  3. Project Valhalla OpenJDK project Started July 2014 Provide uniform data

    access model Value types + Generics specialization
  4. Value types Code like a class, works like an int

    value class complex { private final double re; private final double im; ... } No identity Must be immutable (avoid stack aliasing)
  5. Generics of value types class ArrayList<any E> implements List<E> {

    private E[] elements; ... } List<complex> list= new ArrayList<complex>(); The JIT will generate the specialization ! Will work with primitive types too List<int> list = new ArrayList<int>();
  6. Project Panama Java does not fear C anymore – Make

    the JIT generates the JNI Stubs – Make unsafe offheap access safe Need metadata to describe – C structs layout in memory – Calling conventions Access C heap safely through interfaces
  7. Project Panama The VM is already able to do restricted

    auto- vectorisation of loop over arrays of primitives Add API to access to SIMD/AVX ops – Need to define 128/256/512 bits int/double ? Use value types (but defined in JDK) – Intrinsics for the VM
  8. Current plan Java 10 – panama C without JNI +

    SIMD/AVX – stealth valhalla: Value types in the VM let JRuby, Groovy, Scala, etc play with it first Java 11 – full valhalla: Value types + Specialized Generics
  9. Project Amber http://openjdk.java.net/projects/amber/ explore and incubate smaller, productivity-oriented language features

    – Local-Variable Type Inference, Lambda Leftovers – Augment use-site Variance with declaration-site defaults – Enhanced Constant Folding – Enhanced Enums – ???
  10. Local Variable Type Inference simple var a = 3; var

    list = new ArrayList<String>(); use super type: var anonymous = new Object() { int x; }; not supported: var lambda = x -> x + 2; var ref = String::length;
  11. Misc ... ‘_’ means unused parameter public static void main(String[]

    _) { ... Lambda parameters open a new scope var cache = new HashMap<String, Info>(); var name = ... var info = cache.computeIfAbsent(name, name -> new Info(name));
  12. Example { or [{ "username": "remi", "user": "remi", ... ...

    } }, ... v1 v2 Extracting a user name from a JSON document
  13. If instanceof … { or [{ "username": "remi", "user": "remi",

    ... ... } }, ... Object json = ... if (json instanceof JSObject) { return ((JSObject)json).getValue("username"); } if (json instanceof JSArray) { return ((JSArray)json).get(0).getValue("user"); } ...
  14. Enhanced Switch Switch on types Object json = ... switch(json)

    { case JSObject: return ((JSObject)json).getValue("username"); case JSArray: return ((JSArray)json).get(0).getValue("user"); default: ... }
  15. Smart cast / type flow Fuse instanceof/cast + declare a

    variable Object json = ... switch(json) { case JSObject object: return return object.getValue("username"); case JSArray array: return array.get(0).getValue("user"); default: ... }
  16. Pattern Matching with Expression “break” is so 1970 ! Object

    json = ... return switch(json) { case JSObject object -> object.getValue("username") case JSArray array -> array.get(0).getValue("user") default: ... };
  17. Default ? We need a default because ... Object json

    = ... return switch(json) { case JSObject object -> object.getValue("username") case JSArray array -> array.get(0).getValue("user") default: ... };
  18. Algebraic Data Type Enumerate allowed subtypes closed interface Expr {

    data Value(int x) data Add(Expr left, Expr right) } 2 + (3 + 5) new Add(new Value(2), new Add(…, …)) or Add(Value(2), Add(Value(3), Value(5)))
  19. Data Class data Add(Expr left, Expr right) Provide a way

    to represent ‘structured’ data – Abstraction “it’s just a data class” – Less boiler plate Generate (at runtime ?) – equals, hashCode, toString, getters ? – Value types also need that too !
  20. Destructured Pattern Matching Data class fields can be extracted public

    Expr simplify(Expr expr) { return switch(expr) { case Add(var e1, var e2) -> ... case Value(var value) -> ... }; } Look ‘ma, no default
  21. Destructured Pattern Matching Match part of the subtree public Expr

    simplify(Expr expr) { return switch(expr) { case Add(Value(var v1), Value(var v2)) -> ... case Add(var e1, var e2) -> ... case Value(var value) -> ... }; }
  22. Destructured Pattern Matching With the implementations public Expr simplify(Expr expr)

    { return switch(expr) { case Add(Value(var v1), Value(var v2)) -> new Value(v1 + v2)) case Add(var e1, var e2) -> simplify(...) case Value value -> value }; }
  23. ‘_’ means unused/anything Use _ in patterns return switch(expr) {

    case Add(Value(_), Value(var v2)) -> case Add(_, _) -> case Value _ -> };
  24. Destructured Pattern Matching You can not change a local variable

    ! public Expr simplify(Expr expr) { return switch(expr) { case Add(Value(var v1), Value(var v2)) -> new Value(v1 + v2)) case Add(var e1, var e2) -> simplify(...) case Value _ -> expr }; } Use of local variable (non final)
  25. Destructured vs Encapsulation return switch(expr) { case Add(Value(var v1), ...)

