Pull request overview

Note

Copilot was unable to run its full agentic suite in this review.

Adds a new integration-style JFR test to validate that stack traces are (not) marked truncated depending on whether the bottom Java frame is a recognized thread entry point, along with the supporting workload and clarifying stack-frame ordering docs.

Changes:

• Added EntryFrameTest to assert truncation behavior for known entry points vs non-entry frames under shallow jstackdepth.
• Extended ExternalLauncher with an entry-frames workload that burns CPU on three different thread entry paths.
• Clarified JfrStackTrace.frames() Javadoc to document actual frame ordering as written by Recording::writeStackTraces.

Reviewed changes

Copilot reviewed 3 out of 3 changed files in this pull request and generated 4 comments.

File	Description
ddprof-test/src/test/java/com/datadoghq/profiler/jfr/EntryFrameTest.java	New test validating truncated semantics by bottom frame across multiple entry points and a negative control.
ddprof-test/src/test/java/com/datadoghq/profiler/JfrStackTrace.java	Updates documentation to match actual frame ordering used by the new test logic.
ddprof-test/src/test/java/com/datadoghq/profiler/ExternalLauncher.java	Adds an entry-frames workload to generate samples rooted at specific entry frames for the new test.
