There is also a helper function that wraps this, see JNU_GetStaticFieldByName. Not sure if you have that available in libjli though. There are many examples for both patterns. I also would consider just declaring two booleans here, isStatic and hasArgs, which that would be a bit clearer to read instead of combining both into a single flag variable, and no need to keep flag values synced across java/C. ------------- PR Review: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/18786#pullrequestreview-2002891641 PR Review Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/18786#discussion_r1566896963
