Is it possible to find the source for a Java native method?

From jdk/src/share/native/java/lang/Object.c static JNINativeMethod methods[] = { {“hashCode”, “()I”, (void *)&JVM_IHashCode}, {“wait”, “(J)V”, (void *)&JVM_MonitorWait}, {“notify”, “()V”, (void *)&JVM_MonitorNotify}, {“notifyAll”, “()V”, (void *)&JVM_MonitorNotifyAll}, {“clone”, “()Ljava/lang/Object;”, (void *)&JVM_Clone}, }; Meaning its a function pointer(probably done so they could implement platform-specific native code) doing a grep for JVM_Clone produces, among other things: (from hotspot/src/share/vm/prims/jvm.cpp) JVM_ENTRY(jobject, JVM_Clone(JNIEnv* env, … Read more

Why does this generic java method accept two objects of different type?

T is inferred to be Object, and both arguments are getting implicitly upcast. Thus the code is equivalent to: Main.<Object>random((Object)”string1″, (Object)new Integer(10)); What may be even more surprising is that the following compiles: random(“string1”, 10); The second argument is getting auto-boxed into an Integer, and then both arguments are getting upcast to Object.

Method Chains PHP OOP

This is called Fluent Interface — there is an example in PHP on that page. The basic idea is that each method (that you want to be able to chain) of the class has to return $this — which makes possible to call other methods of that same class on the returned $this. And, of … Read more

Why are python static/class method not callable?

Why are descriptors not callable? Basically because they don’t need to be. Not every descriptor represents a callable either. As you correctly note, the descriptor protocol consists of __get__, __set__ and __del__. Note no __call__, that’s the technical reason why it’s not callable. The actual callable is the return value of your static_method.__get__(…). As for … Read more

Python Unbound Method TypeError
