It seems to me it's a bug in the compiler or in the JVM, but maybe someone has a better explanation.
The following code runs fine as is, but if I uncomment the second runnable
initialization, that uses 'this' directly, it can't deserialize the object (in.readObject()
throws an exception).
public class TestClass implements Serializable {
String msg = "HEY!";
SerializableRunnable runnable;
public TestClass() {
TestClass self = this;
runnable = () -> self.say(); // uses a local copy of 'this'
// runnable = () -> this.say(); // uses 'this' directly
}
public void say() {
System.out.println(msg);
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
ByteArrayOutputStream buffer = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
try (ObjectOutputStream out = new ObjectOutputStream(buffer)) {
out.writeObject(new TestClass());
}
try (ObjectInputStream in = new ObjectInputStream(new ByteArrayInputStream(buffer.toByteArray()))) {
TestClass s = (TestClass) in.readObject();
s.say();
}
}
}
interface SerializableRunnable extends Runnable, Serializable {
}
This is the stacktrace for the root cause:

Is it the expected behavior?
Runnable runnable = (Runnable & Serializable) () -> self.say();
