David Costanzo commented on JEXL-343:
-------------------------------------
I removed a bogus section from the description about most of my program calling
zero-parameter methods as was as my baseless claim that MethodKey.isVarArgs()
wasn't written for performance. I subsequently determined that this is not
true, just that it calls such methods a lot.

So it might be that Method.isVarArgs() could include this

> Key: JEXL-343
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JEXL-343
> Project: Commons JEXL
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 3.1
> Environment: jdk-11.0.5_10-hotspot, GNU/Linux
> Reporter: David Costanzo
> Priority: Minor
>
> When inspecting slow performance of my JEXL-enabled application, I came
> across a strange line in {{MethodExecutor}}'s constructor that I think is a
> bug. Specifically the {{formal != null}} is testing a condition that should
> never happen because
> [Method.getTypeParameters()|https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/reflect/Method.html#getTypeParameters()]
> should never return null.
>
> {noformat}
> private MethodExecutor(Class<?> c, java.lang.reflect.Method m, MethodKey k) {
> ...
> Class<?>[] formal = method.getParameterTypes();
> // if the last parameter is an array, the method is considered as
> vararg
> if (formal != null && MethodKey.isVarArgs(method)) { // <===== THIS
> LINE
> vastart = formal.length - 1;
> vaclass = formal[vastart].getComponentType();
> }
> ...
> }
> {noformat}
>
> I think {{formal != null}} is supposed to be {{formal.length != 0}}.
>
> *Impact:*
> Although this change may look trivial, my application completes in 25% less
> time with it (one benchmark goes from 9:49 to 7:01).
>
> For reference, this is the top of the call stack that takes 28% of the
> execution time:
> {noformat}
> java.lang.Class.getMethod(String, Class[])
> org.apache.commons.jexl3.internal.introspection.MethodKey.isVarArgs
> (java.lang.reflect.Method)
> org.apache.commons.jexl3.internal.introspection.MethodExecutor.<init>(Class,
> java.lang.reflect.Method,
> org.apache.commons.jexl3.internal.introspection.MethodKey)
> org.apache.commons.jexl3.internal.introspection.MethodExecutor.discover(org.apache.commons.jexl3.internal.introspection.Introspector,
> Object, String, Object[])
> org.apache.commons.jexl3.internal.introspection.Uberspect.getMethod(Object,
> String, Object[]){noformat}
>
> I looked for a sanctioned way to apply the "formal.length != 0" change using
> the provided hooks, but I couldn't find a good one. The code I want to change
> is too deep within the "internal" package. My bad way of changing this code
> is to use a custom {{Uberspect}} which calls a custom copy of
> {{MethodExecutor}} which extends a custom copy {{AbstractExecutor}}.
