public class VolatileCallSite extends CallSite
AVolatileCallSite
is aCallSite
whose target acts like a volatile variable. Aninvokedynamic
instruction linked to aVolatileCallSite
sees updates to its call site target immediately, even if the update occurs in another thread. There may be a performance penalty for such tight coupling between threads.Unlike
MutableCallSite
, there is no syncAll operation on volatile call sites, since every write to a volatile variable is implicitly synchronized with reader threads.In other respects, a
VolatileCallSite
is interchangeable withMutableCallSite

Constructor Detail
VolatileCallSite
public VolatileCallSite(MethodType type)
Creates a call site with a volatile binding to its target. The initial target is set to a method handle of the given type which will throw anIllegalStateException
if called.- Parameters:
-
type
- the method type that this call site will have - Throws:
-
NullPointerException
- if the proposed type is null
VolatileCallSite
public VolatileCallSite(MethodHandle target)
Creates a call site with a volatile binding to its target. The target is set to the given value.- Parameters:
-
target
- the method handle that will be the initial target of the call site - Throws:
-
NullPointerException
- if the proposed target is null
-
Method Detail
getTarget
public final MethodHandle getTarget()
Returns the target method of the call site, which behaves like avolatile
field of theVolatileCallSite
.The interactions of
getTarget
with memory are the same as of a read from avolatile
field.In particular, the current thread is required to issue a fresh read of the target from memory, and must not fail to see a recent update to the target by another thread.
- Specified by:
-
getTarget
in classCallSite
- Returns:
- the linkage state of this call site, a method handle which can change over time
- See Also:
-
setTarget(java.lang.invoke.MethodHandle)
setTarget
public void setTarget(MethodHandle newTarget)
Updates the target method of this call site, as a volatile variable. The type of the new target must agree with the type of the old target.The interactions with memory are the same as of a write to a volatile field. In particular, any threads is guaranteed to see the updated target the next time it calls
getTarget
.- Specified by:
-
setTarget
in classCallSite
- Parameters:
-
newTarget
- the new target - Throws:
-
NullPointerException
- if the proposed new target is null -
WrongMethodTypeException
- if the proposed new target has a method type that differs from the previous target - See Also:
-
getTarget()
dynamicInvoker
public final MethodHandle dynamicInvoker()
Produces a method handle equivalent to an invokedynamic instruction which has been linked to this call site.This method is equivalent to the following code:
MethodHandle getTarget, invoker, result; getTarget = MethodHandles.publicLookup().bind(this, "getTarget", MethodType.methodType(MethodHandle.class)); invoker = MethodHandles.exactInvoker(this.type()); result = MethodHandles.foldArguments(invoker, getTarget)
- Specified by:
-
dynamicInvoker
in classCallSite
- Returns:
- a method handle which always invokes this call site's current target
