The point of making symbolic references the heart of Oracle’s case
is because Oracle argues that Android relies on symbolic reference resolution to
run faster. Lin

I sure hope their case is about a lot more than that. The USPTO
couldn't find prior art for using passing by reference to speed up execution?
There better be a lot more here or we can just move onto phase 3.

I think that the patent is specifically about converting the symbolic references
to pointers at execution time, and Google has already explained that Android
doesn't do that. When java bytecode is converted into Dalvik bytecode the the
symbolic references are converted to pointers, so there are no symbolic
references in the Dalvik bytecode at execution time to be converted.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
