Description

Name: vpR10197			Date: 06/08/2004


The GetThrownExceptions and GetExceptionHandlerTable functions return 
JVMDI_ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED but specification passes over it in silence.
According to the following will-not-fix bugs:

    4305457 GetThrownExceptions not implemented
    4306835 GetExceptionHandlerTable not implemented

JVMDI_ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED could be considered as legal return value.
So these functions should be specified as optional.

This bug affects the following tests:

     nsk/jvmdi/GetExceptionHandlerTable/handltab001
     nsk/jvmdi/GetThrownExceptions/thrownex001

EVALUATION ###@###.### 2004-06-08 Need to add a new capability for this, and document it in the JVMDI spec. GetThrownExceptions, GetExceptionHandlerTable functions are removed in jvmti. And jvmdi is deprecated so closing it as will not fix. -Swamy ###@###.### 2005-03-03 23:10:20 GMT
