Sorry if I lost track of the discussion, but when the proposal of an
abstract class for virtual machine data came up, I thought that one of
the reasons for this boxing was the portability to virtual machines of
any kind. A byte array approach would have performance and design
implications not for JNI-based implementations, but for more exotic VMs
which do not have any native pointers at all (IKVM?).
Also, is this still about the Class.vmData slot? I note that the
proposed java.nio patch already uses a RawData class.
