It's still not clear to me if the result of
`JvmtiEnvBase::is_cthread_with_continuation()` impacts if you have to possibly
skip hidden frames. In other words, do you always have to do the `if` block
that follows, no matter what `JvmtiEnvBase::is_cthread_with_continuation()`
returns? If you don't, then maybe instead of a "? :" expression, an if/else
would be better. I'm not sure if the following is correct, but something like:
javaVFrame *jvf;
if (JvmtiEnvBase::is_cthread_with_continuation(jt)) {
jvf = jt->carrier_last_java_vframe(reg_map_p);
} else {
jvf - jt->last_java_vframe(reg_map_p);
// Skipping hidden frames when jt->is_in_tmp_VTMS_transition()==true
results
// in returning jvf==NULL, and so, empty stack traces for carrier threads.
if (!jt->is_in_tmp_VTMS_transition()) {
jvf = check_and_skip_hidden_frames(jt, jvf);
}
}
