Even if the MH is garbage collected, the classloader that load C must be not available anymore too :) > If I create a call site using/returning MH, won't it be naturally the > case that I hard reference the handle?

A callsite can be inlined more than once. So the reference to the mh can not be dropt > bye Jochen Rémi _______________________________________________ mlvm-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo/mlvm-dev
