Generation of synthesized parameters

[Eric McCorkle]

In order to facilitate writing tests for the MethodParameters feature,
I'd like to get a complete list of all the cases when javac can generate
synthesized parameters.

Here is a list I've put together from email discussions and comments in JBS:

1) outer "this" parameters
2) extra values passed to constructor for enum values
3) hidden values passed to constructors of inner classes for final
variables
4) JLS mandated public no-arg constructors added by the compiler to
classes with no declared constructor: synthesized
5) The two parameters pre-ended to enum constructors by javac


Does this capture everything, or does it miss something?

Ideally, I would like to put together a complete list of all cases that
should generate synthesized parameters.  (If one already exists, then
that's great).

Thanks,
Eric
