[jira] [Created] (GROOVY-9641) Primitive Specialisation

Suminda Dharmasena created GROOVY-9641:
------------------------------------------

             Summary: Primitive Specialisation
                 Key: GROOVY-9641
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-9641
             Project: Groovy
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Suminda Dharmasena


In Groovy features like closures, generate primitive specialised instances to avoid boxing and unboxing overheads for performance-sensitive and GC sensitive use cases.

 

Maybe you can have @Specilised annotation to mark classes and methods to apply this.

 

Scala has: [https://dzone.com/articles/type-specialization-in-scala] but in Groovy this will be slightly different as Object is used in many places. Also instead of annotating parameters in Groovy, it can be applied to all cases within the class or method.
