null
value - Throws:

mirror - Throws:

public static <E extends Enum<E>> E enumConstant(MethodHandles.Lookup lookup, String name, Class<E> type) Returns anenum
constant of the type specified bytype
with the name specified byname
.- Type Parameters:
E

- theClass
object describing the enum type for which a constant is to be returned- Returns:
- the enum constant of the specified enum type with the specified name
- Throws:

-
getStaticFinal

-
getStaticFinal
Returns the value of a static final field declared in the class which is the same as the field's type (or, for primitive-valued fields, declared in the wrapper class.) This is a simplified form ofgetStaticFinal(MethodHandles.Lookup, String, Class, Class)
for the case where a class declares distinguished constant instances of itself.- Parameters:
lookup
- the lookup context describing the class performing the operation (normally stacked by the JVM)name
- the name of the fieldtype
- the type of the field- Returns:
- the value of the field

invoke
public static Object invoke(MethodHandles.Lookup lookup, String name, Class<?> type, MethodHandle handle, Object... args) throws Throwable Returns the result of invoking a method handle with the provided arguments.This method behaves as if the method handle to be invoked is the result of adapting the given method handle, via
MethodHandle.asType(java.lang.invoke.MethodType)
, to adjust the return type to the desired type.- Parameters:
lookup
- unusedname
- unusedtype
- the desired type of the value to be returned, which must be compatible with the return type of the method handlehandle
- the method handle to be invokedargs
- the arguments to pass to the method handle, as if withMethodHandle.invokeWithArguments(java.lang.Object...)
. Each argument may benull
.- Returns:
- the result of invoking the method handle
- Throws:
WrongMethodTypeException
- if the handle's method type cannot be adjusted to take the given number of arguments, or if the handle's return type cannot be adjusted to the desired typeClassCastException
- if an argument or the result produced by invoking the handle cannot be converted by reference castingThrowable
- anything thrown by the method handle invocation
-
fieldVarHandle
public static VarHandle fieldVarHandle(MethodHandles.Lookup lookup, String name, Class<VarHandle> type, Class<?> declaringClass, Class<?> fieldType) Finds aVarHandle
for an instance field.- Parameters:

- the name of the fieldtype
- the required result type (must beClass<VarHandle>
)declaringClass
- the class in which the field is declaredfieldType
- the type of the field- Returns:
- the
VarHandle
- Throws:
IllegalAccessError
- if the declaring class or the field is not accessible to the class performing the operationNoSuchFieldError
- if the specified field does not existIllegalArgumentException
- if the type is notVarHandle
-
staticFieldVarHandle
public static VarHandle staticFieldVarHandle(MethodHandles.Lookup lookup, String name, Class<VarHandle> type, Class<?> declaringClass, Class<?> fieldType) Finds aVarHandle
for a static field.- Parameters:
lookup
- the lookup context describing the class performing the operation (normally stacked by the JVM)name
- the name of the fieldtype
- the required result type (must beClass<VarHandle>
)declaringClass
- the class in which the field is declaredfieldType
- the type of the field- Returns:
- the
VarHandle
- Throws:
IllegalAccessError
- if the declaring class or the field is not accessible to the class performing the operationNoSuchFieldError
- if the specified field does not existIllegalArgumentException
- if the type is notVarHandle
-
arrayVarHandle
public static VarHandle arrayVarHandle(MethodHandles.Lookup lookup, String name, Class<VarHandle> type, Class<?> arrayClass) Finds aVarHandle
for an array type.- Parameters:
lookup
- the lookup context describing the class performing the operation (normally stacked by the JVM)name
- unusedtype
- the required result type (must beClass<VarHandle>
)arrayClass
- the type of the array- Returns:
- the
VarHandle
- Throws:
IllegalAccessError
- if the component type of the array is not accessible to the class performing the operationIllegalArgumentException
- if the type is notVarHandle
-
explicitCast
public static Object explicitCast(MethodHandles.Lookup lookup, String name, Class<?> dstType, Object value) throws ClassCastException Applies a conversion from a source type to a destination type.Given a destination type
dstType
and an input valuevalue
, one of the following will happen:- If
dstType
isvoid.class
, aClassCastException
is thrown. - If
dstType
isObject.class
,value
is returned as is.
Otherwise one of the following conversions is applied to
value
:- If
dstType
is a reference type, a reference cast is applied tovalue
as if by callingdstType.cast(value)
. - If
dstType
is a primitive type, then, if the runtime type ofvalue
is a primitive wrapper type (such asInteger
), a Java unboxing conversion is applied 5.1.8 followed by a Java casting conversion 5.5 converting either directly todstType
, or, ifdstType
isboolean
, toint
, which is then converted to eithertrue
orfalse
depending on whether the least-significant-bit is 1 or 0 respectively. If the runtime type ofvalue
is not a primitive wrapper type aClassCastException
is thrown.
The result is the same as when using the following code:
MethodHandle id = MethodHandles.identity(dstType); MethodType mt = MethodType.methodType(dstType, Object.class); MethodHandle conv = MethodHandles.explicitCastArguments(id, mt); return conv.invoke(value);
- Parameters:
lookup
- unusedname
- unuseddstType
- the destination type of the conversionvalue
- the value to be converted- Returns:
- the converted value
- Throws:
ClassCastException
- whendstType
isvoid
, when a cast per (1) fails, or whendstType
is a primitive type and the runtime type ofvalue
is not a primitive wrapper type (such asInteger
)- Since:
