Do you mean normal Java method resolution which is done for all methods native and Java, or do you mean some special "native helper address resolution" where you a priori know that method is native and normal Java resolution was successfully done for it already? I think in this case "native helper address resolution" would not perform any Java calls, it would be a simple lookup through native libraries loaded by the class loader which was used to load the class which owns the method where you want to inline a helper. -- Gregory Shimansky, Intel Middleware Products Division --------------------------------------------------------------------- Terms of use : http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/mailing.html To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
