paramlink id="object_ref_callback"></paramlink>
        callback will not be called until the appropriate callback has been called
        for all roots. If the <paramlink id="object_ref_callback"></paramlink> callback is
        specified as <code>NULL</code> then this function returns after
        reporting the root objects to the profiler.
        <p/>
        During the execution of this function the state of the heap

        called for objects that are not tagged. If the parameter
        is <code>JVMTI_HEAP_OBJECT_EITHER</code> then the callback will be
        called for every object in the heap, irrespective of whether it is
        tagged or not.
        <p/>
        During the execution of this function the state of the heap
        does not change: no objects are allocated, no objects are
        garbage collected, and the state of objects (including
        held values) does not change.
        As a result, threads executing Java
        programming language code, threads attempting to resume the
        execution of Java programming language code, and threads
        attempting to execute JNI functions are typically stalled.

    <intro>
      These functions are used to retrieve or set the value of a local variable.
      The variable is identified by the depth of the frame containing its
      value and the variable's slot number within that frame.
      The mapping of variables to
      slot numbers can be obtained with the function
      <functionlink id="GetLocalVariableTable"></functionlink>.

        For the class indicated by <code>klass</code>,
        return the raw bytes of the constant pool in the format of the
        <code>constant_pool</code> item of
        <vmspec chapter="4"/>.
        The format of the constant pool may differ between versions
        of the Class File Format, so, the
        <functionlink id="GetClassVersionNumbers">minor and major
        class version numbers</functionlink> should be checked for
        compatibility.
        <p/>
        The returned constant pool might not have the same layout or
        contents as the constant pool in the defining class file.
        The constant pool returned by GetConstantPool() may have
        more or fewer entries than the defining constant pool.
        Entries may be in a different order.
        The constant pool returned by GetConstantPool() will match the
        constant pool used by
        <functionlink id="GetBytecodes">GetBytecodes()</functionlink>.
        That is, the bytecodes returned by GetBytecodes() will have
        constant pool indices which refer to constant pool entries returned
        by GetConstantPool().
        Note that since <functionlink id="RetransformClasses"/>
        and <functionlink id="RedefineClasses"/> can change
        the constant pool, the constant pool returned by this function
        can change accordingly.  Thus, the correspondence between
        GetConstantPool() and GetBytecodes() does not hold if there
        is an intervening class retransformation or redefinition.
        The value of a constant pool entry used by a given bytecode will
        match that of the defining class file (even if the indices don't match).
        Constant pool entries which are not used directly or indirectly by
        bytecodes (for example,  UTF-8 strings associated with annotations) are
        not  required to exist in the returned constant pool.

            allowing a new transformation to be applied
          </li>
          <li>the transformed class file bytes are installed as the new
            definition of the class
          </li>
        </ul>
        See the <eventlink id="ClassFileLoadHook"/> event for more details.
        <p/>
        The initial class file bytes represent the bytes passed to
        <code>ClassLoader.defineClass</code>
        or <code>RedefineClasses</code> (before any transformations
        were applied), however they may not exactly match them.
        The constant pool may differ in ways described in
        <functionlink id="GetConstantPool"/>.
        Constant pool indices in the bytecodes of methods will correspond.
        Some attributes may not be present.
        Where order is not meaningful, for example the order of methods,
        order may not be preserved.
        <p/>
        Retransformation can cause new versions of methods to be installed.
        Old method versions may become
        <internallink id="obsoleteMethods">obsolete</internallink>
        The new method version will be used on new invokes.
        If a method has active stack frames, those active frames continue to
        run the bytecodes of the original method version.
        <p/>
        This function does not cause any initialization except that which
        would occur under the customary JVM semantics.
        In other words, retransforming a class does not cause its initializers to be
        run. The values of static fields will remain as they were
        prior to the call.
        <p/>
        Threads need not be suspended.
        <p/>
        All breakpoints in the class are cleared.
        <p/>
        All attributes are updated.
        <p/>
        Instances of the retransformed class are not affected -- fields retain their
        previous values.
        <functionlink id="GetTag">Tags</functionlink> on the instances are
        also unaffected.
        <p/>
        In response to this call, no events other than the
        <eventlink id="ClassFileLoadHook"/> event
        will be sent.
        <p/>
        The retransformation may change method bodies, the constant pool and attributes
        (unless explicitly prohibited).
        The retransformation must not add, remove or rename fields or methods, change the
        signatures of methods, change modifiers, or change inheritance.
        The retransformation must not change the <code>NestHost</code>,
        <code>NestMembers</code>, <code>Record</code>, or <code>PermittedSubclasses</code>
        attributes.
        These restrictions may be lifted in future versions.
        See the error return description below for information on error codes
        returned if an unsupported retransformation is attempted.
        The class file bytes are not verified or installed until they have passed
        through the chain of <eventlink id="ClassFileLoadHook"/> events, thus the
        returned error code reflects the result of the transformations.
        If any error code is returned other than <code>JVMTI_ERROR_NONE</code>,
        none of the classes to be retransformed will have a new definition installed.
        When this function returns (with the error code of <code>JVMTI_ERROR_NONE</code>)
        all of the classes to be retransformed will have their new definitions installed.

