Once Native Bridge is ready to use, we can have a look at what happens when an application loads a native library in a different processor architecture.
We know that, if we implement a native method in a shared library, we need to implement a JNI_OnLoad entry point, which is used to register native methods. The Java code needs to make a call to either System.load or System.loadLibrary to load this shared library. In the following table, it is the call stack from System.loadLibrary to JNI_OnLoad:
