JEP 348 provides a way to replace a method call with a ldc/indy,
so it's another way to implement JEP 303 (the intrinsification part) given that
an Intrinsics. (resp a ldc.invokedynamic) is just a method annotated with both
PolymorphicSignature and CompilerIntrinsicCandidate.
class Intrinsics {
@CompilerIntrinsicCandidate
@PolymorphicSignature
public static Object invokedynamic(BootstrapSpecifier indy, Object... args)
{ return null; }
}
So in my opinion, we should withdraw JEP 303, adds a new JEP only about the
constant propagation + mirroring of ConstantDesc and add Intrinsics.ldc and
Intrinsic.invokedynamic as part of JEP 348.
