There are 2 cases.
For a call from a compiled class (i.e. one compiled with -fjni), the
compiler emits a small stub that looks up the user's JNI function,
marshals the arguments, sets up the JNI stack frame, and makes the
call. See gcc/java/expr.c:build_jni_stub().
For methods in an interpreted class something similar happens at
runtime, using libffi. See libjava/jni.cc:_Jv_JNIMethod::call().
for (int i = 0; i < arg_types->length; ++i)
{
values[i].j = 0; // Clean garbage out of the union so that buggy
JNI code looking for jint where it should be looking for jboolean
will work.

His idea is to clear the argument buffer before marshaling arguments
into it, thus ensuring that unused bits are all '0'.
