Attributes

Remarks

Property getter documentation:

Returns the target method of the call site, which behaves like a normal field of the MutableCallSite.

The interactions of getTarget with memory are the same as of a read from an ordinary variable, such as an array element or a non-volatile, non-final field.

In particular, the current thread may choose to reuse the result of a previous read of the target from memory, and may fail to see a recent update to the target by another thread.

Java documentation for java.lang.invoke.MutableCallSite.getTarget().

Property setter documentation:

Updates the target method of this call site, as a normal variable. The type of the new target must agree with the type of the old target.

The interactions with memory are the same as of a write to an ordinary variable, such as an array element or a non-volatile, non-final field.

In particular, unrelated threads may fail to see the updated target until they perform a read from memory. Stronger guarantees can be created by putting appropriate operations into the bootstrap method and/or the target methods used at any given call site.
