    35 // This table encapsulates the debugging information required by the
    36 // serviceability agent in order to run. Specifically, we need to
    37 // understand the layout of certain C data structures (offsets, in
    38 // bytes, of their fields.)
    39 //
    40 // There are alternatives for the design of this mechanism, including
    41 // parsing platform-specific debugging symbols from a debug build into
    42 // a program database. While this current mechanism can be considered
    43 // to be a workaround for the inability to debug arbitrary C and C++
    44 // programs at the present time, it does have certain advantages.
    45 // First, it is platform-independent, which will vastly simplify the
    46 // initial bringup of the system both now and on future platforms.
    47 // Second, it is embedded within the VM, as opposed to being in a
    48 // separate program database; experience has shown that whenever
    49 // portions of a system are decoupled, version skew is problematic.
    50 // Third, generating a program database, for example for a product
    51 // build, would probably require two builds to be done: the desired
    52 // product build as well as an intermediary build with the PRODUCT
    53 // flag turned on but also compiled with -g, leading to a doubling of
    54 // the time required to get a serviceability agent-debuggable product
    55 // build. Fourth, and very significantly, this table probably
    56 // preserves more information about field types than stabs do; for
    57 // example, it preserves the fact that a field is a "jlong" rather
    58 // than transforming the type according to the typedef in jni_md.h,
    59 // which allows the Java-side code to identify "Java-sized" fields in
    60 // C++ data structures. If the symbol parsing mechanism was redone
    61 // using stabs, it might still be necessary to have a table somewhere
    62 // containing this information.
    63 //
    64 // Do not change the sizes or signedness of the integer values in
    65 // these data structures; they are fixed over in the serviceability
    66 // agent's Java code (for bootstrapping).