      These functions provide information about a method (represented as a
      <typelink id="jmethodID"/>) and set how methods are processed.
    </intro>

    <intro id="obsoleteMethods" label="Obsolete Methods">
      The functions <functionlink id="RetransformClasses"/> and
      <functionlink id="RedefineClasses"/> can cause new versions
      of methods to be installed.
      An original version of a method is considered equivalent
      to the new version if:
      <ul>
        <li>their bytecodes are the same except for indices into the
          constant pool and </li>
        <li>the referenced constants are equal.</li>
      </ul>
      An original method version which is not equivalent to the
      new method version is called obsolete and is assigned a new method ID;
      the original method ID now refers to the new method version.
      A method ID can be tested for obsolescence with

    <function id="SetNativeMethodPrefix" jkernel="yes" phase="any" num="73" since="1.1">
      <synopsis>Set Native Method Prefix</synopsis>
      <description>
        This function modifies the failure handling of
        native method resolution by allowing retry
        with a prefix applied to the name.
        When used with the
        <eventlink id="ClassFileLoadHook">ClassFileLoadHook
        event</eventlink>, it enables native methods to be
        <internallink id="bci">instrumented</internallink>.
        <p/>
        Since native methods cannot be directly instrumented
        (they have no bytecodes), they must be wrapped with
        a non-native method which can be instrumented.
        For example, if we had:
        <example>
native boolean foo(int x);</example>
        <p/>
        We could transform the class file (with the
        ClassFileLoadHook event) so that this becomes:
        <example>
boolean foo(int x) {
  <i>... record entry to foo ...</i>
  return wrapped_foo(x);
}

native boolean wrapped_foo(int x);</example>
        <p/>
        Where foo becomes a wrapper for the actual native method
        with the appended prefix "wrapped_".  Note that
        "wrapped_" would be a poor choice of prefix since it
        might conceivably form the name of an existing method
        thus something like "$$$MyAgentWrapped$$$_" would be
        better but would make these examples less readable.
        <p/>
        The wrapper will allow data to be collected on the native
        method call, but now the problem becomes linking up the
        wrapped method with the native implementation.
        That is, the method <code>wrapped_foo</code> needs to be
        resolved to the native implementation of <code>foo</code>,
        which might be:
        <example>
Java_somePackage_someClass_foo(JNIEnv* env, jint x)</example>
        <p/>
        This function allows the prefix to be specified and the
        proper resolution to occur.
        Specifically, when the standard resolution fails, the
        resolution is retried taking the prefix into consideration.
        There are two ways that resolution occurs, explicit
        resolution with the JNI function <code>RegisterNatives</code>
        and the normal automatic resolution.  For
        <code>RegisterNatives</code>, the VM will attempt this
        association:
        <example>
method(foo) -> nativeImplementation(foo)</example>
        <p/>
        When this fails, the resolution will be retried with
        the specified prefix prepended to the method name,
        yielding the correct resolution:
        <example>
method(wrapped_foo) -> nativeImplementation(foo)</example>
        <p/>
        For automatic resolution, the VM will attempt:
        <example>
method(wrapped_foo) -> nativeImplementation(wrapped_foo)</example>
        <p/>
        When this fails, the resolution will be retried with
        the specified prefix deleted from the implementation name,
        yielding the correct resolution:
        <example>
method(wrapped_foo) -> nativeImplementation(foo)</example>
        <p/>
        Note that since the prefix is only used when standard
        resolution fails, native methods can be wrapped selectively.
        <p/>
        Since each <jvmti/> environment is independent and
        can do its own transformation of the bytecodes, more
        than one layer of wrappers may be applied. Thus each
        environment needs its own prefix.  Since transformations
        are applied in order, the prefixes, if applied, will
        be applied in the same order.
        The order of transformation application is described in
        the <eventlink id="ClassFileLoadHook"/> event.
        Thus if three environments applied
        wrappers, <code>foo</code> might become
        <code>$env3_$env2_$env1_foo</code>.  But if, say,
        the second environment did not apply a wrapper to
        <code>foo</code> it would be just
        <code>$env3_$env1_foo</code>.  To be able to
        efficiently determine the sequence of prefixes,
        an intermediate prefix is only applied if its non-native
        wrapper exists.  Thus, in the last example, even though
        <code>$env1_foo</code> is not a native method, the
        <code>$env1_</code> prefix is applied since
        <code>$env1_foo</code> exists.
        <p/>
        Since the prefixes are used at resolution time
        and since resolution may be arbitrarily delayed, a
        native method prefix must remain set as long as there
        are corresponding prefixed native methods.

      <description>
         For a normal agent, <functionlink id="SetNativeMethodPrefix"/>
         will provide all needed native method prefixing.
         For a meta-agent that performs multiple independent class
         file transformations (for example as a proxy for another
         layer of agents) this function allows each transformation
         to have its own prefix.
         The prefixes are applied in the order supplied and are
         processed in the same manner as described for the
         application of prefixes from multiple <jvmti/> environments
         in <functionlink id="SetNativeMethodPrefix"/>.
         <p/>
         Any previous prefixes are replaced.  Thus, calling this
         function with a <paramlink id="prefix_count"/> of <code>0</code>
         disables prefixing in this environment.
         <p/>
         <functionlink id="SetNativeMethodPrefix"/> and this function
         are the two ways to set the prefixes.
         Calling <code>SetNativeMethodPrefix</code> with
         a prefix is the same as calling this function with
         <paramlink id="prefix_count"/> of <code>1</code>.

  <category id="jniIntercept" label="JNI Function Interception">

    <intro>
      Provides the ability to intercept and resend
      Java Native Interface (JNI) function calls
      by manipulating the JNI function table.
      See <externallink id="jni/functions.html">JNI
        Functions</externallink> in the <i>Java Native Interface Specification</i>.
      <p/>
      The following example illustrates intercepting the
      <code>NewGlobalRef</code> JNI call in order to count reference
      creation.
      <example>
JNIEnv original_jni_Functions;
JNIEnv redirected_jni_Functions;
int my_global_ref_count = 0;

jobject
MyNewGlobalRef(JNIEnv *jni_env, jobject lobj) {
   ++my_global_ref_count;
   return originalJNIFunctions-&gt;NewGlobalRef(env, lobj);
}

void
myInit() {
   jvmtiError err;

