Context: https://github.com/microsoft/dotnet-podcasts Reviewing a `dotnet trace` log from the .NET Podcast app, I see: 40.12ms Mono.Android!Java.Interop.TypeManager.n_Activate(intptr,intptr,intptr,intptr,intptr,intptr) The bulk of this time (~33ms) is spent in System.Reflection.Emit-related code. Instead of using S.R.E, it appears we can use regular System.Reflection and call `ConstructorInfo.Invoke()` to do the work? The equivalent, non S.R.E code would call: * `RuntimeHelpers.GetUninitializedObject()` * Set the field `.handle` directly, which requires `Java.Lang.Object.handle` to be internal. * Invoke the `ConstructorInfo`, passing the uninitialized object After these changes, a new `dotnet trace` of the .NET Podcast app: 17.09ms Mono.Android!Java.Interop.TypeManager.n_Activate(intptr,intptr,intptr,intptr,intptr,intptr) I see about 6.37ms of the time spent in regular System.Reflection code instead (`ConstructorInfo.Invoke()`). ~~ Results ~~ Testing `dotnet new maui` on a Pixel 5 device, a regular `Release` build (without AOT): Before: 02-16 11:32:15.665 1980 2259 I ActivityTaskManager: Displayed com.companyname.foo/crc64808a40cc7e533249.MainActivity: +970ms 02-16 11:32:16.797 1980 2259 I ActivityTaskManager: Displayed com.companyname.foo/crc64808a40cc7e533249.MainActivity: +940ms 02-16 11:32:17.993 1980 2259 I ActivityTaskManager: Displayed com.companyname.foo/crc64808a40cc7e533249.MainActivity: +943ms 02-16 11:32:19.191 1980 2259 I ActivityTaskManager: Displayed com.companyname.foo/crc64808a40cc7e533249.MainActivity: +949ms 02-16 11:32:20.436 1980 2259 I ActivityTaskManager: Displayed com.companyname.foo/crc64808a40cc7e533249.MainActivity: +963ms 02-16 11:32:21.600 1980 2259 I ActivityTaskManager: Displayed com.companyname.foo/crc64808a40cc7e533249.MainActivity: +940ms 02-16 11:32:22.764 1980 2259 I ActivityTaskManager: Displayed com.companyname.foo/crc64808a40cc7e533249.MainActivity: +934ms 02-16 11:32:23.962 1980 2259 I ActivityTaskManager: Displayed com.companyname.foo/crc64808a40cc7e533249.MainActivity: +959ms 02-16 11:32:25.097 1980 2259 I ActivityTaskManager: Displayed com.companyname.foo/crc64808a40cc7e533249.MainActivity: +942ms 02-16 11:32:26.290 1980 2259 I ActivityTaskManager: Displayed com.companyname.foo/crc64808a40cc7e533249.MainActivity: +941ms Average(ms): 948.1 Std Err(ms): 3.74892577206384 Std Dev(ms): 11.855144218627 After: 02-16 11:23:01.038 1980 2259 I ActivityTaskManager: Displayed com.companyname.foo/crc64808a40cc7e533249.MainActivity: +918ms 02-16 11:23:02.250 1980 2259 I ActivityTaskManager: Displayed com.companyname.foo/crc64808a40cc7e533249.MainActivity: +929ms 02-16 11:23:03.432 1980 2259 I ActivityTaskManager: Displayed com.companyname.foo/crc64808a40cc7e533249.MainActivity: +926ms 02-16 11:23:04.614 1980 2259 I ActivityTaskManager: Displayed com.companyname.foo/crc64808a40cc7e533249.MainActivity: +942ms 02-16 11:23:05.796 1980 2259 I ActivityTaskManager: Displayed com.companyname.foo/crc64808a40cc7e533249.MainActivity: +937ms 02-16 11:23:07.005 1980 2259 I ActivityTaskManager: Displayed com.companyname.foo/crc64808a40cc7e533249.MainActivity: +948ms 02-16 11:23:08.211 1980 2259 I ActivityTaskManager: Displayed com.companyname.foo/crc64808a40cc7e533249.MainActivity: +955ms 02-16 11:23:09.353 1980 2259 I ActivityTaskManager: Displayed com.companyname.foo/crc64808a40cc7e533249.MainActivity: +932ms 02-16 11:23:10.555 1980 2259 I ActivityTaskManager: Displayed com.companyname.foo/crc64808a40cc7e533249.MainActivity: +954ms 02-16 11:23:11.729 1980 2259 I ActivityTaskManager: Displayed com.companyname.foo/crc64808a40cc7e533249.MainActivity: +946ms Average(ms): 938.7 Std Err(ms): 3.91875830674292 Std Dev(ms): 12.3922018490124 I suspect this saves ~10ms for this app?

