I believe that was what jextract generated in the EA we shipped before
last September, yes. The "new" jextract we started to ship in recent EA
builds is simpler, and more direct - but the API it generates is quite
different from what it used to be - e.g. more low level (jextract now
is a thin wrapper around the VarHandle/MethodHandle layer - see [1]).
