src/share/tools/hsdis/hsdis.c:
Maybe decode_instructions should call decode_instructions_virtual.
agent/src/share/classes/sun/jvm/hotspot/asm/Disassembler.java:
+ String cpu = VM.getVM().getCPU();
+ if (cpu.equals("sparc")) {
+ if (VM.getVM().isLP64()) {
+ libname = "hsdis-sparcv9";
+ options = "v9only";
+ } else {
+ libname = "hsdis-sparc";
+ }
+ } else if (cpu.equals("x86")) {
+ libname = "hsdis-i386";
+ } else if (cpu.equals("amd64")) {
+ libname = "hsdis-amd64";
+ } else if (cpu.equals("ia64")) {
+ libname = "hsdis-ia64";
+ }
Should we use some default libname here like:
libname = "hsdis-" + cpu;
so we cover other architectures too (and only special-case sparc, x86, ...)?
Otherwise it looks good.
