Thanks for your reply! My aim is to dispatch based on the dynamic type of the Object as described in:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_dispatch Currently my implementation revolves around building a HashMap that maps a dynamic type to a MethodHandle and invoking that: HashMap<Class, MethodHandle> lookup = new HashMap(); MethodType type = MethodType.methodType(void.class, String.class); MethodHandle func = MethodHandles.lookup().findStatic(Main.class, "foo", type); lookup.put(String.class, func); Then to invoke on an Object x: lookup.get(x.getClass()).invokeGeneric(x); This is quite slow though (although I believe the bottleneck is in the invokeGeneric call). _______________________________________________ mlvm-dev mailing list mlvm-dev@openjdk.java.net http://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo/mlvm-dev
