Re: [Jikesrvm-researchers] question about RVM as a running tool

[David P G. <gr...@us...>]

Hi,

      So far, tool mode has only been used for the jdp debugger.  It would
probably make sense to generalize it to support other 'tool' uses of RVM
classes as you suggested.
      For the particular piece of code you were looking at, jdp never needs
the opt method summaries to be created, so they are not created.  I suspect
it would work to compute them unconditionally any time the opt compiler was
included in the build.  I don't think there was any fundamental reason to
exclude them when building for tool.
