Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer instructions are provided for inlining native functions into compiled Java code. A conversion engine is provided by the present invention for converting the intermediate representation of native functions to the just-in-time (JIT) compiler's intermediate representation. With the converted intermediate representation, an inliner recursively inlines the converted JIT compiler's intermediate representation into the native callsite to remove the need of invoking the native function and subsequent native calls made by the function. The inlining process continues until either a call to an opaque function is encountered or until a JIT compiler intermediate representation growth limits are reached. The inliner also replaces calls to most native functions that are non-inlineable or opaque with calls to synthesized native functions that provide access to native libraries containing implementations of the original non-inlineable calls.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for transforming JAVA Native Interface function calls to constants, internal just-in-time (JIT) compiler operations or simpler intermediate representation. A compiler generates plurality of intermediate representations for a plurality of native interface function calls. During inlining of native code, matching is performed on each native function call (against this list) and a list of native interface function calls is generated. For each native interface function call, a (JIT) call transformer attempts to replace the native interface function call with a constant, internal JIT compiler operation or a simpler intermediate representation depending on the type of native interface function call.
