Getting closer to running Smallalk on Java. We are at the point of

1% of the
classes would be added or replaced. We were thinking of doing the
class creation on
demand (during bootstrap) but could do it all at once as well.
We could use normal classes with one class loader per class, one
global class loader and
some naming convention, or John's anonymous class loader (using unsafe).
One global classloader means no reloading.
One classloader by class is Ok. Anonymous classloader is faster and
consumes less memory but breaks this invariant:
Class.forName(clazz.getName()) == clazz
which can be used by existing code (by example reflection invocation
doesn't work).
In PHP.reboot which generates several classes for one method (I do code
specialization),
I use an anonymous classloader if available or one classloader by class
otherwise.
Any suggestions?
thanks
