[LLVMdev] [vmkit]Problems when modifying J3

[Julien Pagès]

Hi Harris,

I tested your patch and it works, so thanks :)

If anyone else wants to do this (add a field in class or vtable) : you must
pay attention as keeping the offsets correct in the vtable. You must also
change the base size of the virtual table object and add the field at the
correct position in JavaAOTCompiler (like in the patch).
