Java implementation in C (maybe platform-specific)

Question

I've had a look at Ruby's implementation in C to learn more about it's object model and the way it implements object-oriented programming. I'd like to find something similar for Java. I understand that Java works very differently with the translation to bytecodes, the JVM and all the stuff.

Is there a source code (maybe in C) from which I can learn OOP concepts in Java (maybe for a particular implementation)? (I'm very interested for instance in how that implementation manages inheritance which is not specified by the standard)

According to this post https://community.oracle.com/message/6460990#6460990 the only part of the JVM that is written in c++ is the BootStrap Class Loader. — blasko, Aug 04 '15 at 12:35

Have look at OpenJDK for a start (http://openjdk.java.net/) and its source code at http://hg.openjdk.java.net/
