FFM (Foreign Function and Memory) Stdlib Example

FFM is the new API trying to replace JNI and jep is here It is basically calling calling functions outside of JVM or accessing memory not managed by JVM. I wanted to test can FFM beat regular Java API, below you can find a simple test doing math sin with FFM and with regular Math.sin

import java.lang.foreign.FunctionDescriptor;
import java.lang.foreign.Linker;
import java.lang.foreign.MemorySegment;
import java.lang.foreign.SymbolLookup;
import java.lang.foreign.ValueLayout;

public class FFMSinTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Throwable {
        Linker linker = Linker.nativeLinker();
        SymbolLookup stdlib = linker.defaultLookup();

        // Locate the "sin" function in the C math library
        MemorySegment sinAddress = stdlib.find("sin").orElseThrow();
        FunctionDescriptor descriptor = FunctionDescriptor.of(ValueLayout.JAVA_DOUBLE, ValueLayout.JAVA_DOUBLE);
        var sinHandle = linker.downcallHandle(sinAddress, descriptor);

        double angle = Math.PI / 4; // 45 degrees in radians

        // Timing Java's Math.sin()
        long javaStartTime = System.nanoTime();
        for (int i = 0; i 



<p>And result is<br>
</p>

<pre class="brush:php;toolbar:false">Java Math.sin() took: 4.8677 ms
C sin (FFM) took: 78.9172 ms

In my laptop, lesson is “calling outside JVM is not a cheap process” ?
