There might be more info on Per's web page; I'm not sure.
You can always read the source and get every detail.

I'm not sure I really understand the question.
You can connect C++ code to the runtime using native methods. There
is a paper on this on the web site ("Writing native Java methods in
natural C++" discusses interaction between Java and C++").
For C code, we will probably eventually support JNI. Or you can write
C++ methods that then call the C code.
