------------------------------------------
Summary: Primitive Specialisation
Key: GROOVY-9641
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-9641
Project: Groovy
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Suminda Dharmasena
In Groovy features like closures, generate primitive specialised instances to
avoid boxing and unboxing overheads for performance-sensitive and GC sensitive
use cases.
Maybe you can have @Specilised annotation to mark classes and methods to apply
this.
Scala has: [https://dzone.com/articles/type-specialization-in-scala] but in
Groovy this will be slightly different as Object is used in many places. Also
instead of annotating parameters in Groovy, it can be applied to all cases
within the class or method.
