A factory for abstract "constant" representations of objects. This is currently only used by our invokedynamic support to cache the "constant" handles that wrap common literal fixnums and symbols. See #2058.

Method Detail

create

Object create(Class type,
              Object object)

Return a representation of a "constant" suitable for optimization in the current runtime. For invokedynamic, this produces a MethodHandles.constant wrapper around the given object, typed with the given type.

Parameters:

type - the type to which the constant should conform

object - the object which represents the constant's value

Returns:

a constant representation suitable for optimization
