Disable JVM from handling hard errors

[Huang, Baiyan]

Hi, everyone,

Suppose I have a simple JNI program in Windows:

int* p = NULL;
*p = 5;

When run it from JVM,  not like normal C++ application, JVM will nicely catch such hard exception and do some cleanup work.

The problem here is it also stops me from generating crash dumps right there, although there is a JVM option: -XX:OnError, but core dumps generated at this point is far from the crime scene thus hard to debug.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks.

-Baiyan
