Silly quick question: What is the "L-world" discussed here?
- foota 8y agoI think this has to do with the class file representation of value types, where the l world is more similar somehow to the current state whereas the q world introduces major differences.
- kjeetgill 8y agoThe letter L is used in the JVM bytecode specification to refer to objects (as opposed to primitives or arrays). You'll often see that notation when using jmap or javap. https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jvms/se7/html/jvms-4.html#jvms-4.3.2 https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jvms/se7/html/jvms-4.ht...
- tom_mellior 8y agoThanks! I'd seen that notation before, but I didn't connect it to this context.
