Geoffrey,

In both staticMethodHandle & lambdaMetafactory Dog::getName is inlined, but using different mechanisms.

In staticMethodHandle target method is statically known [1], but in case of lambdaMetafactory [2] compiler has to rely on profiling info to devirtualize Function::apply(). The latter requires exact type check on the receiver at runtime and that explains the difference you are seeing.

But comparing that with nonStaticMethodHandle is not fair: there's no inlining happening there.

I actually never dared to ask, what kind of information is really provided by the java compiler here to make the static version so fast? Is it because the static final version becomes a member of the class pool? Is the lambdafactory so fast, because here the handle will become the member of the pool of the generated class? And is there a way for me to bring nonStaticMethodHandle more near to staticMethodHandle, short of making it static?

bye Jochen
