It can be used for general classes. See an example:
public class Stuff {
public int a, b;
private static final MethodHandle EQUALS;
static {
var lookup = MethodHandles.lookup();
try {
EQUALS = ObjectMethods.bootstrap(lookup, "equals", MethodHandle.class, "",
lookup.findGetter(Stuff.class, "a", int.class),
lookup.findGetter(Stuff.class, "b", int.class));
} catch (ReflectiveOperationException ex) {
throw new ExceptionInInitializerError(ex);
}
}
public boolean equals(Object o) {
return EQUALS.invokeExact(this, o);
}
}
