Yes. The solution would be to get tailcall working, and then have the bootstrap method tail-call the final target method. The effect would be the same as if the bootstrap method returned and the caller restarted the call... except for race conditions (which is one reason we have the current design). (Normally, the bootstrap method first finds the target method, then links it into the call site, though that's optional, and finally fulfills the immediate need by calling the target method and returning the result.) -- John --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JVM Languages" group.
