Hi, I want to share some news and information about the javaflow development, in cases that someone want to step in. I want also prevent a one-man show.
Okay, the theory behind the introduction of continuation within java is plain simple. Store and restore stack and local variables in cases of interruption of the continuation. But the devil lies in detail. The problem are uninitialized objects, means the object, which are created by the new operator, but the constructor isn't invoked. So, in the theory continuation can be interrupted between the "new" and the invocation of the constructor, for example. Integer i = Integer(sendPageAndGetNumber()); -> new Integer dup invoke sendPageAndGetNumber() invoke Integer() store These uninitialized object can't stored into the continuation, because they are uninitialzed :-/ This causes some headaches. The newest example for brainfuck is Class clazz = MyClass.class; If somebody is interested, Stephan *grmpf#!?
