Issue with VarHandle

I have a issue usung VarHandle, someone can help me to fix this test code?
Thank you.

import java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles
import java.lang.invoke.VarHandle

class Test {
    private var s: String? = null

    fun getS(): String? {
        return vh.get(this) as String?
    }

    fun setS(s: String) {
        vh.set(this, s)
    }

    companion object {
        private var vh: VarHandle = MethodHandles.lookup().findVarHandle(Test::class.java, "s", String::class.java)
    }
}

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    val t = Test()
    t.setS("OK")
    println(t.getS())

}

Result using Kotlin 1.3.11 on JDK 11

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.invoke.WrongMethodTypeException: cannot convert MethodHandle(VarHandle,Test,String)void to (VarHandle,Object[])void

Issue founded

https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-14416

Could you please try the 1.3.20 EAP with -XXLanguage:+PolymorphicSignature (as described in the issue you’ve linked) and see if the code works correctly?

Using the above example, I got the error

$ ./gradlew run
w: ATTENTION!
This build uses unsafe internal compiler arguments:

-XXLanguage:+PolymorphicSignature

This mode is not recommended for production use,
as no stability/compatibility guarantees are given on
compiler or generated code. Use it at your own risk!

OK, thanks. This is a known problem, reported as KT-28798 and fixed in the next EAP which is due very soon. Let’s wait for that and then see if the VarHandle issue is fixed.

Hi @udalov
I tested this and works

import java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles
import java.lang.invoke.VarHandle

class Test {
    @Volatile
    private var _s = ""

    var s: String
        get() = vh.get(this) as String
        set(value) {
            // workaround field = "x"
            vh.set(this, value)
        }

    companion object {
        private var vh: VarHandle = MethodHandles.lookup().findVarHandle(Test::class.java, "_s", String::class.java)
    }
}

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    val t = Test()
    t.s = "OK"
    println(t.s)
}

but I have to declare a support variable _s, do you have a better solution to fix:

import java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles
import java.lang.invoke.VarHandle

class Test {
    @Volatile
    var s: String = ""
        get() = vh.get(this) as String
        set(value) {
            // workaround field = "x"
            vh.set(this, value)
        }

    companion object {
        private var vh: VarHandle = MethodHandles.lookup().findVarHandle(Test::class.java, "s", String::class.java)
    }
}

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    val t = Test()
    t.s = "OK"
    println(t.s)
}

I’m not sure if there’s a better way to declare a property with both a backing field and accessors. An alternative approach would be to reference its field via field anywhere in its accessors, but I doubt that it’s a lot better:

@Volatile
var s: String = ""
    get() {
        @Suppress("UNUSED_EXPRESSION")
        field // "Unused" expression to force backing field for this property

        return vh.get(this) as String
    }
    set(value) {
        vh.set(this, value)
    }

Accessing to a volatile field imposes an acquire barrier.
Thank you for support, I take a look to AtomicFU.
