Abstract

A method and apparatus for a native method call. The method comprises: generating, in response to a native method call-associated event, a template copy from a generic template for processing the native method call; filling information required for processing the native method call in corresponding locations in the template copy; and changing a code execution flow to execute the template copy. When a native method is called, the native method is processed by dynamically inserting the template copy in the execution path at the assembly level.
