Patch enables flat runtime layout for value based classes decorated with following annotations.
1. @NullRestrictedArray: Newly added annotation, ensures flat array elements are never assigned a null value during the lifetime of array, a violation to this rule results into a NullPointerException.
2. @ImplicitylConstructible: Ensures default value assignment to flat array element at the time of new allocation.
3. @LooselyConsistentValue: Relaxes strict atomic update constraint of value objects.
In addition, all primitive box classes when annotated with #1 and #2 assume atomic update since they wrap around primitive type fields.
With this patch, an array of Float16 type has flay runtime layout which enables auto-vectorization of FP16 operations.
Best Regards,
Jatin
