Is there anyway to get some of the functionality of ObjectScope in JDK?
More specifically, is there an easy way to access a slot by index rather
than by compiled in name?
The reason I want to do this is that I'm in the middle of knocking up a
quick ASN.1/{BER,PER} compiler for Java; I'd like to be able to use a
table based approach for at least some types. In most C implementations,
the offset a given slot can be found through pointer hackery - in java,
this is not possible.
I guess I could always generate a method to set/get fields by index, but
this would have to be done for every single type, and is kind of icky -
is there another way that doesn't involve dynamic generation of VM code
for ClassLoader?
