6939224: MethodHandle.invokeGeneric needs to perform the correct set of conversions
Until now, the HotSpot JVM has conflated invokeExact with invokeGeneric. These changes, combined with forthcoming JDK runtime support changes, provide a hook for the JVM to perform on-the-fly argument conversions in invokeGeneric calls, as specified by the JSR 292 EG. http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jrose/6939224/webrev.00/ This review is for the JDK parts, which (a) distinguishes correctly between the two invocation modes, and (b) performs an upcall to Java code when argument types need matching. -- John _______________________________________________ mlvm-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo/mlvm-dev
