Re: loaded classes question

Hi Jennifer,

Yes this is possible.  The _svmt_JavaVM struct has a class loader field
that contains a linked list of class loaders.  Each class loader
maintains its own tree of classes ("initiated").  Note that for each
class in a tree, you should check that its class loader ("defining") is
the current one, if you want accurate results.  [This complexity comes
from Chapter 5 of the JVM spec.]

In other words, you are looking for all the classes that were defined by
(application) class loaders.  The bootstrap class loader has no
"class_loader_instance" (e.g. == NULL).

Each loaded class appears in the "initiated" tree of one or more class
loaders, but only one of these class loaders is the defining one.  The
_svmt_class_info struct has a field pointing to it.

Hoping this helps.

Etienne
PS: Please read chapter 5 of the JVM spec. :-)
