I'm working on MethodHandle code in the JVM (for the JSR 292 RI). As
I relearn all the calling sequence paths in HotSpot, I'm putting out
notes on what I find. You might enjoy the HotSpotInternals wiki
pages I've added recently:
http://wikis.sun.com/display/HotSpotInternals/CallingSequences
http://wikis.sun.com/display/HotSpotInternals/StaticCalls
http://wikis.sun.com/display/HotSpotInternals/VirtualCalls
http://wikis.sun.com/display/HotSpotInternals/InterfaceCalls
As you learn your way around the mountain of code that is HotSpot, I
encourage you to write down your discoveries, while they are fresh to
you, on the HotSpotInternals wiki. Registration is free and easy.
In the present policy, a human being (such as me) has to add editor
privileges to your wiki id, but if you have something to contribute
to the wiki I will do this in a heartbeat. If you wish to collect
implementation notes into another place on the openjdk websites,
please let me know so I can cross-link to them.
Best wishes,
-- John
