30 /**
31  * A point within the executing code of the target VM.
32  * Locations are used to identify the current position of
33  * a suspended thread (analogous to an instruction pointer or
34  * program counter register in native programs). They are also used
35  * to identify the position at which to set a breakpoint.
36  * <p>
37  * The availability of a line number for a location will
38  * depend on the level of debugging information available from the
39  * target VM.
40  * <p>
41  * Several mirror interfaces have locations. Each such mirror
42  * extends a {@link Locatable} interface.
43  * <p>
44  * <a name="strata"><b>Strata</b></a>
45  * <p>
46  * The source information for a Location is dependent on the
47  * <i>stratum</i> which is used. A stratum is a source code
48  * level within a sequence of translations.  For example,
49  * say the baz program is written in the programming language
50  * "Foo" then translated to the language "Bar" and finally
51  * translated into the Java programming language.  The
52  * Java programming language stratum is named
53  * <code>"Java"</code>, let's say the other strata are named
54  * "Foo" and "Bar".  A given location (as viewed by the
55  * {@link #sourceName()} and {@link #lineNumber()} methods)
56  * might be at line 14 of "baz.foo" in the <code>"Foo"</code>
57  * stratum, line 23 of "baz.bar" in the <code>"Bar"</code>
58  * stratum and line 71 of the <code>"Java"</code> stratum.
59  * Note that while the Java programming language may have
60  * only one source file for a reference type, this restriction
61  * does not apply to other strata - thus each Location should
62  * be consulted to determine its source path.
63  * Queries which do not specify a stratum
64  * ({@link #sourceName()}, {@link #sourcePath()} and
65  * {@link #lineNumber()}) use the VM's default stratum
66  * ({@link VirtualMachine#getDefaultStratum()}).
67  * If the specified stratum (whether explicitly specified
68  * by a method parameter or implicitly as the VM's default)
69  * is <code>null</code> or is not available in the declaring
70  * type, the declaring type's default stratum is used
71  * ({@link #declaringType()}.{@link ReferenceType#defaultStratum()
72  * defaultStratum()}).  Note that in the normal case, of code
73  * that originates as Java programming language source, there
74  * will be only one stratum (<code>"Java"</code>) and it will be
75  * returned as the default.  To determine the available strata
76  * use {@link ReferenceType#availableStrata()}.
