getCharsCritical

The semantics of this function is similar to getChars function. If possible, the VM returns a pointer to string elements; otherwise, a copy is made. However, there are significant restrictions on how these functions can be used. In a code segment enclosed by getCharsCritical/releaseCharsCritical calls, the native code must not issue arbitrary JNI calls, or cause the current thread to block.

The restrictions on getCharsCritical/releaseCharsCritical are similar to those on getElementsCritical/releaseElementsCritical.
