Calling java code from C/C++ code.

[Timothy Wall]

I'm not sure what you mean.  I'm using a java "main", e.g.

public class test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello, world");
    }
}


The C++ wrapper code looks simliar to what gcj generates as a
"main"wrapper, I load this object and the one from the above code:

extern const char **_Jv_Compiler_Properties;
extern void JvRunMain(struct Class*, int, char**);
static const char *props[] = { 0 |;
extern struct Class _CL_4test;
extern "C" int callable(void)
{
    _Jv_Compiler_Properties = props;
    JvRunMain (&_CL_4test, 0, 0);
    return 0;
}

So in effect, I'm invoking the java "main" (which is ok).  However, the
dlopen fails in the static initializers as previously described.

Seeing that the shared object never gets loaded, I don't see how the
class implementation would make a difference.
