JDK-4051149 - javavm cannot run with multibytes class name
Description
Create a class with MB method name and MB variable names.

After compiling with -g flag(see bug 4051149 for other limitations), run jdb. The following problems occurs:

1) Unable to set a breakpoint inside a MB method via stop-in command. You can do so using <class-name>:<line number>.

2) Assuming you set the breakpoint using <class-name>:<line number>, when the breakpoint inside MB method is hit, jdb will print the garbage method name.

3) Using the locals command, try printing the names of MB variables. jdb will print garbage variable names.

EVALUATION Starting with kestrel, JPDA is the standard debugging API. We will no longer be making enhancements to sun.tools.debug. gordon.hirsch@eng 2000-01-26
