Object.getClass() (was: Re: Vmxxx method vs. native method)

[Steven Augart]

If Object.getClass() were to forward to VMObject then I could probably 
 quickly implement VMObject in Jikes RVM and be done with yet another 
private version of an important system class.  We have a Java 
implementation of Object.getClass(), so native is not appropriate for 
our system.

Just revisiting the split between using a VMxxx method for XXX to forward to
versus declaring a native method. I thought, from past discussions the
intent was to use VMxxx methods in preference to native methods. I just
noticed that Object.getClass is still a native method rather than being a
VMObject method (or even VMClass).
