John: last time you and I spoke about this you said that you were going to start working on some core implementation details. Have you had time to look into that? If not - that's ok, I'll go ahead anyway, I just don't want to be duplicating too much of the effort.
I sent you my current sketches the other day; I hope they help. Feel free to ask me what I'm intending in them, or else what design alternative you favor.
Let's use the follow public page as a notebook on the project: http://wikis.sun.com/display/mlvm/InterfaceInjection This page also has information about how interfaces work: http://wikis.sun.com/display/HotSpotInternals/InterfaceCalls
If you have looked into it, I would love if you could share the material you have, in terms of source code or analytical documents. But don't feel the need to work on this now if you haven't before just because I'm starting this project - I'll be able to manage just fine on my own (Although I might drop you an e-mail or two with questions).
Basic idea is that each klass structure already includes (allocated inline) a 2-dimensional ragged table of its statically defined interfaces. In meth.patch I've rationalized this a little to prepare for your work. I put more extensive notes on the wiki page mentioned above.
Best wishes, -- John
