When will getOperandStack() function be implemented?

Hi,

I need to get hold of the operand stack in my JVMTI agent and there is a function defenition for exactly what I want (getOperandStack()) in jvmdi.h but there is no implementation.

I have googled this and found bugs lodged against this (http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4508774), but the bug evaluation says it will be implemented in tiger.

I have tiger installed and it has still not been implemented.

Does anyone have any idea of when this very useful function will be implemented?

Many thanks,

Joe

Hi Joe,

We have been considering this feature for some time. It would be a difficult feature to implement -- so we have chosen to implement more pressing functionality.In the past, we have been able to find workarounds for tools that wanted this functionality. What are you needing this for?

Thanks for yor interest,

Hello Robert,I am developing a bytecode debugger and I would like the user to be able to view the operand stack as they step through their bytecode.What workarounds exist for this functionality?Any help would be greatly appreciated.Cheers,

I know it's over 6 months from the last post, but I've encountered the exact same problem. Bugs in Sun's bug database regarding this issue are over 6 years old. Does anyone know some kind of a workaround for this problem?

There is no workaround for this. So far very few people have askedfor this feature so this was not been the top priority. I do not knowif this will be implemented in 7.0 release. If this RFE gets morevote then this will be implemented soon.

I think it is a nice to have feature.
