Yes - this is exactly the kind of thing required for efficient
invocation of interpreted code in a compiled environment. The
ClassLoader would create vtables on the fly and populate them with
pointers to dynamically created stubs.
It sounds like GFFI does more than just stub creation. Is there any
overlap between GFFI and libffi? http://sourceware.cygnus.com/libffi
Is GFFI available anywhere?
