Class-File API debug printing capability

[Chen Liang]

Thanks for this prompt. Note that CompoundElement implementations already have basic debug printout like ClassModel[thisClass=xxx, flags=xxx], so using "debug" to mean this resulting string is more detailed makes sense.

Subject: Class-File API debug printing capability


Class-File API lost debug printing capability with removal of the ClassPrinter in JDK-8345343<https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8345343>.
I’ve created a new enhancement<https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8345773> to add a method to `j.l.classfile.CompoundElement` returning its debug printout.

It is a chance to get this enhancement in Late-Enhancement Request Process (according to JEP 3) into JDK 24.



Please review the CSR: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8345774

And PR: https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/22634



Thank you!



Adam
