Guys, how about having 2 native threads - one calling some java method, another one monitoring that the first one is active and is not stuck on safepoint (which points to GC pause)? Testing GC pause with java thread is a bit strange and can give info only after GC pause finishes. Native threads can give info immediately. This was suggested by V. Ozerov some time ago. Vova, I believe we already have a ticket. Can you please provide a link?
