accessing a file in dalvik directory from frameworks directory in android root

I was experimenting something with Android native code and it needs to access a file in dalvik/vm folder from a .cpp file in frameworks/base/core/jni ... I would like to know if this is even possible through #include or some other technique. I think #include may not be the right way to do it and wold like to know if my purpose can be somehow achieved.

Set Dalvik execution mode in /data/local.prop using Android

I tried to run Dalvik in portable mode by setting /data/local.prop as follows:

dalvik.vm.execution-mode = int:portable

But after I reboot the device (which is a Nexus 7), app_process (hosting zygote) still starts in jit mode.

However, if I run:

adb shell stop
adb shell setprop dalvik.vm.execution-mode int:portable
adb shell start

Then app_process will run in portable mode. Is /data/local.prop deprecated or something is missing here?
