Hello again!
For that compiler error which you could reproduce, will you file a bug report, or is the API that much under change currently, that it's not relevant yet? Sorry, the proposed workaround produces same error for me. For the use case "calling a method whose signature is unknown prior to runtime" (such as some lib, loaded externally) : - Is invokeVarargs the only method which could "replace" the old slow Method.invoke for the given use case? - As mentioned in first mail, my benchmark showed for invokeVarargs nearly same slowness as Method.invoke. - So, the given use case doesn't profit from new concept at all? In that case: :'( Best regards, Ivan G S 06.11.10, 20:28, "Rémi Forax" <fo...@univ-mlv.fr>: > You've spot a bug: > (int) methodHandle.invokeExact(); // error: not a statement > should compile. > > The compiler should consider it as a statement, like it does > for invokedynamic. > > If you use a dummy variable, it works: > > int foo; > System.out.println("\n\nATTEMPT 1"); > foo = (int)InvokeDynamic.anything(); > > System.out.println("\n\nATTEMPT 2"); > foo = (int)methodHandle.invokeExact(); // warning: unchecked > generic array creation > > System.out.println("\n\nATTEMPT 3"); > foo = (int) methodHandle.invokeExact(); // error: not a statement _______________________________________________ mlvm-dev mailing list mlvm-dev@openjdk.java.net http://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo/mlvm-dev
