But it is also stored in `Method::_i2i_entry` which is [used by c2i adapters](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/3ba156082b73c4a8e9d890a57a42fb68df2bf98f/src/hotspot/cpu/x86/sharedRuntime_x86_64.cpp#L748-L750). (Maybe too) long version: The interpreter has entries depending on the `MethodKind`. See `AbstractInterpreter::entry_for_kind()`. The entries are stored in `AbstractInterpreter::_entry_table`. In `MethodHandlesAdapterGenerator::generate()` the interpreter entries for method handle intrinsics MethodKinds are generated using the generator `MethodHandles::generate_method_handle_interpreter_entry()`. In `Method::link_method()` the entry points are set depending on the `MethodKind`. The interpreter entry (see above) for the method's `MethodKind` is looked up and stored in `Method::_i2i_entry` which is also [used by c2i adapters](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/3ba156082b73c4a8e9d890a57a42fb68df2bf98f/src/hotspot/cpu/x86/sharedRuntime_x86_64.cpp#L748-L750). So to me it looks as if the entry generated by `generate_method_handle_interpreter_entry()` can be reached coming from a compiled caller. The generator for ordinary methods is `TemplateInterpreterGenerator::generate_normal_entry()`. The entries it generates are surely reached by compiled callers. I might be missing something in the case of MH intrinsics but right now it looks to me as if the caller can be compiled too. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/12535
