this isn't a remedy when you need the index in each iteration, but you can generate a loop over all elements of an array using iteratedLoop(), as illustrated by this test from LoopCombinatorTest: @Test public static void testIterateSum() throws Throwable { // Integer[] a = new Integer[]{1,2,3,4,5,6}; int sum = 0; for (int e : a) { sum += e; } return sum; => 21 MethodHandle loop = MethodHandles.iteratedLoop(Iterate.MH_sumIterator, Iterate.MH_sumInit, Iterate.MH_sumStep); assertEquals(Iterate.MT_sum, loop.type()); assertEquals(21, loop.invoke(new Integer[]{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6})); } ... where MH_sumIterator is a handle to this method: static Iterator<Integer> sumIterator(Integer[] a) { return Arrays.asList(a).iterator(); } Best, Michael -- <http://www.oracle.com/> Dr. Michael Haupt | Principal Member of Technical Staff Phone: +49 331 200 7277 | Fax: +49 331 200 7561 Oracle Java Platform Group | LangTools Team | Nashorn Oracle Deutschland B.V. & Co.
