Hi Vitaly,

Probably worth sending an email to the hotspot-dev at openjdk.java.net <mailto:hotspot-dev at openjdk.java.net>

I presume it in part might relate to cracking open the lambda “box” implementing the targeted functional interface to obtain the underlying method containing the lambda body, generated by javac, that the box defers to, then subsituting the indy call to an invocation of that underlying method. Cue lots of hand waving…

Maybe more clues in Oleg Pliss’s Closures on Embedded JVM presentation at JVMLS 2014:
