-----------------------------------
Assignee: Eric Milles
> Attribute access on same statically compiled class should bypass
> ScriptBytecodeAdapter
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GROOVY-7700
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7700
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Compiler, Static compilation
> Affects Versions: 2.4.5
> Reporter: Christopher Smith
> Assignee: Eric Milles
> Priority: Minor
>
> In Java, it's not unusual to directly access fields of another instance of
> the same class, for example in {{equals}}. In writing an AST transformation,
> I found that an attribute expression accessing a (private) field on the same
> class is written out as a convoluted call through {{ScriptBytecodeAdapter}},
> which sends it through a roundabout trip through the metaclass:
> {code}
> Object localObject =
> null;ScriptBytecodeAdapter.setGroovyObjectField((SimpleEntity)ScriptBytecodeAdapter.castToType(localObject,
> SimpleEntity.class), OtherEntity.class, other, (String)"bar");
> {code}
> When the {{objectExpression}} of an attribute expression is on the same class
> as {{this}}, the compiler should use the trivial field access instruction, at
> least in static compilation mode.
