Abstract
This paper presents a technique for back-patching instructions in an SMP environment. This technique is used by the Jalapeno virtual machine to support dynamic class loading in Java. There is a small runtime overhead the first time a back-patch site is executed. Thereafter, it executes at the same speed as equivalent sites not requiring back-patching
