How to create your initial class type?

[vocal creek]

As far as you can see, in classes of primitive types of variables (String, Integer, Long ...) you can see a similar construction
public static final Class<String> TYPE = (Class<String>) Class.getPrimitiveClass("string"); I understand that it is responsible for creating a primitive class type (int, long...), I have a question how can i create my same type for my primitive class?

P.s I know that the question is not ordinary and complex, if you do not know the answer to this question or think that there is no solution to this, then just ignore it.
Or give a weighty argument

String isn't primitive

and what do ylu mean with same type for primitive class?

You misunderstood, I need my own primitive data type like int

[drowsy ingot]

Java doesn't allow custom primitive types (yet)

although valhalla might change that

[vocal creek]

valhalla ?

[drowsy ingot]

https://openjdk.org/jeps/401

https://openjdk.org/projects/valhalla/

but that isn't in Java yet

[vocal creek]

I think it's possible to do it via C++ to Java?

[drowsy ingot]

do what?

Creating your own primitives that can be used from Java? No

But why would you need that?

[vocal creek]

this is not something that is required in my API, but the primitive would add sugar to my code, and greatly reduce it

[drowsy ingot]

Are they required to be primitives?

Or are records sufficient?

public record(String someString, int someInt){}

[vocal creek]

records are not an option, I just wanted a primitive primitive type for the class

[drowsy ingot]

that's not possible

Java doesn't allow more primitives

If you tell me why you need it, I might be able to help you find a good way around it

[vocal creek]

I wanted to implement exactly this technology, and not bypass it)

[drowsy ingot]

the only way to get custom primitives to work with Java is using an early-access Valhalla build - and if you do that, others cannot use it and it might break at any point

[drowsy ingot]

Valhalla already does that

[vocal creek]

kk, I am grateful to you for the argument and hope, thank you very much)

[drowsy ingot]

note that Valhalla might still take a few years to be at that point

But early access builds are available: https://openjdk.org/projects/valhalla/early-access
But please, don't use them for anything else than testing

But I don't think you want to create your own JDK which won't be compatible/violates the specs

[vocal creek]

and you will be right)
