I checked the descriptions of the referrer_class_tag and referrer_tag_ptr parameters and I think they are okay. So it will be mostly the change to the description of JVMTI_HEAP_REFERENCE_OTHER to allow it be used for both heap roots and heap references. Dan brings up the topic of the "Java-language view" and it might be better to deal with that as a separate issue. In the mean-time then maybe "Implementation Note" is appropriate (See the example in "Agent Start-Up (Live phase)" or the API note example in ForceEarlyReturnVoid to see what I mean.) ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/32519#issuecomment-5616586043
