Hi all, seeing the mail from Peter on how to avoid pointer chasing, instead of using off-heap data structure, use value types.
Currently, there is a prototype, named the Minimal Value Type, that allows people to test value types inside the VM. The spec is here: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dlsmith/values.html There are an early access build for Linux and MacOs http://jdk.java.net/valhalla/ The version of ASM that let you generate the new bytecodes is here: https://gitlab.ow2.org/asm/asm/tree/MINIMAL_VALUE_TYPE and you can also get compiled version here: https://github.com/forax/valuetypify/tree/master/deps You can use the valuetypifier, that transform Java 8 code to code with value types https://github.com/forax/valuetypify regards, Rémi -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mechanical-sympathy" group.
