## [Java] Class IndyInterface

- org.codehaus.groovy.vmplugin.v8.IndyInterface

-     public class IndyInterface
      extends Object

  Bytecode level interface for bootstrap methods used by invokedynamic. This class provides a logging ability by using the boolean system property groovy.indy.logging. Other than that this class contains the interfacing methods with bytecode for invokedynamic as well as some helper methods and classes.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### public static CallSite bootstrap(Lookup caller, String callType, MethodType type, String name, int flags)

      Bootstrap method for method calls from Groovy-compiled code with indy.

      Parameters:
        `caller` - - the caller
        `callType` - - the type of call
        `type` - - the parameter(s) and return type specification
        `name` - - the real method name
        `flags` - - call flags
        - {@value #SAFE_NAVIGATION} is the flag value for safe navigation; see SAFE_NAVIGATION
        - {@value #THIS_CALL} is the flag value for a call on this; see THIS_CALL
        - {@value #SPREAD_CALL} is the flag value for a spread call; see SPREAD_CALL
      Since:
        2.1.0

    - #### @Deprecated
      public static Object fromCache(CacheableCallSite callSite, Class<?> sender, String methodName, int callID, Boolean safeNavigation, Boolean thisCall, Boolean spreadCall, Object dummyReceiver, Object[] arguments)

      Get the cached methodHandle. if the related methodHandle is not found in the inline cache, cache and return it.

      deprecated:
        Use the new bootHandle-based approach instead.

    - #### protected static void invalidateSwitchPoints()

      Callback for constant metaclass update change

    - #### protected static MethodHandle makeFallBack(MutableCallSite mc, Class<?> sender, String name, int callID, MethodType type, boolean safeNavigation, boolean thisCall, boolean spreadCall)

      Makes a fallback method for an invalidated method selection.

      public static Object selectMethod(CacheableCallSite callSite, Class<?> sender, String methodName, int callID, Boolean safeNavigation, Boolean thisCall, Boolean spreadCall, Object dummyReceiver, Object[] arguments)

      Core method for indy method selection using runtime types.

      deprecated:
        Use the new bootHandle-based approach instead.
