counter carry

[rouhollah.gougol at students.sjsu.edu]

Hello everybody,

Would somebody explain to me what happens to the invocation can backward branch counters of a method after the JIT compilation of the method. Will the conters be reset and incremented again? Why Hotspot sets carry and states bits in the counter and where and how does it check these bits?

Thanks in Advance,

R. N. Gougol