    -> ... ... }; if (expr instanceof Add) { Add add = (Add)expr; Expr left = add.getLeft(); if (left instanceof Value) { Value v1 = (Value)left; … } } data class Add { ... public Expr getLeft() { return left; } public Expr getRight() { return right; } }
  26. De-constructor ? return switch(expr) { case Add(Value(var v1), Value(var v2))

    -> ... ... }; if (expr instanceof Add) { Add add = (Add)expr; Expr left, right = add.deconstructor(); if (left instanceof Value) { Value v1 = (Value)left; … } } data class Add { ... public Expr, Expr deconstructor() { return left, right; }
  27. Implementation Troubles Problems – If instanceof … else – De-constructor

    / Scala unapply – Sharing, zero allocation Goal Pattern matching on types == as fast as method calls ?
  28. If instanceof … else instanceof == dynamic suite of typechecks

    – Instanceof itself creates a series of if … else Linearly checks all patterns is slooooooow
  29. Use invokedynamic invokedynamic(expr); recipe […] The recipe is an array

    of pairs Pattern / Action • A text transformed as an automata at runtime • Action: a static method to call if the pattern match No instanceof guardWithTest is a typecheck on runtime classes
  30. Sharing Some patterns starts with the same pattern Several classes

    may match the same pattern switch(expr) { case Iadd(IValue(var v1), IValue(var v2)) -> // 1 case Iadd(var e1, var e2) -> // 2 IAdd IValue IValue extract expr v1 v2 action1 action2
  31. At runtime (1/4) switch(expr) { case Iadd(IValue(var v1), IValue(var v2))

    -> ... case Iadd(var e1, var e2) - > ... IAdd IValue IValue extract expr v1 v2 action1 action2 Add Add Value Value Value Create the matching data structure at runtime
  32. At runtime (2/4) switch(expr) { case Iadd(IValue(var v1), IValue(var v2))

    -> ... case Iadd(var e1, var e2) - > ... IAdd IValue IValue extract expr v1 v2 action1 action2 Add Add Value Value Value Add extract
  33. At runtime (3/4) switch(expr) { case Iadd(IValue(var v1), IValue(var v2))

    -> ... case Iadd(var e1, var e2) - > ... IAdd IValue IValue extract expr v1 v2 action1 action2 Add Add Value Value Value Add extract Add v1 action2
  34. At runtime (4/4) switch(expr) { case Iadd(IValue(var v1), IValue(var v2))

    -> ... case Iadd(var e1, var e2) - > ... IAdd IValue IValue extract expr v1 v2 action1 action2 Add Value Value Add extract Add v1 action2 Value v1 action1 Value v2
  35. Guard or map ? switch(expr) { case Iadd(IValue(var v1), IValue(var

    v2)) -> ... case Iadd(var e1, var e2) - > ... Add extract Add v1 action2 Value v1 action1 Value v2 After N guards, use java.lang.ClassValue instead
  36. De-constructor / unapply Scala unapply is slow (Tuple and Optional

    are objects) data class Add { private final Expr left; private final Expr right; ... public Optional<Tuple<Expr, Expr>> unapply() { return Some((left, right)); } } Extract the values => 2 object creations
  37. Idea ! Create only one object for the whole pattern

    expr == Add(Value(var v1), Value(var v2)) <=> var foo = new $Foo$(); (expr as Add).deconstructor(foo::args1, foo::args2); (foo.args1 as Value).deconstructor(foo:args3); (foo args2 as Value).deconstructor(foo::args4); action(args3, args4); /* runtime */ class $Foo$ { Expr arg1; Expr arg2; int arg3; int arg4; } args1 args2 args3 args4
  38. Magic ! Avoid the creation of the $Foo$ object, with

    the help of the VM Reify the stackframe as an object var frame = StackFrame.alloc(LExpr;LExpr;II) add.deconstructor(frame.refAt(0), frame.refAt(1)); … action.invokeWithStackFrame(frame, 2); a prototype is currently developed :)
  39. Java 10 – Speculative planning Panama Stealh Valhalla – Value

    types in the VM Amber – A lot of small improvements – Pattern Matching
  40. Pizza Java + generics + lambdas + pattern matching Generics

    → Java 5 Lambdas → Java 8 Pattern Matching → Java 10 ??
  41. Use-site Variance Wildcard are use-site Variance @FunctionalInterface interface Function<T, U>

    { U apply(T t) } interface Stream<T> { <U> Stream<U> map( Function<? super T, ? extends U> mapper) } Stream<String> s1 = … Stream<Number> s2 =s1.map((Object o) - > 3);
  42. Declaration-site Variance vs Use-site Variance Declaration site Variance @FunctionalInterface interface

    Function<super T, extends U> { U apply(T t) } interface Stream<T> { <U> Stream<U> map( Function<? super T, ? extends U> mapper) } Stream<String> s1 = … Stream<Number> s2 =s1.map((Object o) - > 3);
  43. Enhanced Constant Folding You can not emit an invokedynamic in

    Java – Testing is not fun :( The Java compiler is not able to propagate constants – Macro ? => add Intrinisics.ldc/invokedynamic + a mechanism to propagate constant (Constable?)
  44. Enhanced Enum Generics in enum enum ChronoField<X extends IntValueish> {

    YEAR<Year>, MONTH<Month>, DAY_OF_MONTH<Integer>, DAY_OF_WEEK<DayOfWeek>, } Frankenstenum in my opinion
  45. And switch with statements ? If limited to switch on

    types, use the double switch trick ! String s; int index = invokedynamic(expr); recipe […] switch(index) { case 0: s = "JSObject"; break; case 1: s = "JSArray"; break; default: s = "other"; } return s;
