JVMPI = Java Virtual Machine Profiler Interface ??

 Hello everybody !
 does JVMPI (like in name of this header-file jvmpi.h) stand for Java
Virtual Machine Profiler Interface ?
In my student research project, I hack ;-) now in GCJ-Sources, and try to
understand, but there're still many unclear details ...
also these :
JV_HASH_SYNCHRONIZATION can only be used with Boehm-GC ?
/usr/src/gcc/libjava/java/lang/natObject.cc : line 269
.......
#else /* JV_HASH_SYNCHRONIZATION */
// FIXME: We shouldn't be calling GC_register_finalizer directly.
#ifndef HAVE_BOEHM_GC
# error Hash synchronization currently requires boehm-gc
// That's actually a bit of a lie: It should also work with the null GC,
// probably even better than the alternative.
// To really support alternate GCs here, we would need to widen the
// interface to finalization, since we sometimes have to register a
// second finalizer for an object that already has one.
// We might also want to move the GC interface to a .h file, since
// the number of procedure call levels involved in some of these
// operations is already ridiculous, and would become worse if we
// went through the proper intermediaries.
#else
# include "gc.h"
#endif
.....
and how about Null GC (implemented in nogc.cc) ?, for what was it thought
? if each time we can use only one GC (?) , like I see in source codes ..
Thanks in advance for (short!) answers ;-)
(I hofe the authors of these codes are still active in this mailing list
;-b )