   err = (*jvmti_env)-&gt;GetJNIFunctionTable(jvmti_env, &amp;original_jni_Functions);
   if (err != JVMTI_ERROR_NONE) {
      die();
   }
   err = (*jvmti_env)-&gt;GetJNIFunctionTable(jvmti_env, &amp;redirected_jni_Functions);
   if (err != JVMTI_ERROR_NONE) {
      die();
   }
   redirectedJNIFunctions-&gt;NewGlobalRef = MyNewGlobalRef;
      err = (*jvmti_env)-&gt;SetJNIFunctionTable(jvmti_env, redirected_jni_Functions);
   if (err != JVMTI_ERROR_NONE) {
      die();
   }
}
      </example>
      Sometime after <code>myInit</code> is called the user's JNI
      code is executed which makes the call to create a new global
      reference.  Instead of going to the normal JNI implementation
      the call goes to <code>myNewGlobalRef</code>.  Note that a
      copy of the original function table is kept so that the normal
      JNI function can be called after the data is collected.
      Note also that any JNI functions which are not overwritten
      will behave normally.
      <todo>
        check that the example compiles and executes.

        Use <functionlink id="GetJNIFunctionTable"></functionlink> to get the

        For this function to take effect the the updated table entries must be

        Since the table is defined <code>const</code> some compilers may optimize
        away the access to the table, thus preventing this function from taking
        effect.
        The table is copied--changes to the local copy of the

      <description>
        Generate events to represent the current state of the VM.
        For example, if <paramlink id="event_type"/> is
        <code>JVMTI_EVENT_COMPILED_METHOD_LOAD</code>,
        a <eventlink id="CompiledMethodLoad"></eventlink> event will be
        sent for each currently compiled method.
        Methods that were loaded and now have been unloaded are not sent.
        The history of what events have previously been sent does not
        effect what events are sent by this function--for example,
        all currently compiled methods
        will be sent each time this function is called.
        <p/>
        This function is useful when
        events may have been missed due to the agent attaching after program
        execution begins; this function generates the missed events.
        <p/>
        Attempts to execute Java programming language code or
        JNI functions may be paused until this function returns -
        so neither should be called from the thread sending the event.
        This function returns only after the missed events have been
        sent, processed and have returned.
        The event may be sent on a different thread than the thread
        on which the event occurred.
        The callback for the event must be set with
        <functionlink id="SetEventCallbacks"></functionlink>
        and the event must be enabled with
        <functionlink id="SetEventNotificationMode"></functionlink>
        or the events will not occur.
        If the VM no longer has the information to generate some or
        all of the requested events, the events are simply not sent -
        no error is returned.
        <p/>
        Only the following events are supported:

          The event handler is set with
          <functionlink id="SetExtensionEventCallback"/>.
          <p/>
          Event handlers for extension events must be declared varargs to match this definition.
          Failure to do so could result in calling convention mismatch and undefined behavior
          on some platforms.
          <p/>
          For example, if the <code>jvmtiParamInfo</code>
          returned by <functionlink id="GetExtensionEvents"/> indicates that
          there is a <code>jint</code> parameter, the event handler should be
          declared:
<example>
    void JNICALL myHandler(jvmtiEnv* jvmti_env, ...)
</example>
          Note the terminal "<code>...</code>" which indicates varargs.
          The <code>jint</code> argument inside <code>myHandler</code> needs to be extracted using
          the <code>va_*</code> syntax of the C programming language.

  <category id="capability" label="Capability">

    <intro>
      The capabilities functions allow you to change the
      functionality available to <jvmti/>--that is,
      which <jvmti/>
      functions can be called, what events can be generated,
      and what functionality these events and functions can
      provide.
      <p/>
        The "Capabilities" section of each function and event describe which
        capabilities, if any, they are associated with. "Required Functionality"
        means it is available for use and no capabilities must be added to use it.
        "Optional Functionality" means the agent must possess the capability
        before it can be used.
        To possess a capability, the agent must
        <functionlink id="AddCapabilities">add the capability</functionlink>.
        "Optional Features" describe capabilities which,
        if added, extend the feature set.
        <p/>
        The potentially available capabilities of each <jvmti/> implementation are different.
        Depending on the implementation, a capability:
        <ul>
          <li>may never be added</li>
          <li>may be added in either the <code>OnLoad</code> or live phase in any environment</li>
          <li>may be added only during the <code>OnLoad</code> phase</li>
          <li>may be possessed by only one environment at a time</li>
          <li>may be possessed by only one environment at a time,
              and only during the <code>OnLoad</code> phase</li>
          <li>and so on ...</li>
        </ul>
      Frequently, the addition of a capability may incur a cost in execution speed, start up
      time, and/or memory footprint.  Note that the overhead of using a capability
      is completely different than the overhead of possessing a capability.
      Take single stepping as an example. When single stepping is on (that
      is, when the event is enabled and thus actively sending events)
      the overhead of sending and processing an event
      on each instruction is huge in any implementation.
      However, the overhead of possessing the capability may be small or large,
      depending on the implementation.  Also, when and if a capability is potentially
      available depends on the implementation.  Some examples:
      <ul>
        <li>One VM might perform all execution by compiling bytecodes into
          native code and be unable to generate single step instructions.
          In this implementation the capability can not be added.</li>
        <li>Another VM may be able to switch execution to a single stepping
          interpreter at any time.  In this implementation, having the capability has no
          overhead and could be added at any time.</li>
        <li>Yet another VM might be able to choose a bytecode compiling or single stepping capable interpreted
          execution engine at start up, but be unable to switch between them.
          In this implementation the capability would need to be added
          during the <code>OnLoad</code> phase (before bytecode
          execution begins) and would have a large impact on execution speed
          even if single stepping was never used.</li>
        <li>Still another VM might be able to add an "is single stepping on" check
          into compiled bytecodes or a generated interpreter.  Again in this implementation
          the capability would need to be added during the <code>OnLoad</code> phase but the overhead (a test
          and branch on each instruction) would be considerably less.</li>
      </ul>
      <p/>
      Each <jvmti/> <internallink id="environments">environment</internallink>
      has its own set of capabilities.
      Initially, that set is empty.
      Any desired capability must be added.
      If possible, capabilities should be added during the <code>OnLoad</code> phase.  For most
      virtual machines certain capabilities require special set up for
      the virtual machine and this set up must happen
      during the <code>OnLoad</code> phase, before the virtual machine begins execution.
      Once a capability is added, it can
      only be removed if explicitly relinquished by the environment.
      <p/>
      The agent can,
      <functionlink id="GetPotentialCapabilities">determine what
        capabilities this VM can potentially provide</functionlink>,
      <functionlink id="AddCapabilities">add the capabilities
        to be used</functionlink>,
      <functionlink id="RelinquishCapabilities">release capabilities
        which are no longer needed</functionlink>, and
      <functionlink id="GetCapabilities">examine the currently available
        capabilities</functionlink>.
    </intro>

