The next EG Zoom meeting is Wednesday at 4pm UTC (9am PDT, 12pm EDT). Topics to discuss:
"Draft JVMS changes for Primitive Objects (JEP 401)": I shared a revised JVM spec for JEP 401. Some new, tentative ideas here: - "Inlinable reference type" terminology - An ACC_PRIM_SUPER flag - An ACC_ATOMIC flag (formalizing the NonTearable interface) - Support for L descriptors in CONSTANT_Class - A JavaFlags attribute for extra language-only flags - Details for implementing IdentityObject/PrimitiveObject "Revisiting default values": Kevin weighed in on this old thread with some thoughts on nullable primitive value types and default values "JEP 401 -- reflection and class literals": Brian shared some additional thoughts on Class objects and class literals, suggesting we de-emphasize type-modeling Class objects
