is it dumb to suggest that someone who understands c++ (or other compiled oo language) would/could write assembler in this way? just from reading the description (things like variable locations of method tables, various registers for "this", and lack of memory management) it sounds like it could be handwritten, but structured in a similar way to c++.
The disassembly snippet looks like typical C/assembly handcrafted object system without real classes, but responses by Kaspersky guys in blog comments seem to imply that it uses these objects even in places where it is highly impractical when writing code manually. So it's possibly C/assembly written by typical hardcore Java programmer, but I find that highly unlikely.
