Resolution - the process of dynamically determining concrete values from symbolic references in the runtime constant pool. I'm afraid it has nothing in common with what is going on in this stack.
JIT explicitly asks VM type_info_get_class, i.e. return class for type information of methods return type. VM has to load the class if it is not available yet. The loading can fail with exception. On 12/18/06, Mikhail Fursov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
BTW, sorry if I miss something here, but why do vm.classloader loads "a class" when JIT asks about type information only (Method_Desc, Class_Handle)? Is resolution not enough here? -- Mikhail Fursov
