Class SerializedLambda

All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
public final class SerializedLambda
extends Object
implements Serializable

Serialized form of a lambda expression. The properties of this class represent the information that is present at the lambda factory site, including static metafactory arguments such as the identity of the primary functional interface method and the identity of the implementation method, as well as dynamic metafactory arguments such as values captured from the lexical scope at the time of lambda capture.

Implementors of serializable lambdas, such as compilers or language runtime libraries, are expected to ensure that instances deserialize properly. One means to do so is to ensure that the writeReplace method returns an instance of SerializedLambda, rather than allowing default serialization to proceed.

SerializedLambda has a readResolve method that looks for a (possibly private) static method called $deserializeLambda$(SerializedLambda) in the capturing class, invokes that with itself as the first argument, and returns the result. Lambda classes implementing $deserializeLambda$ are responsible for validating that the properties of the SerializedLambda are consistent with a lambda actually captured by that class.

                        String instantiatedMethodType,
                        Object[] capturedArgs)

Create a SerializedLambda from the low-level information present at the lambda factory site.

Parameters:
capturingClass - The class in which the lambda expression appears
functionalInterfaceClass - Name, in slash-delimited form, of static type of the returned lambda object
functionalInterfaceMethodName - Name of the functional interface method for the present at the lambda factory site
functionalInterfaceMethodSignature - Signature of the functional interface method present at the lambda factory site
implMethodKind - Method handle kind for the implementation method
implClass - Name, in slash-delimited form, for the class holding the implementation method
implMethodName - Name of the implementation method
implMethodSignature - Signature of the implementation method
instantiatedMethodType - The signature of the primary functional interface method after type variables are substituted with their instantiation from the capture site
capturedArgs - The dynamic arguments to the lambda factory site, which represent variables captured by the lambda

Methods

getCapturingClass

public String getFunctionalInterfaceMethodName()

Get the name of the primary method for the functional interface to which this lambda has been converted.

Returns:
the name of the primary methods of the functional interface

getFunctionalInterfaceMethodSignature

public String getFunctionalInterfaceMethodSignature()

Get the signature of the primary method for the functional interface to which this lambda has been converted.

Returns:
the signature of the primary method of the functional interface

getImplClass

public String getImplClass()

Get the name of the class containing the implementation method.

Returns:

getImplMethodKind

public int getImplMethodKind()

Get the method handle kind (see MethodHandleInfo) of the implementation method.

Returns:

getInstantiatedMethodType

public final String getInstantiatedMethodType()

Get the signature of the primary functional interface method after type variables are substituted with their instantiation from the capture site.

Returns:

getCapturedArgCount

public int getCapturedArgCount()

Get the count of dynamic arguments to the lambda capture site.

Returns:
the count of dynamic arguments to the lambda capture site

getCapturedArg

public Object getCapturedArg(int i)

Get a dynamic argument to the lambda capture site.

Parameters:
i - the argument to capture
Returns:
a dynamic argument to the lambda capture site

toString

public String toString()

Description copied from class: Object

Returns a string representation of the object. In general, the toString method returns a string that "textually represents" this object. The result should be a concise but informative representation that is easy for a person to read. It is recommended that all subclasses override this method.

The toString method for class Object returns a string consisting of the name of the class of which the object is an instance, the at-sign character `@', and the unsigned hexadecimal representation of the hash code of the object. In other words, this method returns a string equal to the value of:

getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())
Overrides:
toString in class Object
Returns:
a string representation of the object.
