Interpreted languages and virtual machines are all well and good, but a new version of C++ signals renewed interest in old-fashioned native binaries.

JNI (Java Native Interface) is a framework that allows Java code running on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to interact with applications or libraries written in other programming languages like C, C++ ...

It's intended to be used alongside Java to code individual parts of programs that require existing C libraries or higher performance. JNI is used as the bridge between Java and native code.

As native C++ code depends on the platform it runs on, you need to modify your build process and java code (native library name in java) to make it work on the platform.

C++ precompiled headers are compiler- and platform-specific. And C++ requires a large amount of source to be shipped in order to compile against it. Java defers platform-specific stuff to the runtime.

JEP 454 represents a significant step forward for Java, providing a modern, efficient and safe way to interact with native code and memory. By simplifying the integration process and enhancing safety, ...

Well, I realized that my C++ code had some global references to the original JNIEnv, so I thought adding DeleteGlobalRef before the function return would fix the problem.

The C language has been a programming staple for decades. Here’s how it stacks up against C++, Java, C#, Go, Rust, Python, and the newest kid on the block—Carbon.
