Experiments with C ABI calls

[Maurizio Cimadamore]

No, this is not expected.

If the native method handle is executed enough times, intrinsification
should kick in and you should get a direct native call (essentially).

The fact that you're seeing ProgrammableInvoker suggests that
intrinsification has not kicked in.

Which platform are you on? What is the native call you are trying?

Cheers
