duke@435 25 // During the development of the JDK 1.4 reflection implementation
duke@435 26 // based on dynamic bytecode generation, it was hoped that the bulk of
duke@435 27 // the native code for reflection could be removed. Unfortunately
duke@435 28 // there is currently a significant cost associated with loading the
duke@435 29 // stub classes which impacts startup time. Until this cost can be
duke@435 30 // reduced, the JVM entry points JVM_InvokeMethod and
duke@435 31 // JVM_NewInstanceFromConstructor are still needed; these and their
duke@435 32 // dependents currently constitute the bulk of the native code for
duke@435 33 // reflection. If this cost is reduced in the future, the
duke@435 34 // NativeMethodAccessorImpl and NativeConstructorAccessorImpl classes
duke@435 35 // can be removed from sun.reflect and all of the code guarded by this
duke@435 36 // flag removed from the product build. (Non-product builds,
duke@435 37 // specifically the "optimized" target, would retain the code so they
duke@435 38 // could be dropped into earlier JDKs for comparative benchmarking.)
