Hi all So I've been playing around with invokedynamic (with build 84), however I've stumbled on something I find quite strange!
Consider two objects a and b that both reference a String. a is declared as a String but b is only an Object. When I dynamically invoke with either a or b as an argument I would expect the MethodType passed to the bootstrap method to be identical. String a = "hello"; Object b = a; InvokeDynamic.<void>foo(a); InvokeDynamic.<void>foo(b); However, when called with a, the MethodType is (java.lang.String)void; but with b, it is (java.lang.Object)void. I've dug around all over the place but can't find anything that confirms what the behaviour should be in this case. I was hoping invokedynamic could be used for multiple dispatch but that doesn't appear possible. I'm interested what the intended functionality is in this case. Is that a bug or intended?
