HotSpot Hacking

[Bob Vandette]

Did you remember to add your method in the correct table that is used to register the natives (unsafe.cpp)?

static JNINativeMethod methods[] { ... }


The Unsafe native entrypoints are registered in unsafe.cpp in the function:

  JVM_ENTRY(void, JVM_RegisterUnsafeMethods(JNIEnv *env, jclass unsafecls))
