RFR: JDK-8196930 - [Testbug] serviceability/sa/ClhsdbFindPC.java fails to find expected output

[Sharath Ballal]

Daniel,
This is a different problem than getting the null method.  Here we are expecting "invoke return entry points" in the output of findpc command but getting ""method entry point".
The null method problem seems to be specific to AArch64 system and I am looking at it separately.

Thanks,
Sharath

This test actually fails for me for the same reason that ClhsdbJstack.java fails, there is a frame in the stack of the main method that is returning null for the method. See the OpenJDK bug at https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8196969 for details of that issue. 

In this case I get the same problem, that a Method is null in the stack, which then causes a failure at 73 of ClhsdbFindPC.java. 

Daniel

Yep sorry - missed that bit.
