IndyInterface (Groovy 4.0.15)

Package: org.codehaus.groovy.vmplugin.v8

## [Java] Class IndyInterface

- org.codehaus.groovy.vmplugin.v8.IndyInterface

-     public class IndyInterface
      extends Object

  Bytecode level interface for bootstrap methods used by invokedynamic. This class provides a logging ability by using the boolean system property groovy.indy.logging. Other than that this class contains the interfacing methods with bytecode for invokedynamic as well as some helper methods and classes.

- - ### Field Detail

    - #### protected static final Logger LOG

      Logger

    - #### protected static final boolean LOG_ENABLED

      boolean to indicate if logging for indy is enabled

    - #### public static final MethodHandles.Lookup LOOKUP

      LOOKUP constant used for example in unreflect calls

    - #### public static final int SAFE_NAVIGATION

      flags for method and property calls

    - #### protected static SwitchPoint switchPoint

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### public static CallSite bootstrap(MethodHandles.Lookup caller, String callType, MethodType type, String name, int flags)

      bootstrap method for method calls from Groovy compiled code with indy enabled. This method gets a flags parameter which uses the following encoding:

      - {
        value:
          #SAFE_NAVIGATION} is the flag value for safe navigation see SAFE_NAVIGATION
      - {@value #THIS_CALL} is the flag value for a call on this see THIS_CALL
      Parameters:
        `caller` - - the caller
        `callType` - - the type of the call
        `type` - - the call site type
        `name` - - the real method name
        `flags` - - call flags
      Returns:
        the produced CallSite
      Since:
        Groovy 2.1.0

    - #### public static Object fromCache(MutableCallSite callSite, Class<?> sender, String methodName, int callID, Boolean safeNavigation, Boolean thisCall, Boolean spreadCall, Object dummyReceiver, Object[] arguments)

      Get the cached methodhandle. if the related methodhandle is not found in the inline cache, cache and return it.

    - #### protected static void invalidateSwitchPoints()

      Callback for constant metaclass update change

    - #### protected static MethodHandle makeFallBack(MutableCallSite mc, Class<?> sender, String name, int callID, MethodType type, boolean safeNavigation, boolean thisCall, boolean spreadCall)

      Makes a fallback method for an invalidated method selection

    - #### public static Object selectMethod(MutableCallSite callSite, Class<?> sender, String methodName, int callID, Boolean safeNavigation, Boolean thisCall, Boolean spreadCall, Object dummyReceiver, Object[] arguments)

      Core method for indy method selection using runtime types.
