Newbie question: BytecodeInterpreter::run

[Mohit Gupta]

I am learning about OpenJDK internal working. Like any newbie this could be
very naive and broad question. I have started looking at
"BytecodeInterpreter::run" and it's call points. This further takes me to
CppInterpreter. After that I am having trouble locating how CppInterpreter
is initialized.

Basically I want to understand this simple java program

package abc.mycompany.com

public class Startup {
   public static void main(String[] args) .. {
        Startup.sum(100, 100);
   }

   public void sum(int a, int b) {
        int x = a + b;
   }
}

Understand that java compiler will compile into .class (bytecode). However
I am trying to understand how JVM gets to "main" and thereafter goes into
Bytecode interpretation.

Would it be possible for someone to point me in the right direction? Any
recommendations will be helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Mohit
