----------------------------------
Summary: DgmConverter: avoid MethodType constants in the adapter
initialisers
Key: GROOVY-12388
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-12388
Project: Groovy
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Paul King
Assignee: Paul King
Involves: the generated dgm$N classes load their target handle with an ldc
MethodType, which D8 accepts only from API 28. Emitting a
MethodType.methodType(Class, Class[]) call instead brings the floor back to API
26, where indy starts.
Impact on normal usage: slightly larger adapter bytecode and a method call
instead of a constant-pool resolution in each adapter's static initialiser,
both negligible. The value is small too: Android 8 and 8.1 devices are around
one percent of the installed base, so this is the one I would skip.
