Interface SC

public interface SC

This class contains the offsets that define that define the layout of the array (of type "[-local-") that implements a stack for a thread.

Field Summary

static int	guard This is a word that is always unused.
static int	lastBCI The bytecode index of the next instruction to be executed in the inner most activation frame's method.
static int	lastFP The pointer to the inner most activation frame in the stack.
static int	limit The offset of the stack limit (i.e.
static int	next The index of the pointer to the next stack chunk in a list of stack chunks.
static int	owner The index of the pointer to the VMThread instance that owns this chunk.

Field Detail

next

static final int next

The index of the pointer to the next stack chunk in a list of stack chunks. This is only used by a generational collector.

guard

static final int guard

This is a word that is always unused. If this word is ever non-zero then an overflow of the stack has occurred.
