LibraryFactory (GraalVM Truffle Java API Reference)

java.lang.Object
- com.oracle.truffle.api.library.LibraryFactory<T>

```
public abstract class LibraryFactory<T extends Library>
extends Object
```
Library factories allow to create instances of libraries used to call library messages. A library factory for a library class can be looked up using the static method LibraryFactory.resolve(Class).
Library instances are either automatically dispatched or manually dispatched. Automatically dispatched libraries always return true for Library.accepts(Object) therefore they can be used with changing receiver values.
Manually dispatched libraries are created once for a receiver and are only valid as long as accepts returns true. Once accepts was checked for an individual value, it is guaranteed that the accepts continues to return true. It is therefore not necessary to call accepts again for multiple message invocations. To create automatically dispatched versions of libraries use either LibraryFactory.createDispatched(int) or LibraryFactory.getUncached(). For calling manually dispatched libraries it is recommended to use CachedLibrary instead using the factory manually.
Library instances are either cached or uncached. Cached instances are library instances designed to be used in ASTs. Cached instances are typically adoptable and store additional profiling information for the cached export. This allows to generate call-site specific profiling information for libray calls. Before a cached instance can be used it must be adopted by a parent node. Cached instances of libraries have a cost of NodeCost.MONOMORPHIC for each manually cached library.
Uncached versions are designed to be used from slow-path runtime methods or whenever call-site specific profiling is not desired. All uncached versions of a library are annotated with @TruffleBoundary. Uncached instances always return false for Node.isAdoptable(). Uncached instances of libraries have a cost of NodeCost.MEGAMORPHIC.
This class is intended to be sub-classed by generated code only. Do not sub-class LibraryFactory manually.

- Method Detail
  - createDispatched
```
public final T createDispatched(int limit)
```
    Creates a new cached and automatically dispatched library given a limit. The limit specifies the number of cached instances that will be automatically dispatched until the dispatched library rewrites itself to an uncached version of the library. If the limit is zero then the library will use an uncached version from the start. Negative values will throw an IllegalArgumentException. It is discouraged to use Integer.MAX_VALUE as parameter to this method. Reasonable values for the limit range from zero to ten.
    If possible it is recommended to not use this method manually but to use CachedLibrary instead.
    Whenever the limit is reached for a node and the uncached version is in use, the current enclosing node will be available to the uncached library export of the library using EncapsulatingNodeReference.
