Re: Groovy AOT compilation

I'll let Jochen answer that, I don't recall the reasons why it was a breaking change. I think part of the answer is that Groovy classes implement GroovyObject, but I miss the details, I'm no dynamic expert ;) 2017-05-09 8:34 GMT+02:00 Graeme Rocher : > Would it make sense to have the metaClass fi

Re: Groovy AOT compilation

Would it make sense to have the metaClass field of GroovyObject initialise lazily? In what circumstance would that be a breaking change? Concurrency? On Tue, May 9, 2017 at 8:25 AM, Cédric Champeau wrote: > The reason is that even with static compilation, constructors include > metaclass initiali

Re: Groovy AOT compilation

The reason is that even with static compilation, constructors include metaclass initialization. This is something that have been bothering me for a long time, and I wish we could rework that, but it's a behavioral breaking change (however, really unlikely to break things in real world). 2017-05-09

Re: Groovy AOT compilation

That would make sense. However apart of that there's still a lot of reflection behind the scene even when using StaticCompile. For example just replacing the println statement with a `new Hello()` in the previous snippet, I'm getting the following errors when trying to compile with the AOT compiler

Re: Groovy AOT compilation

That line was added to break a hard-dependency on the groovy-xml module by the core groovy module. With Java 9's "real" modules, we'd potentially want to rework that. I haven't really thought about what we might do instead but welcome to suggestions/ideas/PRs. Cheers, Paul. On Tue, May 9, 2017 a

Re: Groovy AOT compilation

Good question. I leave the answer to Groovy core developers, however as far as I've understood even when the code is statically compiled, Groovy still uses reflection in runtime helper methods. For example one of the first issue I've encountered it's raised by the following line in the InvokeHelper

RE: Groovy AOT compilation

I think a biggest question than AOT compatibility is why does compile static still need to do reflection? I thought that was the point was to disable it, especially for Android support…? Unless the issue is the metaclass generation, does compile static still generate metaclasses? Jason From: P

Emacs Groovy Mode

Anyone using the Emacs Groovy Mode from https://github.com/Groovy-Emacs -Modes/groovy-emacs-modes or MELPA almost certainly needs to take note, as I have likely broken your setup. First apologies for doing this, but there had to be a breaking change in order to get progress on all the things that
