Bootstrap methods for dynamically-computed constants.

Returns the result of invoking a method handle with the provided arguments.

This method behaves as if the method handle to be invoked is the result of adapting the given method handle, via MethodHandle.asType, to adjust the return type to the desired type.

Params:
  • lookup – unused
  • name – unused
  • type – the desired type of the value to be returned, which must be compatible with the return type of the method handle
  • handle – the method handle to be invoked
  • args – the arguments to pass to the method handle, as if with MethodHandle.invokeWithArguments. Each argument may be null.
Throws:
  • WrongMethodTypeException – if the handle's method type cannot be adjusted to take the given number of arguments, or if the handle's return type cannot be adjusted to the desired type
  • ClassCastException – if an argument or the result produced by invoking the handle cannot be converted by reference casting
  • Throwable – anything thrown by the method handle invocation
Returns:the result of invoking the method handle
