Start routine: (void *(*)(void*))continuation. Where is the function?

[David Holmes]

Hi Alexey,

The discuss list is for discussion of the OpenJDK project as a whole, 
not for specific code questions. This question, concerning the launcher, 
should be asked on core-libs-dev at openjdk.java.net.

That said, look for:

     rslt = ContinueInNewThread0(JavaMain, threadStackSize, (void*)&args);

JavaMain is the function executed in the new thread. I can't tell from 
your fragment what version of the code you are looking at.

Regards,
David
