Is it possible to obtain the program counter (PC) register values of a running Java application?

Answer 1

It depends on how you want to go about it. For example, if via the JVM Tool Interface, there is an exposed function named GetFrameLocation. This should be equivalent to the program counter.

jvmtiEnv *penv;
...
jmethodID cur_method;
jlocation cur_loc;
(*penv)->GetFrameLocation(0, 0, &cur_method, &cur_loc);
