dynamically instrument the application class

[Thomas Wuerthinger]

Peng,

Graal only compiles methods whose invocation count is above a certain compilation threshold. When you manually enqueue a method at bootstrap time, you have to make sure that the class of the method is on the bootclasspath. If this is the case and the "methodname" is correct, the code snippet you write below should work.

However, I notice that the methods of HelloWorld class are not compiled by graal as the VMToCompilerImpl.compileMethod() does not report the compilation about any method from the Helloworld class. I tried to use the "enqueue(Class.forName("HelloWorld").getDeclaredMethod(methodname))" to force graal to recompile the method, just as the enqueue operations in the bootstrap method, but the graalVM complains that No method is found by the getDeclaredMethod.
