Need both JNI signatures and Generic signatures in the Local Variable Table

XMLWordPrintable

    • b32
    • generic, sparc
    • solaris_8, solaris_9

      The proposed VM Spec version 1.3 states that if a local variable has
      a generic type, then the Local Variable Table entry for that variable
      will contain the generic signature and not the JNI signature.

      In order to support existing debuggers, we need to have the
      JNI signature available in addition to the generic signature.
      This should be done in such away that the existing LVT format
      is retained and the new generic signature
      info is added in a backward compatible fashion.
