Hi, Weldon:
If you have a built Harmony classlib, you can find the doc in
HarmonyRoot/doc/vm_doc/html/group__Port.html or other htmls in the
directory.

Hmmm... Interesting idea you have. Basically the idea is to rewrite the
virtual function table _before_ any of the functions are used. This makes
much more sense than the way drlvm currently boots up. By the way, is
there
any documentation that says what you are suggesting? In other words, was
portlib specifically designed to do what you suggest?