    <intro id="capabilityExamples" label="Capability Examples">
      For example, a freshly started agent (in the <code>OnLoad</code> function)
      wants to enable all possible capabilities.
      Note that, in general, this is not advisable as the agent may suffer
      a performance penalty for functionality it is not using.
      The code might look like this in C:
      <example>
        jvmtiCapabilities capa;
        jvmtiError err;

        err = (*jvmti)-&gt;GetPotentialCapabilities(jvmti, &amp;capa);
        if (err == JVMTI_ERROR_NONE) {
           err = (*jvmti)-&gt;AddCapabilities(jvmti, &amp;capa);
      </example>
      For example, if an  agent wants to check if it can get
      the bytecodes of a method (that is, it wants to check
      if it previously added this capability and has not
      relinquished it), the code might
      look like this in C:
      <example>
        jvmtiCapabilities capa;
        jvmtiError err;

        err = (*jvmti)-&gt;GetCapabilities(jvmti, &amp;capa);
        if (err == JVMTI_ERROR_NONE) {
           if (capa.can_get_bytecodes) { ... } }

        <issue>There is strong opposition to this function.  The concern is
          that it would be difficult or impossible to provide meaningful
          numbers, as the amount of impact is conditional on many factors
          that a single number could not represent.  There is doubt that
          conditional implementations would be used or are even a good idea.
          The thought is that release documentation for the implementation
          would be the best means of exposing this information.
          Unless new arguments are presented, I intend to remove this
          function in the next revision.

        <p/>
        Return via the <paramlink id="time_impact_ptr"></paramlink> and
        <paramlink id="space_impact_ptr"></paramlink> an estimate of the impact
        of adding the capabilities pointed to by
        <paramlink id="capabilities_ptr"></paramlink>.
        The returned estimates are in percentage of additional overhead, thus
        a time impact of 100 mean the application might run
        at half the speed.
        The estimates are very rough approximations and are not guaranteed.
        Note also, that the estimates are of the impact of having the
        capability available--when and if it is used the impact may be
        much greater.
        Estimates can be for a single capability or for a set of
        capabilities.  Note that the costs are not necessarily additive,
        adding support for one capability might make another available
        for free or conversely having two capabilities at once may
        have multiplicative impact.
        Estimates are relative to the current set of capabilities -
        that is, how much more impact given the currently possessed capabilities.
        <p/>
        Typically this function is used in the OnLoad function,
        some virtual machines may allow a limited set of capabilities to be

        Some implementations may allow only one environment to have a capability

        This function releases capabilities

        Attempting to relinquish a capability that the agent does not possess is not an error.
          <issue>
            It is possible for the agent to be actively using capabilities
            which are being relinquished.  For example, a thread is currently
            suspended and can_suspend is being relinquished or an event is currently
            enabled and can_generate_whatever is being relinquished.
            There are three possible ways we could spec this:
            <ul>
              <li>relinquish automatically releases them</li>
              <li>relinquish checks and returns some error code if held</li>
              <li>it is the agent's responsibility and it is not checked</li>

            One of these should be chosen.

  <category id="classLoaderSearch" label="Class Loader Search">

    <intro>
      These functions allow the agent to add to the locations that a class loader searches for a class.
      This is useful for installing instrumentation under the correct class loader.
    </intro>

    <function id="AddToBootstrapClassLoaderSearch" jkernel="yes" phase="onload" num="149">
      <synopsis>Add To Bootstrap Class Loader Search</synopsis>
      <description>
          This function can be used to cause instrumentation classes to be defined by the
          bootstrap class loader. See <vmspec chapter="5.3.1"/>.
          After the bootstrap
          class loader unsuccessfully searches for a class, the specified platform-dependent
          search path <paramlink id="segment"/> will be searched as well. Only one segment may be specified in
          the <paramlink id="segment"/>. This function may be called multiple times to add multiple segments,
          the segments will be searched in the order that this function was called.
          <p/>
          In the <code>OnLoad</code> phase the function may be used to specify any platform-dependent
          search path segment to be searched after the bootstrap class loader unsuccessfully searches
          for a class. The segment is typically a directory or JAR file.
          <p/>
          In the live phase the <paramlink id="segment"/> may be used to specify any platform-dependent
          path to a <externallink id="jar/jar.html">
          JAR file</externallink>. The agent should take care that the JAR file does not
          contain any classes or resources other than those to be defined by the bootstrap
          class loader for the purposes of instrumentation.
          <p/>
          <vmspec/> specifies that a subsequent attempt to resolve a symbolic
          reference that the Java virtual machine has previously unsuccessfully attempted
          to resolve always fails with the same error that was thrown as a result of the
          initial resolution attempt. Consequently, if the JAR file contains an entry
          that corresponds to a class for which the Java virtual machine has
          unsuccessfully attempted to resolve a reference, then subsequent attempts to
          resolve that reference will fail with the same error as the initial attempt.

