RFR (M): 8019519: PPC64 (part 105): C interpreter: implement support for jvmti early return.

[serguei.spitsyn at oracle.com]

Hi Goetz,

As before it looks good in general.

I'm not sure the following change is correct:


-      THREAD->clr_pop_frame_in_process();
+    } else {
+      istate->set_msg(return_from_method);
      }


The above will reset the *msg* to the *return_from_method*
when it was already set to the *early_return* which is
inconsistent with the *popping_frame* case.

Could you explain why did you make it for non-popping_frame cases only?
It would not surprise me if it does not matter though. :)


Also, one more case needs to be added to the BytecodeInterpreter::C_msg():

322?      case BytecodeInterpreter::early_return:  return("early_return");



One more comment below...

It is explicitly disabled in the jvmtiManageCapabilities.cpp:
#ifndef CC_INTERP
   jc.can_pop_frame = 1;
   jc.can_force_early_return = 1;
#endif // !CC_INTERP

It is because it was not fully implemented yet for CC_INTERP.
You can take the can_force_early_return out of the ifdef.


Thanks,
