Description Matt Heitz CLA 2011-08-18 17:22:55 EDT 
There are at least two beneficial ways we could use this information.

* We can create stack frame objects to pass to Throwable.setStackTrace(), so the exceptions we throw have a nice EGL stack trace.  That's understandable to the EGL programmer.

* When we catch a NullPointerException we should be able to tell if it came from generated code, the runtime, or an external type.  If it came from an external type, change it into a JavaObjectException instead of a NullValueException.  (Right now we assume every NullPointerException should be turned into a NullValueException.)

More on the second item: to see if caught ex was thrown from a Java ET, compare its top stack frame with the top of the EGL call stack.
Comment 2 Matt Heitz CLA 2012-06-13 15:28:04 EDT 
The second item is solved by Bug 382546 - Improve detection of NullValueExceptions.
