Package com.oracle.truffle.api.utilities Description

Various utility classes that aim to make the development of TruffleLanguage guest languages easier.

We try to capture common language patterns in this package. Here is an overview of patterns that we have captured so far:

• AssumedValue speculates on global values to remain unchanged.
• CyclicAssumption speculates on assumptions that might invalidate more often but are assumed to stabilize over time.
• NeverValidAssumption utility for assumptions that are always invalidated
• UnionAssumption utility for the union of two assumptions
