In fix pack 8.0.1.1 we have made many changes in Java generation to significantly reduce the amount of code being generated. Some of these changes will also improve runtime performance by shortening code paths.
In an upcoming fix pack for version 8, we plan to implement the following changes, to avoid hitting the 64K limit:
* Generate SQL statements into separate methods
* Optimize away if/while/for statements when their conditions are true/false
* Don't generate unreachable statements
* Don't generate unused variables
* Don't create a CallOptions object for local calls
* Generate the ++ or -- operators when incrementing or decrementing a primitive int
* Remove assignments where the source and target are the same
* Simplify math expressions, e.g. x * 1 --> x and x + 0 --> x
* Use primitives for IN parameters when possible
We will continue to evaluate our generated code to see if we can find other places where we can reduce the amount of code that is generated.
Thank you for this suggestion. We agree that the Java generator could do more to avoid hitting the 64K limit. We will investigate the possibilities, but we do not have a time frame for implementation.
