This is how the current JVM TI spec defines.
Since it looks like this reference was present before your changes, I
guess it's ok to leave it, but like JDWP maybe a bug should be filed
to clean it up.
Right, they are existing reference. I'll let Serguei to file a JBS
issue to follow up.
Regarding your JNI spec reference, it say "The JNI uses the Java VM’s
representation of type signatures" and then has a table called "Java
VM Type Signatures". No where in the JNI spec do you see "JNI
Signature" or "JNI Type Signature". It seems we should always just use
"Type Signature"?
I agree that the svc specs should be examined and use the terminologies
consistently.
Even the JVMTI spec is not consistent. It has a couple of references
to JNI Type Signature as links to the JNI spec, but also says "type
signatures" in a couple of places, including for
GetLocalVariableTable() which refers the the JVMS: "The local
variable's type signature, encoded as a modified UTF-8 string. The
signature format is the same as that defined in The Java™ Virtual
Machine Specification, Chapter 4.3.2. "
