No, unless we run into technical problems or fundamental security hazards, the JVM-level functionality should be able to ignore access bits. The access checking will be done at MH creation, as carefully as necessary, but after that point all MHs are created equal. >> For convenient browsing and review, I have posted the javadoc >> extracted from the current sources here: >> >> http://webrev.invokedynamic.info/jrose/6655638.meth.jdoc/ >> >> This API is not yet official.

But it is a very natural feature, from the JVM perspective. -- John _______________________________________________ mlvm-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo/mlvm-dev
