Well, the ASM enhancer should still be considered experimental. And
someone reported it to be much slower than the BCEL one.
(Which is a bit of a surprise) Still I would love to see ASM being
used as the main engine. Just because the library has a much better
community.
I've worked only on the ASM enhancer because it seems much more
simple to understand.
Is the enhancing process or the enhanced code to be slower?
The final code should be the same. The enhancing process has been
reported to be slower.
I see there is no action around javaflow in the last year: is this
because of critical issues with its continuation approach or
simply lack of interest?
Well, I don't really use it at work anymore. And rarely people even
just gave feedback. Not talking about any contributions. Especially
when in the end I hear about people using it in their PhD thesis or
some cool projects I am a little in between. "Cool!" and "WTF
didn't you show up on the mailing lists". It's too much work if you
don't get paid for it and don't even use it. Plus I am not a big
fan of one man shows.
I understand!
Maybe Servlet-3.0 suspend/resume stuff will make tomcat people to be
interested in javaflow.. Maybe I'll ping them sooner or later.
Cool
About "talk to the RIFE guys"/"talk to the aspectwerkz and aspectj
folks", did anything happen?
I only have talked briefly with Geert. He was considering changing
the license and working together on it. While it is not as generic
as javaflow he is happy with his implementation. So I guess I just
did not have enough energy following up on this.
I don't know anything about RIFE continuations methods. Does it
still work with bytecode enhancement and a StackRecorder like
runtime object?
Yes, they took a slightly different approach though.
I succesfully made the ASM testsuite to fully pass
(SANDBOX-254+SANDBOX-255 patches). If there are known limitations
can you create failing tests for them?
I've just looked into them but (see the comment) but unfortunately
patches also did not apply cleanly.
I hope to have some more time this week.
cheers
