RFR: 8301374: NullPointerException in MemberEnter.checkReceiver

[Vicente Romero]

the following incorrect code is crashing javac:

public class X {
  interface F {
    void apply(E e);
  }
  enum E {
    ONE
  }

  F f = (E.ONE) -> {};   // E.ONE?
}

there are several issues the incorrect argument to this lambda expression. The proposed solution is to issue a syntax error for the missing parameter name. IMO, this error message would be correct here and this way the compiler fails fast instead of having to deal with an erroneous lambda later on to avoid a crash like the one we have now,

TIA
