Evolving the LanguageFrom “Evolving the Java Language” - JavaOne 2005

Java language principlesReading is more important than writingCode should be a joy to readThe language should not hide what is happeningCode should do what it seems to doSimplicity mattersEvery “good” feature adds more “bad” weightSometimes it is best to leave things out

One language: with the same meaning everywhereNo dialects

We will evolve the Java languageBut cautiously, with a long term view“first do no harm”

Binary literals

With underscores for clarity

int mask = 0b1010_1010_1010;long big = 9_223_783_036_967_937L;

Discriminating Strings Today

if("April".equals(s) || "June".equals(s)if("April".equals(s) || "June".equals(s)|||| "September".equals(s)"September".equals(s)||"November".equals(s))||"November".equals(s)) return 30;return 30;

Copying a File

InputStream in = new FileInputStream(src);OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(dest);

byte[] buf = new byte[8192];int n;

while (n = in.read(buf)) >= 0) out.write(buf, 0, n);

22

Copying a File (Better, but wrong)

InputStream in = new FileInputStream(src);OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(dest);

try { byte[] buf = new byte[8192]; int n; while (n = in.read(buf)) >= 0) out.write(buf, 0, n);} finally { in.close(); out.close();}

23

Copying a File (Correct, but complex)

InputStream in = new FileInputStream(src);try { OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(dest); try { byte[] buf = new byte[8192]; int n; while (n = in.read(buf)) >= 0) out.write(buf, 0, n); } finally { out.close(); }} finally { in.close();}

InputStream in = new FileInputStream(src);try { OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(dest); try { byte[] buf = new byte[8192]; int n; while (n = in.read(buf)) >= 0) out.write(buf, 0, n); } finally { out.close(); }} finally { in.close();}

Copying a File (Correct, but complex)

Exception thrown frompotentially three places.

Details of first two could be lost

25

Automatic Resource Management

try (InputStream in = new FileInputStream(src), OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(dest)){ byte[] buf = new byte[8192]; int n; while (n = in.read(buf)) >= 0) out.write(buf, 0, n);}

26

The Details

Compiler de-sugars try-with-resources into nestedtry-finally blocks with variables to track exception stateSuppressed exceptions are recorded for posterity

using a new facility of ThrowableAPI support in JDK 7

New superinterface java.lang.AutoCloseableAll AutoCloseable and by extensionjava.io.Closeable types useable with try-with-resources

anything with a void close()void close() method is a candidate

JDBC 4.1 retrofitted as AutoCloseableAutoCloseable too

New I/O 2 (NIO2) Libraries

Original Java I/O APIs presented challenges for developers Not designed to be extensibleMany methods do not throw exceptions as expectedrename()rename() method works inconsistentlyDevelopers want greater access to file metadata

Java NIO2 solves these problems

•••••

JSR 203

31

Java NIO2 Features

PathPath is a replacement for FileFileBiggest impact on developers

Better directory supportlist()list() method can stream via iteratorEntries can be filtered using regular expressions in API

Symbolic link supportjava.nio.file.Filesystem

interface to a filesystem (FAT, ZFS, Zip archive, network, etc)

java.nio.file.attributejava.nio.file.attribute packageAccess to file metadata

••

32

java.nio.file.Path

Equivalent of java.io.Filejava.io.File in the new APIImmutable

Have methods to access and manipulate PathPath

Few ways to create a PathPathFrom PathsPaths and FileSystemFileSystem

•–

•

•–

//Make a reference to the path//Make a reference to the pathPath home = Paths.get("/home/fred");Path home = Paths.get("/home/fred");

//Resolve tmp from /home/fred -> /home/fred/tmp//Resolve tmp from /home/fred -> /home/fred/tmpPath tmpPath = home.resolve("tmp");Path tmpPath = home.resolve("tmp");

//Create a relative path from tmp -> ..//Create a relative path from tmp -> ..Path relativePath = tmpPath.relativize(home)Path relativePath = tmpPath.relativize(home)

