Annotation Type DynamicBridge

@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Target(value=TYPE)
public @interface DynamicBridge

Methods of a class that implements this interface are treated specially by the compilers.

Instead of saving just the non-volatile registers used by the method into the register save area of the method's stackframe, the compiler generates code to save *all* GPR and FPR registers except GPR0, FPR0, JTOC, and FP.

Methods of a class that implement this interface may not return. (it is assumed that execution is resumed via a call to Magic.dynamicBridgeTo)
