It occurs to me that some folks might want to look at the spec:

The Microsoft link has a click through agreement so I also provided
a link to a copy of the straight HTML that I found.

Greetings,
I would like to get a couple of code reviews for my fix to the
following JDK7/HSX-20 bug:
6987812 2/3 SAJDI: "gHotSpotVMTypes was not initialized properly in
the remote process"
Here is the URL for the webrev:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dcubed/6987812-webrev/0/
Here is an overview of the changes:
- Reorder the code in HotSpotTypeDataBase.readVMTypes() to lookup
and decode the 'gHotSpotVMTypes' symbol first. This should help
make any future failures in this area more consistent.
- COFFFileParser changes:
- add comments to clarify some of the algorithms
- read 'Base Of Data' field in optional header when PE32
format COFF file is read
- change ExportDirectoryTableImpl to return the 'Export RVA' field
without modification and to return the 'Forwarder RVA' field
after adjusting the address into a file offset
- update debugger/win32/coff/DumpExports to include more info about
the section headers and to dump the exported symbol info in a more
understandable order
- update debugger/win32/coff/TestParser to more clearly access the
section header using 1-based indices instead of 0-based indices
- update the static initializer in debugger/windbg/WindbgDebuggerLocal
to use different library loading logic for dbgeng.dll and dbghelp.dll.
The library pair is searched for in:
- $JAVA_HOME/jre/bin
- dir named by DEBUGGINGTOOLSFORWINDOWS environment variable
- the "Debugging Tools For Windows" program directory
- the "Debugging Tools For Windows (x86)" program directory
- the "Debugging Tools For Windows (x64)" program directory
- the system directory (WINDOWS/system32 is searched last)
- the sawwindb.dll is now explicitly loaded from $JAVA_HOME/jre/bin
Thanks, in advance, for any reviews.
Dan
