No there is no verbiage to explain it, but that was the fix that put in
the code:
496 static jdwpTransportError JNICALL
497socketTransport_writePacket(jdwpTransportEnv* env, const jdwpPacket
*packet)
498{
499 jint len, data_len, id;
500 /*
501 * room for header and up to MAX_DATA_SIZE data bytes
502 */
503 char header[HEADER_SIZE + MAX_DATA_SIZE];
504 jbyte *data;
505
506 /* packet can't be null */
507 if (packet == NULL) {
508 RETURN_ERROR(JDWPTRANSPORT_ERROR_ILLEGAL_ARGUMENT, "packet is NULL");
509 }
510
511 len = packet->type.cmd.len; /* includes header */
512 data_len = len - HEADER_SIZE;
513
514 /* bad packet */
515 if (data_len < 0) {
516 RETURN_ERROR(JDWPTRANSPORT_ERROR_ILLEGAL_ARGUMENT, "invalid length");
517 }
518
519 /* prepare the header for transmission */
520 len = (jint)dbgsysHostToNetworkLong(len);
521 id = (jint)dbgsysHostToNetworkLong(packet->type.cmd.id);
522
523 memcpy(header + 0, &len, 4);
524 memcpy(header + 4, &id, 4);
525 header[8] = packet->type.cmd.flags;
526 if (packet->type.cmd.flags & JDWPTRANSPORT_FLAGS_REPLY) {
527 jshort errorCode =
528 dbgsysHostToNetworkShort(packet->type.reply.errorCode);
529 memcpy(header + 9, &errorCode, 2);
530 } else {
531 header[9] = packet->type.cmd.cmdSet;
532 header[10] = packet->type.cmd.cmd;
533 }
534
535 data = packet->type.cmd.data;
536 /* Do one send for short packets, two for longer ones */
537 if (data_len <= MAX_DATA_SIZE) {
538 memcpy(header + HEADER_SIZE, data, data_len);
539 if (dbgsysSend(socketFD, (char *)&header, HEADER_SIZE +
data_len, 0) !=
540 HEADER_SIZE + data_len) {
541 RETURN_IO_ERROR("send failed");
542 }
543 } else {
544 memcpy(header + HEADER_SIZE, data, MAX_DATA_SIZE);
545 if (dbgsysSend(socketFD, (char *)&header, HEADER_SIZE +
MAX_DATA_SIZE, 0) !=
546 HEADER_SIZE + MAX_DATA_SIZE) {
547 RETURN_IO_ERROR("send failed");
548 }
549 /* Send the remaining data bytes right out of the data area. */
550 if (dbgsysSend(socketFD, (char *)data + MAX_DATA_SIZE,
551 data_len - MAX_DATA_SIZE, 0) != data_len -
MAX_DATA_SIZE) {
552 RETURN_IO_ERROR("send failed");
553 }
554 }
555
556 return JDWPTRANSPORT_ERROR_NONE;
557}
