Let me clarify that a bit..
Support I have a C program that calls a shared-library function with signature
'void speak(char *words)'. speak() is a simple C function compiled as into a
shared-library.
Now suppose I write this function in a Java class, and create a shared library
from it.
class Person
{
 public void speak(String words)
 {
 System.out.println(words);
 }
}
How would the originating C program call upon the Java version of 'speak()'?
