Backporting JDK-8225559: assertion error at TransTypes.visitApply

[Liam Miller-Cushon]

Hello,

I'd like to backport JDK-8225559: assertion error at TransTypes.visitApply
to 17u and 11u.

I've seen it cause a handful of crashes recently. The scenario is that some
IDEs will suggest removing an inferrable type parameter from an anonymous
class definition on Java >= 11, and then the bug causes a crash during type
inference.

Does anyone have concerns with backporting that fix, and if not, is anyone
interested in sponsoring the PR?

https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk17u-dev/pull/17

Thanks,
Liam
