Re: [9] RFR (S): 7177745: JSR292: Many Callsite relinkages cause target method to always run in interpreter mode

2016-01-26 Thread John Rose
What I would like to see is for users to feel free to use CallSites with any amount of mutability, and have the JVM pick a good strategy for speculating and optimizing through CS target bindings. By "good" I mean that, if the CS is not megamutable, you get the performance comparable to an

I was going to say it is unlikely to matter in production cases but might well hit test code which does extensive meta-programming, but actually, since it¹s a question of invalidations across _all_ sites, rather than any single one I think it might make a difference. I¹ll need to take a look at

John, Chris, thanks for the feedback. I don't think it is only about microbenchmarks. Long-running large applications with lots of mutable call sites should also benefit for this change. Current JVM behavior counts invalidations on root method, so nmethods with multiple mutable call sites
