This answer to What\'s the (hidden) cost of Scala\'s lazy val? shows how they were implemented in Scala 2.7. But as the comments say, this must have changed since then, so I
Compiled this with scala 2.10.2:
class Foo {
lazy val bar = math.pow(5, 3)
}
Then decompiled the result with JD-GUI:
import scala.math.package.;
import scala.reflect.ScalaSignature;
@ScalaSignature(bytes="\006\001e1A!\001\002\001\013\t\031ai\\8\013\003\r\tq\001P3naRLhh\001\001\024\005\0011\001CA\004\013\033\005A!\"A\005\002\013M\034\027\r\\1\n\005-A!AB!osJ+g\rC\003\016\001\021\005a\"\001\004=S:LGO\020\013\002\037A\021\001\003A\007\002\005!A!\003\001EC\002\023\0051#A\002cCJ,\022\001\006\t\003\017UI!A\006\005\003\r\021{WO\0317f\021!A\002\001#A!B\023!\022\001\0022be\002\002")
public class Foo {
private double bar;
private volatile boolean bitmap$0;
private double bar$lzycompute() {
synchronized (this) {
if (!this.bitmap$0) {
this.bar = package..MODULE$.pow(5.0D, 3.0D);
this.bitmap$0 = true;
}
return this.bar;
}
}
public double bar() {
return this.bitmap$0 ? this.bar : bar$lzycompute();
}
}
Edit - Here's what it looks like for three fields:
class Foo {
lazy val a = math.pow(5, 1)
lazy val b = math.pow(5, 2)
lazy val c = math.pow(5, 3)
}
