A VolatileCallSite is a CallSite whose target acts like a volatile variable. An invokedynamic instruction linked to a VolatileCallSite sees updates to its call site target immediately, even if the update occurs in another thread. There may be a performance penalty for such tight coupling between threads.
Unlike MutableCallSite, there is no syncAll operation on volatile call sites, since every write to a volatile variable is implicitly synchronized with reader threads.
In other respects, a VolatileCallSite is interchangeable with MutableCallSite.

(->volatile-call-site type)
Constructor.
Creates a call site with a volatile binding to its target. The initial target is set to a method handle of the given type which will throw an IllegalStateException if called.
type - the method type that this call site will have - java.lang.invoke.MethodType
throws: java.lang.NullPointerException - if the proposed type is null
Constructor. Creates a call site with a volatile binding to its target. The initial target is set to a method handle of the given type which will throw an IllegalStateException if called. type - the method type that this call site will have - `java.lang.invoke.MethodType` throws: java.lang.NullPointerException - if the proposed type is null
(dynamic-invoker this)
Produces a method handle equivalent to an invokedynamic instruction which has been linked to this call site.
This method is equivalent to the following code:
MethodHandle getTarget, invoker, result; getTarget = MethodHandles.publicLookup().bind(this, "getTarget", MethodType.methodType(MethodHandle.class)); invoker = MethodHandles.exactInvoker(this.type()); result = MethodHandles.foldArguments(invoker, getTarget)
returns: a method handle which always invokes this call site's current target - java.lang.invoke.MethodHandle
Produces a method handle equivalent to an invokedynamic instruction which has been linked to this call site. This method is equivalent to the following code: MethodHandle getTarget, invoker, result; getTarget = MethodHandles.publicLookup().bind(this, "getTarget", MethodType.methodType(MethodHandle.class)); invoker = MethodHandles.exactInvoker(this.type()); result = MethodHandles.foldArguments(invoker, getTarget) returns: a method handle which always invokes this call site's current target - `java.lang.invoke.MethodHandle`
(get-target this)
Returns the target method of the call site, which behaves like a volatile field of the VolatileCallSite.
The interactions of getTarget with memory are the same as of a read from a volatile field.
In particular, the current thread is required to issue a fresh read of the target from memory, and must not fail to see a recent update to the target by another thread.
returns: the linkage state of this call site, a method handle which can change over time - java.lang.invoke.MethodHandle

(set-target this new-target)
Updates the target method of this call site, as a volatile variable. The type of the new target must agree with the type of the old target.
The interactions with memory are the same as of a write to a volatile field. In particular, any threads is guaranteed to see the updated target the next time it calls getTarget.
new-target - the new target - java.lang.invoke.MethodHandle
throws: java.lang.NullPointerException - if the proposed new target is null
