You raised totally valid question.

I marked MethodHandleImpl.prepend with @Hidden annotation because it
is internal implementation detail of JSR292.

You are right that normally a callee can't see it on stack. *But it's
possible to observe it when stack trace is queried from a separate
thread. *

Is this good or bad? It enables tools to see it (for example sampling
profilers, etc...).
For the purposes of sampling profilers (and other monitoring tools) @Hidden should be completely ignored. These tools should use appropriate API to get the data.

I looked into the code and @Hidden has even less effect than I thought initially. It affects very limited set of cases - only users of JVM_FillInStackTrace (when filling exception's stack trace, Thread.dumpStack()). Calls to Thread.getStackTrace() from a separate thread omit stack trace filtering.

So all you're achieving by annotating prepend() method is that any exception stack trace, in case it is thrown inside the prepend() method, will hide where it was thrown from. In case all LambdaForm frames leading to the prepend() method were also hidden, the exception would appear to be thrown from the invocation of the MH...

There's not much value in it in this particular case, but I decided to
reduce possible noise.

Hi,

Excuse my ignorant question: What is the purpose of @LambdaForm.Hidden
annotation?

I suspect it has to do with hiding the call frames in stack traces that
are part of LambdaForm invocation chain. In this case, method:

     private static Object[] prepend(Object elem, Object[] array)

in MethodHandleImpl need not be annotated with this annotation, since
it's call frame is not on stack when one of the target methods is
executed. It's just a function used to calculate the argument of the
call. In fact, if prepend() ever throws exception (NPE in case array is
null?), It would be preferable that it's call frame is visible in the
stack trace.

Am I right or am I just talking nonsense?

Chris, thanks for the review.

John suggested an elegant way to fix the problem - use asFixedArity.

I have to revert a cleanup I did for 8027827.
MethodHandle.invokeWithArguments (and generic invocation) has
unpleasant
peculiarity in behavior when used with VarargsCollector. So,
unfortunately, invokeWithArguments is not an option there.

Looking at the API (excerpts from javadoc [1] [2]), the following
condition doesn't hold in that case:
   "trailing parameter type of the caller is a reference type
identical
to or assignable to the trailing parameter type of the adapter".

Example:
   target.invokeWithArguments((Object[])args)
   =>
   target.invoke((Object)o1,(Object)o2,(Object)o3)
   =/>
   target.invokeExact((Object)o1, (Object)o2, (Object[])o3)

because Object !<: Object[].

The fix is to skip unnecessary conversion when invoking a method
handle
and just do a pairwise type conversion.

Testing: failing test case, nashorn w/ experimental features
(octane)

Thanks!

Best regards,
Vladimir Ivanov

[1] MethodHandle.invokeWithArguments
"Performs a variable arity invocation, ..., as if via an inexact
invoke
from a call site which mentions only the type Object, and whose
arity is
the length of the argument array."

[2] MethodHandle.asVarargsCollector
"When called with plain, inexact invoke, if the caller type is the
same
as the adapter, the adapter invokes the target as with invokeExact.
(This is the normal behavior for invoke when types match.)

Otherwise, if the caller and adapter arity are the same, and the
trailing parameter type of the caller is a reference type
identical to
or assignable to the trailing parameter type of the adapter, the
arguments and return values are converted pairwise, as if by
asType on a
fixed arity method handle.

Otherwise, the arities differ, or the adapter's trailing parameter
type
is not assignable from the corresponding caller type. In this
case, the
adapter replaces all trailing arguments from the original trailing
argument position onward, by a new array of type arrayType, whose
elements comprise (in order) the replaced arguments."