      <description>
          This function can be used to cause instrumentation classes to be
          defined by the system class loader. See <vmspec chapter="5.3.2"/>.
          After the class loader unsuccessfully searches for a class, the specified platform-dependent search
          path <paramlink id="segment"/> will be searched as well. Only one segment may be specified in the
          <paramlink id="segment"/>. This function may be called multiple times to add multiple segments, the
          segments will be searched in the order that this function was called.
          <p/>
          In the <code>OnLoad</code> phase the function may be used to specify any platform-dependent
          search path segment to be searched after the system class loader unsuccessfully searches
          for a class. The segment is typically a directory or JAR file.
          <p/>
          In the live phase the <paramlink id="segment"/> is a platform-dependent path to a
          <externallink id="jar/jar.html">JAR file</externallink> to be
          searched after the system class loader unsuccessfully searches for a class. The agent should
          take care that the JAR file does not contain any classes or resources other than those to be
          defined by the system class loader for the purposes of instrumentation.
          <p/>
          In the live phase the system class loader supports adding a JAR file to be searched if
          the system class loader implements a method name <code>appendToClassPathForInstrumentation</code>
          which takes a single parameter of type <code>java.lang.String</code>. The method is not required
          to have <code>public</code> access.
          <p/>
          <vmspec/> specifies that a subsequent attempt to resolve a symbolic
          reference that the Java virtual machine has previously unsuccessfully attempted
          to resolve always fails with the same error that was thrown as a result of the
          initial resolution attempt. Consequently, if the JAR file contains an entry
          that corresponds to a class for which the Java virtual machine has
          unsuccessfully attempted to resolve a reference, then subsequent attempts to
          resolve that reference will fail with the same error as the initial attempt.

      <description>
        The list of VM system property keys which may be used with
        <functionlink id="GetSystemProperty"/> is returned.
        It is strongly recommended that virtual machines provide the
        following property keys:
        <ul>
          <li><code>java.vm.vendor</code></li>
          <li><code>java.vm.version</code></li>
          <li><code>java.vm.name</code></li>
          <li><code>java.vm.info</code></li>
          <li><code>java.library.path</code></li>
          <li><code>java.class.path</code></li>
        </ul>
        Provides access to system properties defined by and used
        by the VM.
        Properties set on the command-line are included.
        This allows getting and setting of these properties
        before the VM even begins executing bytecodes.
        Since this is a VM view of system properties, the set of available
        properties will usually be different than that
        in <code>java.lang.System.getProperties</code>.
        JNI method invocation may be used to access
        <code>java.lang.System.getProperties</code>.
        <p/>
        The set of properties may grow during execution.

        Return a VM system property value given the property key.
        <p/>
        The function <functionlink id="GetSystemProperties"/>
        returns the set of property keys which may be used.
        The properties which can be retrieved may grow during
        execution.
        <p/>
        Since this is a VM view of system properties, the values
        of properties may differ from that returned by
        <code>java.lang.System.getProperty(String)</code>.
        A typical VM might copy the values of the VM system
        properties into the <code>Properties</code> held by
        <code>java.lang.System</code> during the initialization
        of that class. Thereafter any changes to the VM system

        or the <code>java.lang.System</code> system properties
        (with <code>java.lang.System.setProperty(String,String)</code>)
        would cause the values to diverge.
        JNI method invocation may be used to access

        Generate a <eventlink id="SampledObjectAlloc"/> event when objects are allocated.
        Each thread keeps a counter of bytes allocated. The event will only be generated
        when that counter exceeds an average of <paramlink id="sampling_interval"></paramlink>
        since the last sample.

        Setting <paramlink id="sampling_interval"></paramlink> to 0 will cause an event to be
        generated by each allocation supported by the system once the new interval is taken into account.
        <p/>
        Note that updating the new sampling interval might take various number of allocations
        to provoke internal data structure updates.  Therefore it is important to
        consider the sampling interval as an average. This includes the interval 0, where events
        might not be generated straight away for each allocation.

<eventsection label="Events">
  <intro label="Handling Events" id="eventIntro">
    Agents can be informed of many events that occur in application
    programs.
    <p/>
    To handle events, designate a set of callback functions with
    <functionlink id="SetEventCallbacks"></functionlink>.
    For each event the corresponding callback function will be
    called.
    Arguments to the callback function provide additional
    information about the event.
    <p/>
    The callback function is usually called from within an application
    thread. The <jvmti/> implementation does not
    queue events in any way. This means
    that event callback functions must be written
    carefully. Here are some general guidelines. See
    the individual event descriptions for further
    suggestions.
    <p/>
    <ul>
      <li>Any exception thrown during the execution of an event callback can
        overwrite any current pending exception in the current application thread.
        Care must be taken to preserve a pending exception
        when an event callback makes a JNI call that might generate an exception.
      </li>
      <li>Event callback functions must be re-entrant. The <jvmti/> implementation does
        not queue events. If an agent needs to process events one at a time, it
        can use a raw monitor inside the
        event callback functions to serialize event processing.
      </li>
      <li>Event callback functions that execute JNI's FindClass function to load
        classes need to note that FindClass locates the class loader associated
        with the current native method. For the purposes of class loading, an
        event callback that includes a JNI environment as a parameter to the
        callback will treated as if it is a native call, where the native method
        is in the class of the event thread's current frame.
      </li>
    </ul>
    <p/>
    Some <jvmti/> events identify objects with JNI references.
    All references
    in <jvmti/> events are JNI local references and will become invalid
    after the event callback returns.
    Unless stated otherwise, memory referenced by pointers sent in event
    callbacks may not be referenced after the event callback returns.
    <p/>
    Except where stated otherwise, events are delivered on the thread
    that caused the event.
    Events are sent at the time they occur.
    The specification for each event includes the set of
    <functionlink id="GetPhase">phases</functionlink> in which it can be sent;
    if an event triggering activity occurs during another phase, no event
    is sent.
    <p/>
    A thread that generates an event does not change its execution status
    (for example, the event does not cause the thread to be suspended).
    If an agent wishes the event to result in suspension, then the agent
    is responsible for explicitly suspending the thread with
    <functionlink id="SuspendThread"></functionlink>.
    <p/>
    If an event is enabled in multiple environments, the event will be sent
    to each agent in the order that the environments were created.
  </intro>

