A refinement of some earlier ideas on the numerics modeling interfaces to inform further discussions.
This is a "lumpy" rather than "splitty" design in terms of favoring a smaller number of interfaces with more functionality rather than a larger number of interfaces making smaller distinctions. Various design comments and to-do's noted in the code. ------------- Commit messages: - Appease jcheck some more. - Appease jcheck - 8338529: Initial iteration of numerics modeling interfaces Changes: https://git.openjdk.org/valhalla/pull/1917/files Webrev: https://webrevs.openjdk.org/?repo=valhalla&pr=1917&range=00 Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8338529 Stats: 592 lines in 4 files changed: 592 ins; 0 del; 0 mod Patch: https://git.openjdk.org/valhalla/pull/1917.diff Fetch: git fetch https://git.openjdk.org/valhalla.git pull/1917/head:pull/1917 PR: https://git.openjdk.org/valhalla/pull/1917
