bootClassPath

when the first boot classfile core.jar is loaded, the file will be added to argv for the next loading classfile.
d:\linux\linuxkernel\WORKING_DIRECTORY\android-omap-20111108-gingerbread\dalvik\vm\analysis\DexPrepare.c
        for (cpe = gDvm.bootClassPath; cpe->ptr != NULL; cpe++) {
            argv[curArg++] = cpe->fileName;
        }


then the loaded classfiles will be extracted in:
d:\linux\linuxkernel\WORKING_DIRECTORY\android-omap-20111108-gingerbread\dalvik\dexopt\OptMain.c
static int fromDex(int argc, char* const argv[])
{
    if (--argc == 0) {
        bootClassPath = strdup("");
    } else {
...
        cp = bootClassPath = (char*) malloc(bcpLen +1);
...
    if (dvmPrepForDexOpt(bootClassPath, dexOptMode, verifyMode, flags) != 0) {
        LOGE("VM init failed\n");
        goto bail;
    }
d:\linux\linuxkernel\WORKING_DIRECTORY\android-omap-20111108-gingerbread\dalvik\vm\Init.c
int dvmPrepForDexOpt(const char* bootClassPath, DexOptimizerMode dexOptMode,
    DexClassVerifyMode verifyMode, int dexoptFlags)
{
    free(gDvm.bootClassPathStr);
    gDvm.bootClassPathStr = strdup(bootClassPath);
    if (!dvmClassStartup())
        goto fail;
d:\linux\linuxkernel\WORKING_DIRECTORY\android-omap-20111108-gingerbread\dalvik\vm\oo\Class.c
bool dvmClassStartup(void)
{
    gDvm.loadedClasses =
        dvmHashTableCreate(256, (HashFreeFunc) dvmFreeClassInnards);
    processClassPath(gDvm.bootClassPathStr, true);