Context: https://github.com/microsoft/dotnet-podcasts In working on dotnet#6766 and reviewing `dotnet trace` output, I found time being spent in `JNIEnv.GetObjectArray()`: 17.09ms Mono.Android!Java.Interop.TypeManager.n_Activate(intptr,intptr,intptr,intptr,intptr,intptr) ... 4.96ms Mono.Android!Android.Runtime.JNIEnv.GetObjectArray In this case, it is taking an array of parameters and calling a constructor. A lot of the time we are calling empty constructors! Reviewing `JNIEnv.GetObjectArray()` we could add a check if the array is of length 0 and return `Array.Empty<object>()`. I also found one other place doing `new Type[0]` we can fix while we're at it. After the change, I instead get: 2.56ms Mono.Android!Android.Runtime.JNIEnv.GetObjectArray I'm not able to see a noticeable difference in `dotnet new maui`, likely as this is such as small improvement.

Reviewing a `dotnet trace` log from the .NET Podcast app, I see:
40.12ms Mono.Android!Java.Interop.TypeManager.n_Activate(intptr,intptr,intptr,intptr,intptr,intptr)
The bulk of this time (~33ms) is spent in `System.Reflection.Emit`-
related code.
Instead of using `System.Reflection.Emit`, it appears we can instead
use regular `System.Reflection` and instead call
[`MethodBase.Invoke(object?, object?[]?)`][0] on a `ConstructorInfo`
instance to invoke a constructor on an already created instance.
The equivalent, non-`System.Reflection.Emit` code would call:
1. `RuntimeHelpers.GetUninitializedObject()`
2. Set the field `.handle` directly, which requires
`Java.Lang.Object.handle` and `Java.Lang.Throwable.handle` to be
`internal`.
3. Invoke "`ConstructorInfo.Invoke()`", *but actually* the
`MethodBase.Invoke(object?, object?[]?)` overload, providing the
uninitialzied object as the first `obj` parameter.
After these changes, a new `dotnet trace` of the .NET Podcast app:
17.09ms Mono.Android!Java.Interop.TypeManager.n_Activate(intptr,intptr,intptr,intptr,intptr,intptr)
I see about 6.37ms of the time spent in regular `System.Reflection`
code (`ConstructorInfo.Invoke()`) instead of `DynamicMethod` code.
~~ Results ~~

~~ Meta Question ~~
This change necessitates asking why `DynamicMethod` was used in
the first place. The [commit which introduced the change][1] states:
> Implement a DynamicMethod based constructor trampoline for Java
> based activation
>
> We need to guard against reentrancy of java-activated objects, so
> we build a small dynamic method which creates the uninitialized
> object, sets the handle field and then runs the constructor.
> This allows us to guard against calling NewObject based on the
> value of the IntPtr field.
[`JNIEnv::NewObject()`][2] is Bad™; [`JNIEnv::AllocObject()`][3] and
[`JNIEnv::CallNonvirtualVoidMethod()`][4] should be used instead.
See [xamarin/java.interop@972c5bc6][5] for details.
However, Xamarin.Android's use of `JNIEnv::AllocObject()` +
`JNIEnv::CallNonvirtualVoidMethod()` wasn't introduced [until 2013][6],
while the initial use of `DynamicMethod` began in 2010.
Thus, two theories for why `DynamicMethod` was used:
1. We didn't realize that `ConstructorInfo` inherited from
`MethodBase`, that `MethodBase.Invoke(object, object[])` existed,
and thus we avoid `DynamicMethod` entirely, *or*
2. `DynamicMethod` was an attempt to work around the limitations of
`JNIEnv::NewObject()`, before all the pitfalls of using
`JNIEnv::NewObject()` were fully understood. (Additionally,
`JNIEnv::NewObject()` use was *required* before Android 3.0!)
Either way, it doesn't look like we need to use `DynamicMethod` to
invoke C# constructors anymore.
