Link Details

I have been working furiously this summer, patching the OpenJDK HotSpot JVM for the JSR 292 implementation of dynamic invocation. In the wee hours of this morning, the JVM has for the first time processed a full bootstrap cycle for invokedynamic instructions, linking the constant pool entries, creating the reified call site object, finding and calling the per-class bootstrap method, linking the reified call site to a method handle, and then calling the linked call site 999 more times through the method handle, at full speed.
