      Description

        "whatis" is the same as "findpc", but also calls LoadObject.lookup() on the address and will also try to determine the C++ Type of the address. However, with the proposed improvements to PointerFinder in JDK-8247514, findpc will also include support for this (plus other types of address lookups), so these two commands will do the same thing. I do still plan on adding "whatis" since some people might still rely on it from when it worked in JDK 8, and may not know that findpc will do the same.
