Java-class-file loader library in C

Question

Can you tell me what is the meaning of " Java-class-file loader library in C"?

It's a homework assignment and I am not sure how I should approach it.

Update: I just found out a link on github which exactly defines the topic but I still need some help to figure out what exactly this means?

Answer 1

I suppose it's about a C library which provides an API for loading Java .class files. This should be possible using JNI .

Answer 2

A few ideas:

• Compare what is done during compile time and runtime for java and c.
• Compare the concepts of dynamic linking LD_LIBRARY_PATH and CLASSPATH

Answer 3

这意味着用c编写的库能够加载java编译的类，即IOW java-class-files。
