I've looked at your proposal, but I can't see how it can help to fix [JDK-8311500](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8311500). Your change proposes to add a bunch of new Java SE specific changes which can't be downported to any previous JDK version but [JDK-8311500](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8311500) affects JDK 11, 17 and 21. I'd therefore still appreciate if we could fix [JDK-8311500](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8311500) first before we start to redesign the public StackWalker API. In case you do redesign the `StackWalker` API, I fully agree with @bchristi-git that the current version is overkill. As your [specdiff](https://cr.openjdk.org/~mchung/jdk22/specdiff/overview-summary.html) shows, it introduces 34 API changes (9 additions and 18 changes) with no clear benefit. I second @bchristi-git that an addtional `StackWalker.Option` would be simpler and much cleaner (I'd vote for `SKIP_METHOD_INFO`) if we decide to change the API at all.. Another point that should be taken into account when we start to redesign the StackWalker API is its interaction with the `-XX:+ShowHiddenFrames` command line parameter. This is currently not specified and can lead to surprising results (see e.g. [this remark about failing JTreg tests with `-XX:+ShowHiddenFrames`](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/14773#issuecomment-1631065562)). I'm also not convinced that doing frame filtering in Java is the right thing to do. If we have to call into the JVM anyway, I think it would be more natural to let the JVM do as much of the work as possible. To me it seems as if your change is mostly about improving the performance of stack walks and I think this could be achieved to an even greater extent without the need to change the public API, simply by improving the implementation. Such improvements could than also be downported to JDK 17 & 21 which isn't possible with your approach. If it turns out that API changes are required in order to achieve superior performance, we should try to keep them to a minimum and weight them against the performance benefits. E.g. we could

Whether we use a new enum or a new option constant, we will need changes to the API documentation. If we use a new option constant we won't need any new static factory methods though. Whether filtering is performed in java or in native is orthogonal to that. The trend these days is to do as much as possible in java, and the patch goes in that direction. There is a small price to pay if the frame to be filtered is a continuation, as this will cause the member name to be resolved. Is that significant enough to push back towards doing the filtering in native: I don't know. It may be worth investigating. - PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/15370#issuecomment-1695899325

This PR can be viewed as follows: 1. introduce a new API to allow walking the stack with no method information and the implementation will use `ClassFrameInfo` buffer 2. reduce the memory footprint of `StackFrameInfo` buffer 3. change `getCallerClass` to use the `ClassFrameInfo` buffer 4. fix JDK-8311500 by checking if a method is caller-sensitive in Java. Note that the filtering of reflection frames has been done in Java. #2-4 can be backport to older releases. #2 improve the StackWalker performance.Backporting the PR should be straight-forward by excluding the API and javadoc change. - PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/15370#issuecomment-1696134958
