MethodHandles And Bad Benchmarks Published: 2025-07-30 | Origin: /r/programming The content discusses feedback regarding benchmarks created by PVS-Studio related to the performance of MethodHandle methods, which the author believes are flawed. Key criticisms of the benchmarks include: 1. MethodHandles and reflection objects should be defined as static final for JVM optimizations. 2. The benchmark inaccurately compares method invocation by using exact return values and parameters, making it misleading. 3. The timing measurement should be in nanoseconds, not microseconds, to adequately assess MethodHandle performance. 4. Using |

Typechecking Is Undecidable When 'Type' Is a Type (1989) Published: 2025-07-29 | Origin: /r/programming The content appears to be a snippet from a PDF file, likely containing a numerical object structure and binary data. It features object references, a cross-reference table (xref), and a trailer section which are common components of a PDF document. The binary content seems to include a variety of encoded characters and sequences, but it is largely unintelligible without additional context or decoding. This data is structured for use in PDF file processing rather than conveying a specific narrative or information. |
