Here it says:
Since 2.1 :
[..]
added the invokedynamic instruction
Thus I suppose that it is possible to write instruction code containing invokedynamics with jasmin. However I could not find any documentation on the jasmin syntax and I just figured out how to use invokedynamic to get VerifyErrors with Jasmin, but not how to create a working example.
How is this instruction correctly used in Jasmin?
Each invokedynamic
bytecode should refer to a corresponding call site specifier (JVMS 6.5) which is actually a constant pool entry of CONSTANT_InvokeDynamic
type (JVMS 4.4.10).
Jasmin (http://jasmin.sourceforge.net) does not support CONSTANT_InvokeDynamic
, but Sable/jasmin does. Though using invokedynamic
in hand-written assembly is ungrateful job.
Here is an example of dynamic method that returns a reference to System.out
:
.class public HelloWorld
.super java/lang/Object
.method public <init>()V
aload_0
invokespecial java/lang/Object/<init>()V
return
.end method
.method public static main([Ljava/lang/String;)V
.limit stack 2
.limit locals 1
invokedynamic "getPrintStream" ()Ljava/io/PrintStream; HelloWorld/bootstrap(Ljava/lang/invoke/MethodHandles$Lookup;Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/invoke/MethodType;)Ljava/lang/invoke/CallSite;()
ldc "Hello, world"
invokevirtual java/io/PrintStream/println(Ljava/lang/String;)V
return
.end method
.method private static bootstrap(Ljava/lang/invoke/MethodHandles$Lookup;Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/invoke/MethodType;)Ljava/lang/invoke/CallSite;
.limit stack 6
.limit locals 3
new java/lang/invoke/ConstantCallSite
dup
aload_0
ldc java/lang/System
ldc "out"
ldc java/io/PrintStream
invokevirtual java/lang/invoke/MethodHandles$Lookup/findStaticGetter(Ljava/lang/Class;Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/Class;)Ljava/lang/invoke/MethodHandle;
invokespecial java/lang/invoke/ConstantCallSite/<init>(Ljava/lang/invoke/MethodHandle;)V
areturn
.end method
