root-ClassLoaderValue. Each instance defines a separate namespace for associated values.

ClassLoaderValue allows associating a computed non-null value with a (ClassLoader, keys...) tuple. The associated value, as well as the keys are strongly reachable from the associated ClassLoader so care should be taken to use such keys and values that only reference types resolvable from the associated ClassLoader. Failing that, ClassLoader leaks are inevitable.

Example usage:


// create a root instance which represents a namespace and declares the type of
// associated values (Class instances in this example)
static final ClassLoaderValue<Class<?>> proxyClasses = new ClassLoaderValue<>();
// create a compound key composed of a Module and a list of interfaces
Module module = ...;
List<Class<?>> interfaces = ...;
ClassLoaderValue<Class<?>>.Sub<Module>.Sub<List<Class<?>>> key =
    proxyClasses.sub(module).sub(interfaces);
// use the compound key together with ClassLoader to lazily associate
// the value with tuple (loader, module, interfaces) and return it
ClassLoader loader = ...;
Class<?> proxyClass = key.computeIfAbsent(loader, (ld, ky) -> {
    List<Class<?>> intfcs = ky.key();
    Module m = ky.parent().key();
    Class<?> clazz = defineProxyClass(ld, m, intfcs);
    return clazz;
 });

classLoaderValue.<operation>(classLoader, ...) represents an operation to AbstractClassLoaderValue.get, AbstractClassLoaderValue.putIfAbsent, AbstractClassLoaderValue.computeIfAbsent or AbstractClassLoaderValue.remove a value associated with a (classLoader, classLoaderValue) tuple. ClassLoader instances and root-ClassLoaderValue instances are compared using identity equality while sub-ClassLoaderValue instances define equality in terms of equality of its parent ClassLoaderValue and its key component.
