Just wonder what is the purpose of dummy parameter in native fillInStackTrace
method. Couldn't we simply rename it (e.g. to fillInStackTrace0)
Using an overload instead of renaming the native method was initially
done to avoid having to make changes to the stacktrace filtering code in
the VM. It turns out that we need to make a change anyway, but it is
easier if we stick with the one name for the method to be filtered out.
This isn't set in concrete though.

Subject: Code review request for 6998871 "Support making the
Throwable.stackTrace field immutable"
Hello.
Returning to some earlier work, I've developed a proposed fix for
6998871 "Support making the Throwable.stackTrace field immutable"
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~darcy/6998871.2/
One constructor of Throwable now takes an additional boolean argument to
make the stack trace information immutable. Analogous constructors are
added to Exception, RuntimeException, and Error.
Mandy and David have already reviewed the change; I'm interested in
getting additional feedback on the design of the API.
Cheers,
-Joe
