27 /** <P> This interface abstracts over access to operating system-level
a61af66fc99e Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
28 threads in the underlying process. It is designed to be minimal
a61af66fc99e Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
29 and generic to allow cross-platform compatibility. </P>
a61af66fc99e Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
30
a61af66fc99e Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
31 <P> The basic operation this interface supports is creating a
a61af66fc99e Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
32 sun.jvm.hotspot.debugger.ThreadProxy "token" for an existing
a61af66fc99e Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
33 thread. As an example, the HotSpot VM contains a list of Java
a61af66fc99e Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
34 threads, encapsulated in VM-specific JavaThread objects. Each of
a61af66fc99e Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
35 these contains a platform-dependent field with the OS-level thread
a61af66fc99e Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
36 identifier; on Solaris, this field's type is "thread_t", while on
a61af66fc99e Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
37 Windows, it is HANDLE. It is necessary to be able to map from
a61af66fc99e Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
38 these fields to a ThreadProxy object, in particular to be able to
a61af66fc99e Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
39 get the thread's context. However, since the types of these fields
a61af66fc99e Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
40 vary greatly from OS to OS (some use integers as thread IDs, some
a61af66fc99e Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
41 use pointers as thread handles) it is not possible to define one
a61af66fc99e Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
42 particular type (Address, long) in this interface as the lookup
a61af66fc99e Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
43 "key" for a Thread. </P>
a61af66fc99e Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
44
a61af66fc99e Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
45 <P> For this reason this mapping mechanism takes the Address of
a61af66fc99e Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
46 the memory location containing the thread identifier. On Solaris,
a61af66fc99e Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
47 this is the address of a location containing a thread_t; on
a61af66fc99e Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
48 Windows, this is the address of a location containing a HANDLE for
a61af66fc99e Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
49 a thread. On Linux, this is the address of a location containing a
a61af66fc99e Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
50 pthread_t.</P>
a61af66fc99e Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
51
a61af66fc99e Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
52 <P> The {@link sun.jvm.hotspot.debugger.cdbg.CDebugger} interface
a61af66fc99e Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
53 provides access to the entire thread list of the target process,
a61af66fc99e Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
54 but this is optional functionality not required to get the SA to
a61af66fc99e Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
