Hi Vladimir,

Thanks for taking a look.

I have updated the bug with a link to 8005849, thanks.

"Is it possible to prepare a jtreg test which will use AsynchGetCallTrace and 
catch such situations in a future?"

I agree that having a way to check for regression here would be ideal.

I also realize that creating reliable regression tests for this part of the 
code is a non-trivial undertaking. For example, the code showing this 
particular regression needs to be a call tree with intertwined Java/JNI/native 
code. For one, a regression test for AsyncGetCallTrace needs, besides logic for 
AsyncGetCallTrace thread suspension itself, also involve a target using native 
code, and this means compiling native code etc etc....

I will create a separate bug/enhancement to track investigation efforts as to 
what kind of regression tests can be done here (maybe the native parts can be 
done in the VM itself and then using RegisterNatives() to hook up a test 
case...hmm...)

Thanks again for reviewing

/Markus

Hi, Markus

I think the bug report should link to 8005849 which introduced this additional 
check and regression.

Is it possible to prepare a jtreg test which will use AsynchGetCallTrace and 
catch such situations in a future?

The fix itself looks good.

Thanks,
Vladimir
