Peter,
Yes, it's a known problem [1].
There are other caches (in MethodTypeForm, for example), which
shouldn't retain their elements.
Hi Vladimir,
I was tempted to see what it would take to use weakly referenced
LambdaForms from cache entries (LambdaFormEditor.Transform objects).
This is what I came up with:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~plevart/misc/LambdaFormEditor.WeakCache/webrev.01/
In this modification on top of your patch, a reference to LambdaForm
from Transform is not a final field any more (WeakReference has a normal
field), so I had to change LambdaForm.transformCacheto be volatile field
to enable safe publication of Transform objects and transiently
LambdaForm objects. I also used ordered writes with volatile reads for
Transform[] array elements where necessary. CHM already does what's
necessary. If LambdaForm objects are unsafe-publication-tolerable, this
can be simplified.
I have made a little effort to re-use slots occupied by cleared
Transform objects, but nothing fancy like using ReferenceQueue(s) or
such, since there would have to be a queue per LambdaForm and this would
bring some overhead with it. Transform objects are very compact (even
when they extend a WeakReference) and majority of heap is released by
free-ing weakly reachable LambdaForm objects which can be quite big and
deep sometimes.
A cache forms a tree of LambdaForm objects. Child LFs are derived from
base (parent) LFs. parent -> child references are weak, but I added
child -> parent references which are strong. If there is a strong
reference to some cached LF from the application, the whole path leading
from the root LF to the cached LF is kept alive this way, so that any
code that wishes to follow that path can get to the cached LF.
So do you think that cached LambdaForm(s) are so general that they are
better cached for the life of JVM even in long-running application
servers that re-deploy apps on the fly and using WeakReference(s) is not
necessary?

Hi Vladimir,
I'm sure you and John have thought about it through, but I'll ask
anyway. Are cached LambdaForms going to stay around forever? What about
using a WeakReference<LambdaForm> (LambdaFormEditor.Transform could
extend WeakReference). This way unused LambdaForms would get GCed.

LambdaFormEditor provides an API to transform LambdaForms. Deriving
new
LambdaForms from a base one allows to cache and reuse results of
repeated transformations.
BMH binding is rewritten to use LambdaFormEditor.
Testing: jdk/java/lang/invoke, jdk/java/util/streams, nashorn,
octane w/
"-ea -esa" and COMPILE_THRESHOLD={0,30}.
