Class AbstractRelinkableCallSite

jdk.dynalink.support.AbstractRelinkableCallSite

All Implemented Interfaces:: RelinkableCallSite

Direct Known Subclasses:: ChainedCallSite, SimpleRelinkableCallSite

public abstract class AbstractRelinkableCallSite extends MutableCallSite implements RelinkableCallSite

A basic implementation of the RelinkableCallSite as a MutableCallSite. It carries a CallSiteDescriptor passed in the constructor and provides the correct implementation of the initialize(MethodHandle) method. Subclasses must provide RelinkableCallSite.relink(GuardedInvocation, MethodHandle) and RelinkableCallSite.resetAndRelink(GuardedInvocation, MethodHandle) methods.

Since:: 9

Constructor Summary

AbstractRelinkableCallSite(CallSiteDescriptor descriptor)

Modifier	Constructor	Description
`protected`	Creates a new abstract relinkable call site.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`CallSiteDescriptor`	`getDescriptor()`	Returns the descriptor for this call site.
`void`	`initialize(MethodHandle relinkAndInvoke)`	Invoked by dynamic linker to initialize the relinkable call site by setting a relink-and-invoke method handle.

Methods declared in class MutableCallSite

dynamicInvoker, getTarget, setTarget, syncAll

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`final MethodHandle`	`dynamicInvoker()`	Produces a method handle equivalent to an invokedynamic instruction which has been linked to this call site.
`final MethodHandle`	`getTarget()`	Returns the target method of the call site, which behaves like a normal field of the `MutableCallSite`.
`void`	`setTarget(MethodHandle newTarget)`	Updates the target method of this call site, as a normal variable.
`static void`	`syncAll(MutableCallSite[] sites)`	Performs a synchronization operation on each call site in the given array, forcing all other threads to throw away any cached values previously loaded from the target of any of the call sites.

Methods declared in class CallSite

type

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`MethodType`	`type()`	Returns the type of this call site's target.

Methods declared in class Object

clone, equals, finalize, getClass, hashCode, notify, notifyAll, toString, wait, wait, wait

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`protected Object`	`clone()`	Creates and returns a copy of this object.
`boolean`	`equals(Object obj)`	Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
`protected void`	`finalize()`	Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version. Finalization is deprecated and subject to removal in a future release.
`final Class<?>`	`getClass()`	Returns the runtime class of this `Object`.
`int`	`hashCode()`	Returns a hash code value for this object.
`final void`	`notify()`	Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.
`final void`	`notifyAll()`	Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.
`String`	`toString()`	Returns a string representation of the object.
`final void`	`wait()`	Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis)`	Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis, int nanos)`	Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.

Methods declared in interface RelinkableCallSite

relink, resetAndRelink

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`void`	`relink(GuardedInvocation guardedInvocation, MethodHandle relinkAndInvoke)`	This method will be called by the dynamic linker every time the call site is relinked (but see `RelinkableCallSite.resetAndRelink(GuardedInvocation, MethodHandle)` for an exception).
`void`	`resetAndRelink(GuardedInvocation guardedInvocation, MethodHandle relinkAndInvoke)`	This method will be called by the dynamic linker every time the call site is relinked and the linker wishes the call site to throw away any prior linkage state (that is how it differs from `RelinkableCallSite.relink(GuardedInvocation, MethodHandle)`).

Constructor Details

AbstractRelinkableCallSite

protected AbstractRelinkableCallSite(CallSiteDescriptor descriptor)

Creates a new abstract relinkable call site.

Parameters:: descriptor - the descriptor for this call site that will be returned from getDescriptor(). The call site's CallSite.type() will be equal to descriptor's CallSiteDescriptor.getMethodType().
Throws:: NullPointerException - if descriptor is null.

Method Details

getDescriptor

public CallSiteDescriptor getDescriptor()

Description copied from interface: RelinkableCallSite

Returns the descriptor for this call site.

Specified by:: getDescriptor in interface RelinkableCallSite
Returns:: the descriptor for this call site.

initialize

public void initialize(MethodHandle relinkAndInvoke)

Description copied from interface: RelinkableCallSite

Invoked by dynamic linker to initialize the relinkable call site by setting a relink-and-invoke method handle. The call site implementation is supposed to set this method handle as its target using CallSite.setTarget(MethodHandle). Relink-and-invoke is the initial method handle set by DynamicLinker.link(RelinkableCallSite) that will cause the call site to be relinked to an appropriate target on its first invocation based on its arguments, and that linked target will then be invoked (hence the name). This linking protocol effectively delays linking until the call site is invoked with actual arguments and thus ensures that linkers can make nuanced linking decisions based on those arguments and not just on the static method type of the call site.

Specified by:: initialize in interface RelinkableCallSite
Parameters:: relinkAndInvoke - a relink-and-invoke method handle supplied by Dynalink.
