Hi David,

The "fake exception" was never meant to give you a stack trace, but only indicate which line the failure happened at. Unfortunately you are hitting:

void exitOnError(jvmtiError error) {
    if (!NSK_JVMTI_VERIFY(error)) {
        exit(error);
    }
}

So this isn't really the point of failure, just a detection of it after, and buried in a C call. An example of the "fake exception" doing better would be https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8224555:

# ERROR: tc02t001.cpp, 126: line == lines[enterEventsCount] || line == (lines[enterEventsCount] + 1)
# verified assertion is FALSE

        if (!NSK_VERIFY(line == lines[enterEventsCount] ||
                line == (lines[enterEventsCount] + 1))) {

I haven't looked at NSK_JVMTI_VERIFY yet, but possibly it could do better, and maybe exitOnError would play a role in that (would need to be macroized) so we know who is calling exitOnError().

I'm investigating some JVM TI scenario test failures following a change I made in hotspot. The log shows:

The following fake exception stacktrace is for failure analysis.
nsk.share.Fake_Exception_for_RULE_Creation: (jvmti_tools.cpp:683) error
    at nsk_lvcomplain(nsk_tools.cpp:172)
# ERROR: jvmti_tools.cpp, 683: error
#   jvmti error: code=52, name=JVMTI_ERROR_INTERRUPT

and that is it. This stacktrace is completely useless as it doesn't show from where nsk_lvcomplain is called!

Does anyone know how this is supposed to work and whether there is some way for me to get a real stacktrace?

Thanks,
David
