Re: GCJ Thread Dump


Hi Mark,

> Is there any way to get a thread dump from a running GCJ application in the > same way you can send a kill -3 signal to the Sun JVM?
No, there isn't, and it would be extremely hard to do. Whan we have a
problem like this, we attach gdb to the process.
This not my alley, as I don't know what the outcome of kill -3 does to Sun's JVM. However, can you perchance use the dump mechanism that David Daney mentions in the thread http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java/2005-02/msg00037.html:

"I have code that does a heap dump that I would be good to put in the interface as well. Given the heap dump and a post processing program we generate things like the number and type of each reachable object as well as the value of each String."
