Reflect ASAM + JDK 8

[Juan Pablo Calvo]

Hello,

I have found this fork for the original repo, and in the forked repository it says:

This is the revised version, some differences from EsotericSoftware/reflectasm:

• Supports Java 8 only in order to remove the dependency of asm-xxx.jar

1. What does "Supports Java 8 only in order to remove the dependency of asm-xxx.jar" means?
2. Does original Reflect ASAM supports Java 8? 
3. Does original Reflect ASAM take advantage on the Java 8 features?

Thanks,

JP

Hi JP,

Probably best to ask that repo's author what his changes are.

ReflectASM works fine with Java 8+. I don't know what features you mean.

Cheers,

-Nate

Hi Nate,

I get a little confused because in this other repo says that it change the implementation to use Java 8 features (because u need to change one file). And as I read in many websites Java 8 improves reflection performance, so I was wondering if the original ReflectASAM could be benefit from those performance improvements when using Java 8.

Thanks Nate!

I haven't had time to dig into the fork and see what is different. You could use JMH to create a microbenchmark. I have set that up for Kryo (with charts), a similar setup could work for ReflectASM:
