Java8 Lambda表达式原理扫盲

背景

在使用Lamdba表达式，一直以为是内部类的方式实现的，但是一想如果每次调用都实例化一个内部类，性能肯定不好，难道Java里的lambda表达式真的是这么实现的吗？也许是该研究下原理了。

正文

1. 测试代码：

public class Test{
    public void test() {
        Runnable r = () -> System.out.println(123);
        r.run();
    }
}

执行编译命令javac -g Test.java，得到class文件。

1. 查看字节码

查看字节码javap -p -verbose Test得到：

通过字节码文件我们可以看到，编译出来的字节码文件中新增一些玩意：

1. 常量池里（#2）多了一个以前没有见过的InvokeDynamic指令
2. 新增了一个静态私有方法：private static void lambda$test$0()，里面的内容正好是lambda表达式里的代码；
3. 新增了一个BootstrapMethods属性，内部包含一个动态调用点列表，因为测试代码只有一个lambda表达式，所以我们只能看到一个调用点

在运行时有一个链接(link)过程，在JVM层面调用。通过链接操作，调用上面3中的调用点，调用点在动态生成实现了FunctionInterface接口的类，方法中则调用2中新增的lambda$test$0方法，生成类之后通过构造函数实例化一个对象，被调用点持有，调用点有一个字的常量池。在调用invokedynamic指令之前会发生链接过程。下文引自：参考5
里面也有提到过多线程场景，略过不提。

Before the JVM can execute a dynamic call site (an invokedynamic instruction), the call site must first be linked. Linking is accomplished by calling a bootstrap method which is given the static information content of the call site, and which must produce a method handle that gives the behavior of the call site.

总结

通过一些验证和资料检索，大概了解lambda的原理，是使用指令与动态生成的内部类来完成调用，而且正常只会被链接一次。从这个点上来看，对性能是没有什么损失的，可以放心的使用。

问题

自己梳理的比较肤浅，没有深挖最底层的实现。LambdaMetafactory.metafactory动态调用点的链接过程比较长，如果有动态调用的场景应该是可以参考的。翻到过一篇问答（见参考6），暂时没找到合适的场景使用，没有深入下去的动力。
