It's a nice goal. But it makes no sense to me to go beyond source
compatibility... for switching ABIs you'd normally have to recompile
everything anyway.
So if we can produce some typedefs and/or macros that solve the problem
with no additional runtime overhead, I'd be happy... I don't know
about others but reflection performance (and JNI performance, to a lesser
degree) is critical to my app. I'd hate to introduce another function
call in the path.
I plan to use my next spare coding opportunity to revise the natMethod.cc
patch.
