[DRLVM][JVMTI] Java methods called from JVMTI functions should not generate events
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HARMONY-1950
                 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-1950
             Project: Harmony
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: DRLVM
            Reporter: Nikolay Kuznetsov


Several JVMTI functions call java methods during their execution(to query j.l.Thread state for instance). If SINGLE_STEP or METHOD_ENTRY/EXIT events are enabled, this may result in generating these events for internal calls to these java methods. 

While JVMTI spec says nothing about execution of Java code in JVMTI functions, reference implementation does not generates such events. Moreover those
functions generates events which does not reflect user code behavior and may mislead user JVMTI agents.

Thus calling Java code from JVMTI function should not result in generating events.
