    25 // This table encapsulates the debugging information required by the
    26 // serviceability agent in order to run. Specifically, we need to
    27 // understand the layout of certain C data structures (offsets, in
    28 // bytes, of their fields.)
    29 //
    30 // There are alternatives for the design of this mechanism, including
    31 // parsing platform-specific debugging symbols from a debug build into
    32 // a program database. While this current mechanism can be considered
    33 // to be a workaround for the inability to debug arbitrary C and C++
    34 // programs at the present time, it does have certain advantages.
    35 // First, it is platform-independent, which will vastly simplify the
    36 // initial bringup of the system both now and on future platforms.
    37 // Second, it is embedded within the VM, as opposed to being in a
    38 // separate program database; experience has shown that whenever
    39 // portions of a system are decoupled, version skew is problematic.
    40 // Third, generating a program database, for example for a product
    41 // build, would probably require two builds to be done: the desired
    42 // product build as well as an intermediary build with the PRODUCT
    43 // flag turned on but also compiled with -g, leading to a doubling of
    44 // the time required to get a serviceability agent-debuggable product
    45 // build. Fourth, and very significantly, this table probably
    46 // preserves more information about field types than stabs do; for
    47 // example, it preserves the fact that a field is a "jlong" rather
    48 // than transforming the type according to the typedef in jni_md.h,
    49 // which allows the Java-side code to identify "Java-sized" fields in
    50 // C++ data structures. If the symbol parsing mechanism was redone
    51 // using stabs, it might still be necessary to have a table somewhere
    52 // containing this information.
    53 //
    54 // Do not change the sizes or signedness of the integer values in
    55 // these data structures; they are fixed over in the serviceability
    56 // agent's Java code (for bootstrapping).
