JVM_DumpAllStacks in jvm.h

[Langer, Christoph]

Hi,

I have a question to the experts:

While looking around in the hotspot source code to understand the ways of printing thread dumps and its implementation, I stumbled over JVM_DumpAllStacks from jvm.h. Grepping the OpenJDK repo shows me that this function apparently is not used at all. Would it be a candidate for removal? If so, shall I file a bug and post a patch for its removal?

Alternatively, maybe I can build on this function. I'm looking for a way to trigger thread dumps out of Java code in java.base. Is there any elegant way to do this? Maybe you have some suggestions...?

Thanks & Best regards
Christoph
