ConstantCallSite
Creates a call site with a permanent target.- Parameters:
target- the target to be permanently associated with this call site- Throws:
NullPointerException- if the proposed target is null
-
ConstantCallSite
Creates a call site with a permanent target, possibly bound to the call site itself.During construction of the call site, the
createTargetHookis invoked to produce the actual target, as if by a call of the form(MethodHandle) createTargetHook.invoke(this).Note that user code cannot perform such an action directly in a subclass constructor, since the target must be fixed before the
ConstantCallSiteconstructor returns.The hook is said to bind the call site to a target method handle, and a typical action would be
someTarget.bindTo(this). However, the hook is free to take any action whatever, including ignoring the call site and returning a constant target.The result returned by the hook must be a method handle of exactly the same type as the call site.
While the hook is being called, the new
ConstantCallSiteobject is in a partially constructed state. In this state, a call togetTarget, or any other attempt to use the target, will result in anIllegalStateException. It is legal at all times to obtain the call site's type using thetypemethod.- Parameters:
targetType- the type of the method handle to be permanently associated with this call sitecreateTargetHook- a method handle to invoke (on the call site) to produce the call site's target- Throws:
WrongMethodTypeException- if the hook cannot be invoked on the required arguments, or if the target returned by the hook is not of the giventargetTypeNullPointerException- if the hook returns a null valueClassCastException- if the hook returns something other than aMethodHandleThrowable- anything else thrown by the hook function

getTarget
Returns the target method of the call site, which behaves like afinalfield of theConstantCallSite. That is, the target is always the original value passed to the constructor call which created this instance.- Specified by:
getTargetin classCallSite- Returns:
- the immutable linkage state of this call site, a constant method handle
- Throws:
IllegalStateException- if theConstantCallSiteconstructor has not completed- See Also:
-
setTarget
Always throws anUnsupportedOperationException. This kind of call site cannot change its target.- Specified by:
setTargetin classCallSite- Parameters:
ignore- a new target proposed for the call site, which is ignored- Throws:
UnsupportedOperationException- because this kind of call site cannot change its target- See Also:
-
dynamicInvoker
Returns this call site's permanent target. Since that target will never change, this is a correct implementation ofCallSite.dynamicInvoker.- Specified by:
dynamicInvokerin classCallSite- Returns:
- the immutable linkage state of this call site, a constant method handle
- Throws:
IllegalStateException- if theConstantCallSiteconstructor has not completed
