Bound MethodHandle at runtime

[Sebastian Sickelmann]

Hi,

first of all. Your Job at invokedynamic is really awesome. I have started a project called "mockinject" at java.net a few year ago that need to hook inside method calls and invokedynamic will make it really easy to do it in jdk7. I got some problem with the actual implementation of mockinject some time ago, but i want to restart the project with invokedymic.

mockinject does a lot of byte-code-fiddeling and this is really bug intensive.
So i decided to start another project "jvmdebug" that emulates the real byte-code-instruction-execution with simulation-code which has debug-information-pointers to asm-dumps of the real-class. My favorite IDE detects the debug-information shows the "linked" asm-dump and so it looks like you are debugging the byte-code. i use local variables to show the user of jvmdebug the actual state of the stack etc. .

And here is my question: Is there a way to identify the actually bound method-handle that will be used by an invokedynamic call? It would be really usefull for the user of jvmdebug to get this information before executing the invokedynamic instruction.

Kind regards
Sebastian