File file = relativePath.toFile();File file = relativePath.toFile();

33

File Operation – Copy, Move

File copy is really easyWith fine grain control

File move is supportedOptional atomic move supported

•–

•–

Path src = Paths.get("/home/fred/readme.txt");Path src = Paths.get("/home/fred/readme.txt");Path dst = Paths.get("/home/fred/copy_readme.txt");Path dst = Paths.get("/home/fred/copy_readme.txt");

Files.copy(src, dst,Files.copy(src, dst, StandardCopyOption.COPY_ATTRIBUTES,StandardCopyOption.COPY_ATTRIBUTES, StandardCopyOption.REPLACE_EXISTING);StandardCopyOption.REPLACE_EXISTING);

Path src = Paths.get("/home/fred/readme.txt");Path src = Paths.get("/home/fred/readme.txt");Path dst = Paths.get("/home/fred/readme.1st");Path dst = Paths.get("/home/fred/readme.1st");Files.move(src, dst,Files.move(src, dst,StandardCopyOption.ATOMIC_MOVE);StandardCopyOption.ATOMIC_MOVE);

34

Directories

DirectoryStream iterate over entriesScales to large directoriesUses less resourcesSmooth out response time for remote file systemsImplements IterableIterable and CloseableCloseable for productivity

Filtering supportBuild-in support for glob, regex and custom filters

•––––

•–

Path srcPath = Paths.get("/home/fred/src");Path srcPath = Paths.get("/home/fred/src");

try (DirectoryStream<Path> dir = try (DirectoryStream<Path> dir = srcPath.newDirectoryStream("*.java")) {srcPath.newDirectoryStream("*.java")) { for (Path file: dir)for (Path file: dir) System.out.println(file.getName());System.out.println(file.getName());}}

ForkJoin Framework

Goal is to take advantage of multiple processorDesigned for task that can be broken down into

smaller piecesEg. Fibonacci number fib(10) = fib(9) + fib(8)

Nearly always recursiveProbably not efficient unless it is

•

•

–

•–

if I can manage the taskif I can manage the task perform the taskperform the taskelseelse fork task into fork task into xx number of smaller/similar number of smaller/similartasktask join the resultsjoin the results

37

ForkJoin Example – Fibonacci

public class Fibonacci extends public class Fibonacci extends RecursiveTask<RecursiveTask<IntegerInteger>> { { private final int number; private final int number; public Fibonacci(int n) { number = n; } public Fibonacci(int n) { number = n; }

@Override protected @Override protected IntegerInteger compute() { compute() { switch (number) { switch (number) { case 0: return (0); case 0: return (0); case 1: return (1); case 1: return (1); default: default: FibonacciFibonaccif1 = new Fibonacci(number – 1);f1 = new Fibonacci(number – 1); FibonacciFibonaccif2 = new Fibonacci(number – 2);f2 = new Fibonacci(number – 2); f1.fork(); f2.fork(); f1.fork(); f2.fork(); return (f1.join() + f2.join()); return (f1.join() + f2.join()); } } } }}}

38

ForkJoin Example – Fibonacci

ForkJoinPool pool = new ForkJoinPool();ForkJoinPool pool = new ForkJoinPool();Fibonacci r = new Fibonacci(10);Fibonacci r = new Fibonacci(10);pool.submit(r);pool.submit(r);

while (!r.isDone()) {while (!r.isDone()) { //Do some work //Do some work ......}}

System.out.println("Result of fib(10) =System.out.println("Result of fib(10) ="+r.get());"+r.get());

InvokeDynamic Bytecode

JVM currently has four ways to invoke methodInvokevirtual, invokeinterface, invokestatic, invokespecial

All require full method signature dataInvokeDynamic will use method handle

Effectively an indirect pointer to the method

When dynamic method is first called bootstrap codedetermines method and creates handleSubsequent calls simply reference defined handleType changes force a re-compute of the method

location and an update to the handleMethod call changes are invisible to calling code
