Ah, I see where you are confused now. The comment is indeed elliptical.
Fully qualified it would be 'we need to notify a  Jvmti
compiled_method_load event to the Jvmti agent associated with this
JvmtiEnv'. I acknowledge that's 'notifying an event to a client' is a
rather jargon-tinged (actually more realistically -tanned) usage of the
verb 'notify'. Since you didn't follow it I'll take that as evidence of
inadequacy and rephrase as follows:

// we need to dispatch a compiled_method_load event
// to all registered Jvmti agents
