Re: [rvm-research] Heap Dumps in Jikes

Hey,

thanks for your quick response. I feared so...

The purpose is to support an external debugging system with information 
about the data, that has been the current state when a fail in a 
monitored process occurs. So every piece that can be extracted and 
diagnostically used would be relevant.

A great pity, that your implementations didn't work out that well.

Kind regards,
Johannes
