Usage of @Self and @TargetInstance when probing static methods

[jikuja]

I found this http://stackoverflow.com/a/24902885/776884 explaining that @self makes probes to match only non-static functions. Is this explained in documentation?

I found https://btrace.kenai.com/javadoc/dev/com/sun/btrace/annotations/Self.html : Marks a method parameter as the one that should contain *this* instance and https://btrace.kenai.com/javadoc/dev/com/sun/btrace/annotations/Kind.html#ENTRY (sic, javadocs should be updated) Self - the instance enclosing the declaring method or null if that method is null from javadocs.

Neither of those does give a strong hint about function match changes and I have no idea what null if that method is null means.

I did not fully test following but Kind.Call with @TargetInstance has similar problem: probe will match only non-static methods and current documentation has following note: TargetInstance - the target instance of the method call or null if the method is static
