/**
* <p>Bootstrap methods for converting lambda expressions and method references to functional interface objects.</p>
*
* <p>For every lambda expressions or method reference in the source code, there is a target type which is a
* functional interface. Evaluating a lambda expression produces an object of its target type. The mechanism for
* evaluating lambda expressions is to invoke an invokedynamic call site, which takes arguments describing the sole
* method of the functional interface and the implementation method, and returns an object (the lambda object) that
* implements the target type. Methods of the lambda object invoke the implementation method. For method
* references, the implementation method is simply the referenced method; for lambda expressions, the
* implementation method is produced by the compiler based on the body of the lambda expression. The methods in
* this file are the bootstrap methods for those invokedynamic call sites, called lambda factories, and the
* bootstrap methods responsible for linking the lambda factories are called lambda meta-factories.
*
* <p>The bootstrap methods in this class take the information about the functional interface, the implementation
* method, and the static types of the captured lambda arguments, and link a call site which, when invoked,
* produces the lambda object.
*
* <p>When parameterized types are used, the instantiated type of the functional interface method may be different
* from that in the functional interface. For example, consider
* <code>interface I<T> { int m(T x); }</code> if this functional interface type is used in a lambda
* <code>I<Byte> v = ...</code>, we need both the actual functional interface method which has the signature
* <code>(Object)int</code> and the erased instantiated type of the functional interface method (or simply
* <I>instantiated method type</I>), which has signature
* <code>(Byte)int</code>.
*
* <p>While functional interfaces only have a single abstract method from the language perspective (concrete
* methods in Object are and default methods may be present), at the bytecode level they may actually have multiple
* methods because of the need for bridge methods. Invoking any of these methods on the lambda object will result
* in invoking the implementation method.
*
* <p>The argument list of the implementation method and the argument list of the functional interface method(s)
* may differ in several ways. The implementation methods may have additional arguments to accommodate arguments
* captured by the lambda expression; there may also be differences resulting from permitted adaptations of
* arguments, such as casting, boxing, unboxing, and primitive widening. They may also differ because of var-args,
* but this is expected to be handled by the compiler.
*
* <p>Invokedynamic call sites have two argument lists: a static argument list and a dynamic argument list. The
* static argument list lives in the constant pool; the dynamic argument list lives on the operand stack at
* invocation time. The bootstrap method has access to the entire static argument list (which in this case,
* contains method handles describing the implementation method and the canonical functional interface method),
* as well as a method signature describing the number and static types (but not the values) of the dynamic
* arguments, and the static return type of the invokedynamic site.
*
* <p>The implementation method is described with a method handle. In theory, any method handle could be used.
* Currently supported are method handles representing invocation of virtual, interface, constructor and static
* methods.
*
* <p>Assume:
* <ul>
* <li>the functional interface method has N arguments, of types (U1, U2, ... Un) and return type Ru</li>
* <li>then the instantiated method type also has N arguments, of types (T1, T2, ... Tn) and return type Rt</li>
* <li>the implementation method has M arguments, of types (A1..Am) and return type Ra,</li>
* <li>the dynamic argument list has K arguments of types (D1..Dk), and the invokedynamic return site has
* type Rd</li>
* <li>the functional interface type is F</li>
* </ul>
*
* <p>The following signature invariants must hold:
* <ul>
* <li>Rd is a subtype of F</li>
* <li>For i=1..N, Ti is a subtype of Ui</li>
* <li>Either Rt and Ru are primitive and are the same type, or both are reference types and
* Rt is a subtype of Ru</li>
* <li>If the implementation method is a static method:
* <ul>
* <li>K + N = M</li>
* <li>For i=1..K, Di = Ai</li>
* <li>For i=1..N, Ti is adaptable to Aj, where j=i+k</li>
* </ul></li>
* <li>If the implementation method is an instance method:
* <ul>
* <li>K + N = M + 1</li>
* <li>D1 must be a subtype of the enclosing class for the implementation method</li>
* <li>For i=2..K, Di = Aj, where j=i-1</li>
* <li>For i=1..N, Ti is adaptable to Aj, where j=i+k-1</li>
* </ul></li>
* <li>The return type Rt is void, or the return type Ra is not void and is adaptable to Rt</li>
* </ul>
*
* <p>Note that the potentially parameterized implementation return type provides the value for the SAM. Whereas
* the completely known instantiated return type is adapted to the implementation arguments. Because the
* instantiated type of the implementation method is not available, the adaptability of return types cannot be
* checked as precisely at link-time as the arguments can be checked. Thus a loose version of link-time checking is
* done on return type, while a strict version is applied to arguments.
*
* <p>A type Q is considered adaptable to S as follows:
* <table summary="adaptable types">
* <tr><th>Q</th><th>S</th><th>Link-time checks</th><th>Capture-time checks</th></tr>
* <tr>
* <td>Primitive</td><td>Primitive</td>
* <td>Q can be converted to S via a primitive widening conversion</td>
* <td>None</td>
* </tr>
* <tr>
* <td>Primitive</td><td>Reference</td>
* <td>S is a supertype of the Wrapper(Q)</td>
* <td>Cast from Wrapper(Q) to S</td>
* </tr>
* <tr>
* <td>Reference</td><td>Primitive</td>
* <td>strict: Q is a primitive wrapper and Primitive(Q) can be widened to S
* <br>loose: If Q is a primitive wrapper, check that Primitive(Q) can be widened to S</td>
* <td>If Q is not a primitive wrapper, cast Q to the base Wrapper(S); for example Number for numeric types</td>
* </tr>
* <tr>
* <td>Reference</td><td>Reference</td>
* <td>strict: S is a supertype of Q
* <br>loose: none</td>
* <td>Cast from Q to S</td>
* </tr>
* </table>
*
* The default bootstrap ({@link #metaFactory}) represents the common cases and uses an optimized protocol.
* Alternate bootstraps (e.g., {@link #altMetaFactory}) exist to support uncommon cases such as serialization
* or additional marker superinterfaces.
