Enclosing class:: DynamicLinker

private static class DynamicLinker.DL_Helper
extends Object
extends Object

Helper class that does the real work of resolving method references and compiling a lazy method invocation. In separate class so that it doesn't implement DynamicBridge magic.

Constructor Summary
`private`	`DynamicLinker.DL_Helper()`

Method Summary
`(package private) static void`	`compileMethod(DynamicLink dynamicLink, RVMMethod targetMethod)` Compile (if necessary) targetMethod and patch the appropriate disaptch tables
`(package private) static DynamicLink`	`resolveDynamicInvocation()` Discover method reference to be invoked via dynamic bridge.
`(package private) static RVMMethod`	`resolveMethodRef(DynamicLink dynamicLink)` Resolve method ref into appropriate RVMMethod Taken: DynamicLink that describes call site.

Method Detail

resolveDynamicInvocation

static DynamicLink resolveDynamicInvocation()

Discover method reference to be invoked via dynamic bridge. Taken: nothing (call stack is examined to find invocation site) Returned: DynamicLink that describes call site.

resolveMethodRef

static RVMMethod resolveMethodRef(DynamicLink dynamicLink)

Resolve method ref into appropriate RVMMethod Taken: DynamicLink that describes call site. Returned: RVMMethod that should be invoked.

compileMethod

static void compileMethod(DynamicLink dynamicLink,
                          RVMMethod targetMethod)

Compile (if necessary) targetMethod and patch the appropriate disaptch tables

Parameters:: targetMethod - the RVMMethod to compile (if not already compiled)
