java.lang.runtime.SwitchBootstraps
SwitchBootstraps
is a preview API of the Java platform.
Preview features may be removed in a future release, or upgraded to permanent features of the Java platform.
Bootstrap methods for linking
invokedynamic
call sites that implement
the selection functionality of the switch
statement. The bootstraps
take additional static arguments corresponding to the case
labels
of the switch
, implicitly numbered sequentially from [0..N)
.- Since:

Method Details
-
typeSwitch
public static CallSite typeSwitch(MethodHandles.Lookup lookup, String invocationName, MethodType invocationType, Object... labels) throws Throwable Bootstrap method for linking aninvokedynamic
call site that implements aswitch
on a target of a reference type. The static arguments are an array of case labels which must be non-null and of typeString
orInteger
orClass
.The type of the returned
CallSite
's method handle will have a return type ofint
. It has two parameters: the first argument will be anObject
instance (target
) and the second will beint
(restart
).If the
target
isnull
, then the method of the call site returns -1.If the
target
is notnull
, then the method of the call site returns the index of the first element in thelabels
array starting from therestart
index matching one of the following conditions:- the element is of type
Class
that is assignable from the target's class; or - the element is of type
String
orInteger
and equals to the target.
If no element in the
labels
array matches the target, then the method of the call site return the length of thelabels
array.- Parameters:
lookup
- Represents a lookup context with the accessibility privileges of the caller. When used withinvokedynamic
, this is stacked automatically by the VM.invocationName
- unusedinvocationType
- The invocation type of theCallSite
with two parameters, a reference type, anint
, andint
as a return type.labels
- case labels -String
andInteger
constants andClass
instances, in any combination- Returns:
- a
CallSite
returning the first matching element as described above - Throws:
NullPointerException
- if any argument isnull
IllegalArgumentException
- if any element in the labels array is null, if the invocation type is not not a method type of first parameter of a reference type, second parameter of typeint
and withint
as its return type, or iflabels
contains an element that is not of typeString
,Integer
orClass
.Throwable
- if there is any error linking the call site- See Java Virtual Machine Specification:

4.4.6 The CONSTANT_NameAndType_info Structure
