> Indy: casting a GroovyObject calls getMetaClass() on the value being cast
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GROOVY-12557
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-12557
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 4.0.33, 5.1.3, 6.0.0
> Reporter: James Daugherty
> Priority: Major
>
> With invokedynamic, a cast of a {{GroovyObject}} that already has the target
> type, such as {{Widget widget = value}}, calls {{value.getMetaClass()}}: once
> to build the call site's guard and again on each call through it. With
> classic call sites the same cast calls nothing on the value.
> That is observable whenever {{getMetaClass()}} is not a plain field read. A
> Spring class-based (CGLIB) proxy of a Groovy class forwards every public
> method, {{getMetaClass()}} included, to its target. For a step-, job-,
> request- or session-scoped bean the target exists only while the scope is
> active, so merely assigning the proxy to a typed variable outside the scope
> fails:
> {noformat}
> org.springframework.beans.factory.support.ScopeNotActiveException: Error
> creating bean with name 'scopedTarget.widget': Scope 'step' is not active for
> the current thread

> {noformat}
> A Grails application moving from classic call sites to invokedynamic (the
> Grails 9 default) meets this in code that handles scoped proxies dynamically.
> *Reproducer:*
> https://github.com/jdaugherty/groovy-indy-cast-getmetaclass-reproducer
> ({{./run.sh 4.0.33 5.1.3 6.0.0}}). With indy the cast {{Watched typed =
> value}} makes 2 {{getMetaClass()}} calls on the value and fails when
> {{getMetaClass()}} throws; with classic call sites it makes none. Reproduced
> on 4.0.33, 5.1.3 and 6.0.0.
> *Cause:* {{Selector.CastSelector.castAndSetGuards()}} reuses
> {{MethodSelector.setGuards(args[0])}}, which calls {{getMetaClass()}} on a
> {{GroovyObject}} receiver to bind a {{SAME_MC}} guard. Only a cast to boolean
> selects a method ({{asBoolean}}) through the metaclass; every other cast is
> decided by the class of the value, which the argument guards and the class
> SwitchPoint already cover.
> *Proposed fix:* keep the receiver metaclass guard for the {{asBoolean}} path
> only, so a cast decided by the value's class never calls into the value, as
> with classic call sites. A patch with tests follows as a pull request against
> master, with backports for the 6.0.x and 5.1.x lines.
