Accessing parameters from a methodHandle

[Vladimir Ivanov]

Manas,

Can you elaborate what problem are you trying to solve?

It sounds like you want to iterate over all parameters of a compiled 
method in C2.

methodHandle is a Handle for Method* which an internal representation of 
a Java method. It doesn't provide any way to extract actual argument 
representation during compilation.

During parsing you can use GraphKit::method(), ciMethod::arg_size(), and 
GraphKit::argument(int i) to operate on arguments of a method being 
parsed. See opto/library_call.cpp for examples.

Best regards,
Vladimir Ivanov

However, this variable doesn’t match the actual number of parameters passed to the corresponding Java method. Any suggestions?
