>> The root cause is, that dlopen() on AIX returns different handles every time, even if you load a library twice. There is no official AIX API available to get this information on a different way.
>> My proposal is, to use the stat64x API with the fields st_device and st_inode. After a dlopen() the stat64x() API is called additionally to get this information which is then stored parallel to the library handle in the jvmtiAgent. For AIX we then can compare these values instead of the library handle and get the same functionality as on linux.
