Abstract
A method and system of processing within a Java Virtual Machine on a computer system, a native function call instruction of a dynamic parameter set type and contained in a Java byte code application. The method comprises the steps of; interpreting the byte code representing a native function call instruction of the dynamic parameter set type; storing the parameters of the variable parameter set in an array; using the computer system to process the native function call as a fixed parameter set type using the array as the fixed parameter set. Before the function is called the computer system transfers the parameters from the array to a stack used by the native function.
