[rvm-research] Inserting Assembly into Jikes

Hello,

My name is Claire, and I'm part of a team of students from Harvey Mudd
College.

We are working with Jikes RVM and need to insert a new assembly instruction
directly into the host machine--similar to calling asm
goto("(instruction)") in C. I've looked at the Jikes source code and I
suspect the magic functions and the emit(instruction) functions in the
Assembler file are what I'm looking for, but I'm unclear on how they work
and whether they do what I want. Can you help?

We literally want a faster equivalent of using JNI to insert C, which
inserts assembly.

Additionally, when I say the instruction we want to insert is "new"--it is
not an instruction that Jikes already implements, because it's unique to a
new line of Intel hardware.

Thanks in advance!
Claire
