* transforms unknown dynamic invoke into NoSuchMethodError

[dkimitsa]

currently only StringConcat and Lambda bootstraps are recognized and cause DynamicInvoke to be transformed/dessugared.

in other cases DynamicInvoke instruction will stay in place and will cause compilation type exception:

Java.lang.ClassCastException: soot.jimple.internal.JDynamicInvokeExpr cannot be cast to soot.jimple.InstanceInvokeExpr

Issue was risen in gitter channel in scope Scala/desirialize labda being inserted in all classes. All these classes were failed to compile. Even if this functionality is not used (https://github.com/scala/scala/pull/4501).

As a workaround changed how InvokeDynamic is being handled:

• introduced single InbokeDynamicCompilerPlugin;
• LabdaPlugin and StringconcatRewriter plugins are made as delegates of InbokeDynamicCompilerPlugin;
• all not recognized InvokeDynamic are now translated into NoSuchMethodError exceptions

That's great, will it be included in next release?

[dkimitsa]

@ccellado hello, probably it will not go into 2.3.21 release. but in next release snapshot as there was no feedback on this feature. meanwhile you can try it by building RoboVM locally

[ccellado]

@dkimitsa what feedback would you require to speed up the release?

[Tom-Ski]

2.3.21 has been released. If release is ok this will be merged and testable on snapshot. From there scheduled into next release

[dkimitsa]

@ccellado you can build it locally from branch and test on local build.
