Java in-Lining

Posted by Monte Gardner on August 30, 2001 at 4:35 PM

My CSE 240 Professor just gave a lecture in which he stated
that final methods in Java are compiled in-line by the Java
Compiler, kind of like C++ does. This means that instead of the compiler creating
instructions for the processor to execute the method that is
in a certain memory location, it creates a copy of the method
code where the call to it is located (I think). This doesn't
make sense to me because it seems that that would cause problems
with polymorphism, late-binding, and other things. Any
Comments on this??
