BTW, I was just at ALS2000, and I was asked about GCJ's support for
dynamically loading Java bytecodes. I know this has been thought
about, but I promised to pass along the feature request.
It's already there! The system class loader creates vtables on the fly
with pointers to dynamically generated closures. The closures invoke the
interpreter with the appropriate bytecode so you can freely mix compiled
and interpreted classes.
The interpreter currently only works on IA-32 and IA-64 systems. All
that's needed to support other architectures is to implement the target
dependent closure interface in libffi. Contributions welcome! :-)
