Hi,
There are a couple opportunities to reduce the memory footprint of
java.lang.StackFrameInfo (the internal implementation of
java.lang.StackWalker.StackFrame):
8153682[1] : StackFrameInfo.declaringClass could be removed
8185925[2] : StackFrameInfo::walker field can be replaced with bitmap to
save footprint
I had a look using jol[3]. Removing only 'walker' helps only under 32-
and 64-bit, but not with compressed oops. Removing both 'walker' and
'declaringClass' brings a benefit to compressed oops as well (though not
for 16-byte aligned).
The size change, in bytes, for each execution mode is as follows:
32-bit: 32->24
64-bit: 56->40
64/compressed oops: 32->24
64/compressed oops, 16-byte aligned: 32->32
(For reference, the jol reports for the baseline and specimen are at [4]
and [5], respectively.)
Please review my code change for this. The webrev is here:

An automated test run is in progress.
Thanks!
-Brent
