Hi all,
I started implementing an invokedynamic port of Groovy, but I have two
"complex" questions early on:
(1) Groovy method selection depends on runtime types. This seems to mean
that I need a two step approach for my methods. On the first step I let
the bootstrap return a method handle, that will do the method selection.
In the second step I will replace the target in the call site, with the
now selected method. The result is that only on the second invocation
the real target method will be called directly and on the first
invocation this will happen through the selector. Is that right? Does
this also mean that if my target is for example Class.forName, that it
may use a different class loader on the next invocation? (first time the
one of the class containing my method selector method, second time the
class doing the method call originally)
(2) for convenience I currently use MethodHandle#asType a lot... is that
good practice or better to be avoided?
bye blackdrag
