Description
The current JVMPI specifies COMPILE_METOD_LOAD to provide PC to source
line mapping. The actual implementation rarely generates such a mapping and
even when it does, its quality is quite low. It is believed that the dynamic
compiler should rather provide PC to byte-code index mapping and leave the rest
to profiling tools, which should map available information to source lines
using line number information from class files.

Comments
EVALUATION This is how it is done in JVMTI, so this rfe is resolved. ###@###.### 2004-02-16
