It occurred to me today I may have never asked about this, but why is there no looping handle? (or have I missed something?)
loopHandle(MethodHandle condition, MethodHandle body) In the current set of handles, I don't believe there's a way to construct a loop, since you can only link handles upwards from a target (i.e. there's no way to construct a handle to jump back to the condition again). Have I missed an obvious detail, or is this a gap in the set of handles? I ask because I still have a perverse desire to follow up on an idea John Rose gave me to implement JRuby's interpreter entirely with MethodHandles...with the obvious result being that by simply composing a set of handles they'll already be compiled to native code for me :) - Charlie _______________________________________________ mlvm-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo/mlvm-dev
