This patch removes two bits of dead code that I ran across.
The only interesting bit is the second patch, which removes this check:
/* Ignore synthetic methods, except for translated lambda methods.
*/
if ((tree.sym.flags() & (SYNTHETIC | LAMBDA_METHOD)) == SYNTHETIC) {
return;
}
because it's always preceded by this more general check:
/* MemberEnter can generate synthetic methods ignore them
*/
if ((tree.sym.flags() & SYNTHETIC) != 0) {
return;
}
and so can never match.
So the patch preserves the existing behavior, but the bit being removed there begs the question: was there some scenario where `tree.sym.flags()` could have both `SYNTHETIC` and `LAMBDA_METHOD` that we were supposed to be handling?
As it turns out, the `LAMBDA_METHOD` flag is only ever set by `LambdaToMethod`, but that class runs after this code (during flow analysis). So if there ever was any such scenario, it can no longer happen anyway.