  <intro label="Enabling Events" id="enablingevents">
    All events are initially disabled.  In order to receive any
    event:
      <ul>
        <li>
          If the event requires a capability, that capability must
          be added with
          <functionlink id="AddCapabilities"></functionlink>.
        </li>
        <li>
          A callback for the event must be set with
          <functionlink id="SetEventCallbacks"></functionlink>.
        </li>
        <li>
          The event must be enabled with
          <functionlink id="SetEventNotificationMode"></functionlink>.
        </li>
      </ul>
  </intro>

  <intro label="Multiple Co-located Events" id="eventorder">
    In many situations it is possible for multiple events to occur
    at the same location in one thread. When this happens, all the events
    are reported through the event callbacks in the order specified in this section.
    <p/>
    If the current location is at the entry point of a method, the
    <eventlink id="MethodEntry"></eventlink> event is reported before
    any other event at the current location in the same thread.
    <p/>
    If an exception catch has been detected at the current location,
    either because it is the beginning of a catch clause or a native method
    that cleared a pending exception has returned, the
    <code>exceptionCatch</code> event is reported before
    any other event at the current location in the same thread.
    <p/>
    If a <code>singleStep</code> event or
    <code>breakpoint</code> event is triggered at the
    current location, the event is defined to occur
    immediately before the code at the current location is executed.
    These events are reported before any events which are triggered
    by the execution of code at the current location in the same
    thread (specifically:
    <code>exception</code>,
    <code>fieldAccess</code>, and
    <code>fieldModification</code>).
    If both a step and breakpoint event are triggered for the same thread and
    location, the step event is reported before the breakpoint event.
    <p/>
    If the current location is the exit point of a method (that is, the last
    location before returning to the caller), the
    <eventlink id="MethodExit"></eventlink> event and
    the <eventlink id="FramePop"></eventlink> event (if requested)
    are reported after all other events at the current location in the same
    thread. There is no specified ordering of these two events
    with respect to each other.
    <p/>
    Co-located events can be triggered during the processing of some other
    event by the agent at the same location in the same thread.
    If such an event, of type <i>y</i>, is triggered during the processing of
    an event of type <i>x</i>, and if <i>x</i>
    precedes <i>y</i> in the ordering specified above, the co-located event
    <i>y</i> is reported for the current thread and location. If <i>x</i> does not precede
    <i>y</i>, <i>y</i> is not reported for the current thread and location.
    For example, if a breakpoint is set at the current location
    during the processing of <eventlink id="SingleStep"></eventlink>,
    that breakpoint will be reported before the thread moves off the current
    location.
    <p/>The following events are never considered to be co-located with
    other events.

    <description>
      Single step events allow the agent to trace thread execution
      at the finest granularity allowed by the VM. A single step event is
      generated whenever a thread reaches a new location.
      Typically, single step events represent the completion of one VM
      instruction as defined in <vmspec/>. However, some implementations
      may define locations differently. In any case the
      <code>method</code> and <code>location</code>
      parameters  uniquely identify the current location and allow
      the mapping to source file and line number when that information is
      available.
      <p/>
      No single step events are generated from within native methods.

    <description>
      A Native Method Bind event is sent when a VM binds a
      Java programming language native method
      to the address of a function that implements the native method.
      This will occur when the native method is called for the first time
      and also occurs when the JNI function <code>RegisterNatives</code> is called.
      This event allows the bind to be redirected to an agent-specified
      proxy function.
      This event is not sent when the native method is unbound.
      Typically, this proxy function will need to be specific to a
      particular method or, to handle the general case, automatically
      generated assembly code, since after instrumentation code is
      executed the function at the original binding
      address will usually be invoked.
      The original binding can be restored or the redirection changed
      by use of the JNI function <code>RegisterNatives</code>.
      Some events may be sent during the primordial phase, JNI and
      most of <jvmti/> cannot be used at this time but the method and
      address can be saved for use later.

  <event label="Exception"
         id="Exception" const="JVMTI_EVENT_EXCEPTION" filtered="thread" num="58">
    <description>
      Exception events are generated whenever an exception is first detected
      in a Java programming language method.
      Where "exception" means any <code>java.lang.Throwable</code>.
      The exception may have been thrown by a Java programming language or native
      method, but in the case of native methods, the event is not generated
      until the exception is first seen by a Java programming language method. If an exception is
      set and cleared in a native method (and thus is never visible to Java programming language code),
      no exception event is generated.
      <p/>
      The <code>method</code> and <code>location</code>
      parameters  uniquely identify the current location
      (where the exception was detected) and allow
      the mapping to source file and line number when that information is
      available. The <code>exception</code> field identifies the thrown
      exception object. The <code>catch_method</code>
      and <code>catch_location</code> identify the location of the catch clause,
      if any, that handles the thrown exception. If there is no such catch clause,
      each field is set to 0. There is no guarantee that the thread will ever
      reach this catch clause. If there are native methods on the call stack
      between the throw location and the catch clause, the exception may
      be reset by one of those native methods.
      Similarly, exceptions that are reported as uncaught (<code>catch_klass</code>
      et al. set to 0) may in fact be caught by native code.
      Agents can check for these occurrences by monitoring
      <eventlink id="ExceptionCatch"></eventlink> events.
      Note that finally clauses are implemented as catch and re-throw. Therefore they
      will be reported in the catch location.

