Nov 30 implement JNI Array

 

Implement a char array print through JNI call.

 

Native method interface

/**
 * native method type
 * @param params : input and output 
 * @return       : > 0 n output has stored into params
 *               : = 0 don't have any output parameters. this meaning void method
 *               : < 0 method execute error
 */
typedef int16 (*native_method_t)(int32 params[]);

 

Array structure

 

struct reference_t
{
    union
    {
        struct class_file_t* clazz;
        int32 atype;
    } type;
    uint16 reference_counter;
    uint16 size;
    // 1 if is multi array
    int16 flags;
    int16 locks;
    union
    {
        int8 int8_value[1];
        uint8 uint8_value[1];
        int16 int16_value[1];
        uint16 uint16_value[1];
        int32 int32_value[1];
        uint32 uint32_value[1];

        int8* int8_pointer[1];
        uint8* uint8_pointer[1];
        int16* int16_pointer[1];
        uint16* uint16_pointer[1];
        int32* int32_pointer[1];
        uint32* uint32_pointer[1];
    } value;
};
