It is the app writers using dx and dexopt in the JDK that might be liable. Those
in the US, that is. Those who actually initialise arrays. They might be hard to
pin down.
There are no symbolic references in Dalvik machine code instructions, so '104 is
irrelevant.
The app users who download and 'install' the apps use dexopt. Only those that
initialise arrays might use the patented invention. That is, those in the US
when they use the method. That could be hard to pin down.
It's not a protectable method outside of the US. There will be boat-trips
outside of US territorial waters to allow folk to install their Android apps!
dexopt is not an infringing machine. I could demonstrate why, but folk are
already bored with my interminable comments.
