Some of this is/was used in some GNU Classpath JNI libraries.
Unfortunately they are not very well documented. For the curious here
are some references:

GNU Classpath Hacker Guide:
8.2 Utility Classes  Reusing Software
http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/docs/hacking.html#SEC12
8.3 Robustness  Writing Robust Software

Hacking on the VM Interface

Forgotten History

VMI, NSA, JCL (libclasspath)
http://www.klomp.org/mark/classpath/slides/img3.html

But that is all documentation except for the header files and source
code itself I am afraid.

Cheers,

Mark
