public @interface NativeBridge

Methods of a class that implements this interface are treated specially by the compilers:

• They are only called from C or C++ program
• The compiler will generate the necessary prolog to insert a glue stack frame to map from the native stack/register convention to RVM's convention
• It is an error to call these methods from Java
