The fix for issue JDK-5043030 is incorrect. The generated code for reflection still allocates objects. It even makes the situation worse in cases when primitive wrapper classes' valueOf() allocates new instance. In such case the code allocates two objects. The fix for JDK-5043030 replaced invocation of constructor method with invocation of valueOf(), but it failed to remove actual object allocation. Take a look at the current bytecode of 'invoke' method below:

{
  public java.lang.Object invoke(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object[]) throws java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException;
    descriptor: (Ljava/lang/Object;[Ljava/lang/Object;)Ljava/lang/Object;
    flags: ACC_PUBLIC
    Code:

The first bytecode instruction allocates instance of java.lang.Long, which is not used and return value of java.lang.Long.valueOf() is used (at offset 43).