    <description>
      Exception catch events are generated whenever a thrown exception is caught.
      Where "exception" means any <code>java.lang.Throwable</code>.
      If the exception is caught in a Java programming language method, the event is generated
      when the catch clause is reached. If the exception is caught in a native
      method, the event is generated as soon as control is returned to a Java programming language
      method. Exception catch events are generated for any exception for which
      a throw was detected in a Java programming language method.
      Note that finally clauses are implemented as catch and re-throw. Therefore they
      will generate exception catch events.
      <p/>
      The <code>method</code> and <code>location</code>
      parameters uniquely identify the current location
      and allow the mapping to source file and line number when that information is
      available. For exceptions caught in a Java programming language method, the
      <code>exception</code> object identifies the exception object. Exceptions
      caught in native methods are not necessarily available by the time the
      exception catch is reported, so the <code>exception</code> field is set
      to <code>NULL</code>.

  <event label="Class File Load Hook" phase="any"
         id="ClassFileLoadHook" const="JVMTI_EVENT_CLASS_FILE_LOAD_HOOK" num="54">
    <description>
      This event is sent when the VM obtains class file data,
      but before it constructs
      the in-memory representation for that class.
      This event is also sent when the class is being modified by the
      <functionlink id="RetransformClasses"/> function or
      the <functionlink id="RedefineClasses"/> function,
      called in any <jvmti/> environment.
      The agent can instrument
      the existing class file data sent by the VM to include profiling/debugging hooks.
      See the description of
      <internallink id="bci">bytecode instrumentation</internallink>
      for usage information.
      <p/>
    When the capabilities
    <internallink id="jvmtiCapabilities.can_generate_early_class_hook_events">
    <code>can_generate_early_class_hook_events</code></internallink> and
    <internallink id="jvmtiCapabilities.can_generate_all_class_hook_events">
    <code>can_generate_all_class_hook_events</code></internallink>
    are enabled then this event may be sent in the primordial phase.
    Otherwise, this event may be sent before the VM is initialized (the start
    <functionlink id="GetPhase">phase</functionlink>).
    Some classes might not be compatible
    with the function (eg. ROMized classes or implementation defined classes) and this event will
    not be generated for these classes.
    <p/>
    The agent must allocate the space for the modified
    class file data buffer
    using the memory allocation function
    <functionlink id="Allocate"></functionlink> because the
    VM is responsible for freeing the new class file data buffer
    using <functionlink id="Deallocate"></functionlink>.
    <p/>
    If the agent wishes to modify the class file, it must set
    <code>new_class_data</code> to point
    to the newly instrumented class file data buffer and set
    <code>new_class_data_len</code> to the length of that
    buffer before returning
    from this call.  If no modification is desired, the agent simply
    does not set <code>new_class_data</code>.  If multiple agents
    have enabled this event the results are chained. That is, if
    <code>new_class_data</code> has been set, it becomes the
    <code>class_data</code> for the next agent.
    <p/>
    When handling a class load in the live phase, then the
    <functionlink id="GetNamedModule"></functionlink>
    function can be used to map class loader and a package name to a module.
    When a class is being redefined or retransformed then
    <code>class_being_redefined</code> is non <code>NULL</code> and so
    the JNI <code>GetModule</code> function can also be used
    to obtain the Module.
    <p/>
    The order that this event is sent to each environment differs
    from other events.
    This event is sent to environments in the following order:
    <ul>
      <li><fieldlink id="can_retransform_classes"
                     struct="jvmtiCapabilities">retransformation
                                                incapable</fieldlink>
          environments, in the
          order in which they were created
      </li>
      <li><fieldlink id="can_retransform_classes"
                     struct="jvmtiCapabilities">retransformation

          environments, in the
          order in which they were created
      </li>
    </ul>
    When triggered by <functionlink id="RetransformClasses"/>,
    this event is sent only to <fieldlink id="can_retransform_classes"
                     struct="jvmtiCapabilities">retransformation

    <description>
      The VM start event signals the start of the VM.
      At this time JNI is live but the VM is not yet fully initialized.
      Once this event is generated, the agent is free to call any JNI function.
      This event signals the beginning of the start phase,
      <jvmti/> functions permitted in the start phase may be called.
      <p/>
      The timing of this event may depend on whether the agent has added the
      <internallink id="jvmtiCapabilities.can_generate_early_vmstart">
      <code>can_generate_early_vmstart</code></internallink> capability or not.
      If the capability has been added then the VM posts the event as early
      as possible. The VM is capable of executing bytecode but it may not have
      initialized to the point where it can load classes in modules other than
      <code>java.base</code>, or even arbitrary classes in <code>java.base</code>.
      Agents that do load-time instrumentation in this
      phase must take great care when instrumenting code that potentially
      executes in this phase. Extreme care should also be taken with JNI
      <code>FindClass</code> as it may not be possible to load classes and attempts
      to do so may result in unpredictable behavior, maybe even stability issues
      on some VM implementations.
      If the capability has not been added then the VM delays posting this
      event until it is capable of loading classes in modules other than
      <code>java.base</code> or the VM has completed its initialization.
      Agents that create more than one JVM TI environment, where the
      capability is added to some but not all environments, may observe the
      start phase beginning earlier in the JVM TI environments that possess
      the capability.
      <p/>
      In the case of VM start-up failure, this event will not be sent.

    <description>
      Sent when a method causes the virtual machine to directly allocate an
      Object visible to Java programming language code.
      Generally object allocation should be detected by instrumenting
      the bytecodes of allocating methods.
      Object allocation generated in native code by JNI function
      calls should be detected using
      <internallink id="jniIntercept">JNI function interception</internallink>.
      Some methods might not have associated bytecodes and are not
      native methods, they instead are executed directly by the
      VM. These methods should send this event.
      Virtual machines which are incapable of bytecode instrumentation
      for some or all of their methods can send this event.

