It's implemented in `SystemDictionary::find_method_handle_intrinsic()` I think. I agree that it will be ok to modify r13 as you suggested. Maybe explaining why we never reach here coming from a c2i adapter: because native wrappers are generated eagerly in `SystemDictionary::find_method_handle_intrinsic()` unless -Xint is given but then the caller cannot be compiled. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/12535