      Note that the <internallink
      id="SampledObjectAlloc">SampledObjectAlloc</internallink>
      event is triggered on all Java object allocations, including those
      caused by bytecode method execution, JNI method execution, and
      directly by VM methods.
      <p/>
      Typical examples where this event might be sent:
      <ul>
        <li>Reflection -- for example, <code>java.lang.Class.newInstance()</code></li>
        <li>Methods not represented by bytecodes -- for example, VM intrinsics and
            J2ME preloaded classes</li>
      </ul>
      Cases where this event would not be generated:
      <ul>
        <li>Allocation due to bytecodes -- for example, the <code>new</code>
            and <code>newarray</code> VM instructions</li>
        <li>Allocation due to JNI function calls -- for example,
            <code>AllocObject</code></li>
        <li>Allocations during VM initialization</li>
        <li>VM internal objects</li>

      This implies that, on average, one object will be sampled every time a thread has
      allocated 512KB bytes since the last sample.
      <p/>
      Note that the sampler is pseudo-random: it will not sample every 512KB precisely.
      The goal of this is to ensure high quality sampling even if allocation is
      happening in a fixed pattern (i.e., the same set of objects are being allocated
      every 512KB).
      <p/>
      If another sampling interval is required, the user can call
      <functionlink id="SetHeapSamplingInterval"></functionlink> with a strictly positive integer value,
      representing the new sampling interval.
      <p/>
      This event is sent once the sampled allocation has been performed.  It provides the object, stack trace
      of the allocation, the thread allocating, the size of allocation, and the object's class.
      <p/>
      A typical use case of this system is to determine where heap allocations originate.
      In conjunction with weak references and the function
      <functionlink id="GetStackTrace"></functionlink>, a user can track which objects were allocated from which
      stack trace, and which are still live during the execution of the program.

<issuessection label="Issues">
  <intro id="suspendRequired" label="Resolved Issue: Suspend - Required or Automatic">
    JVMDI requires that the agent suspend threads before calling
    certain sensitive functions.  JVMPI requires garbage collection to be
    disabled before calling certain sensitive functions.
    It was suggested that rather than have this requirement, that
    VM place itself in a suitable state before performing an
    operation.  This makes considerable sense since each VM
    knows its requirements and can most easily arrange a
    safe state.
    <p/>
    The ability to externally suspend/resume threads will, of
    course, remain.  The ability to enable/disable garbage collection will not.
    <p/>
    This issue is resolved--suspend will not
    be required.  The spec has been updated to reflect this.
  </intro>

  <intro id="stackSampling" label="Resolved Issue: Call Stack Sampling">
    There are a variety of approaches to sampling call stacks.
    The biggest bifurcation is between VM controlled and agent
    controlled.
    <p/>
    This issue is resolved--agent controlled
    sampling will be the approach.
  </intro>

  <intro id="threadRepresentation" label="Resolved Issue: Thread Representation">
    JVMDI represents threads as jthread.  JVMPI primarily
    uses JNIEnv* to represent threads.
    <p/>
    The Expert Group has chosen jthread as the representation
    for threads in <jvmti/>.
    JNIEnv* is sent by
    events since it is needed to JNI functions.  JNIEnv, per the
    JNI spec, are not supposed to be used outside their thread.
  </intro>

  <intro id="design" label="Resolved Issue: Method Representation">
    The JNI spec allows an implementation to depend on jclass/jmethodID
    pairs, rather than simply a jmethodID, to reference a method.
    JVMDI, for consistency, choose the same representation.
    JVMPI, however, specifies that a jmethodID alone maps to a
    method.  Both of the Sun <tm>J2SE</tm> virtual machines (Classic and <tm>HotSpot</tm>) store
    pointers in jmethodIDs, and as a result, a jmethodID is sufficient.
    In fact, any JVM implementation that supports JVMPI must have
    such a representation.
    <jvmti/> will use jmethodID as a unique representation of a method
    (no jclass is used).
    There should be efficiency gains, particularly in
    functionality like stack dumping, to this representation.
    <p/>
    Note that fields were not used in JVMPI and that the access profile
    of fields differs from methods--for implementation efficiency
    reasons, a jclass/jfieldID pair will still be needed for field
    reference.
  </intro>

  <intro id="localReferenceIssue" label="Resolved Issue: Local References">
    Functions return local references.
  </intro>

  <intro id="frameRep" label="Resolved Issue: Representation of frames">
    In JVMDI, a frame ID is used to represent a frame.  Problem with this
    is that a VM must track when a frame becomes invalid, a far better
    approach, and the one used in <jvmti/>, is to reference frames by depth.
  </intro>

  <intro id="requiredCapabilities" label="Issue: Required Capabilities">
    Currently, having a required capabilities means that the functionality
    is optional.   Capabilities are useful even for required functionality
    since they can inform the VM is needed set-up.  Thus, there should be
    a set of capabilities that a conformant implementation must provide
    (if requested during Agent_OnLoad).
  </intro>

  <intro id="taghint" label="Proposal: add tag hint function">
    A hint of the percentage of objects that will be tagged would
    help the VM pick a good implementation.
  </intro>

  <intro id="moreMonitorQueries" label="Request: More Monitor Quires">
  How difficult or easy would be to extend the monitor_info category to include
    <pre>
  - current number of monitors
  - enumeration of monitors
  - enumeration of threads waiting on a given monitor
    </pre>
  The reason for my question is the fact that current get_monitor_info support
  requires the agent to specify a given thread to get the info which is probably
  OK in the profiling/debugging space, while in the monitoring space the agent
  could be watching the monitor list and then decide which thread to ask for
  the info. You might ask why is this important for monitoring .... I think it
  can aid in the detection/prediction of application contention caused by hot-locks.
