I don’t disagree, if we can decide whether —module= is allowed. Based on my understanding and the document for java[1], the —module= is not necessarily correct.

If we decided to accept it, the fix would be make sure the index set correctly as Kumar suggested, and the fix can be relatively simple.

FWIW, it’s still possible the index is NOT_FOUND if there is no main class specified, but that should never cause crash as if no main class is found, the launcher should either execute other terminal argument or display help.

I agree the fix is not complete as it only make sure no crash can happen. It doesn’t actually make —module= illegal and show help in case of that. At this point, there is a discrepancy in launcher code regard —module usage, and we need to fix that.

I’ll let Alan to comment about the —module option usage.

The webrev looks good to me, although I would like to see the test be more close to other arguments processing test, but since this can only be reproduced with —module= usage, I assume this is not bad.

Henry's observation matches mine, the shared common code for all platforms in checkArg (src/java.base/share/native/libjli/args.c) can potentially leave the firstAppArgIndex static set to -1, if all passed command line arguments are prefixed with a dash. Later on the arguments are validated, however we might crash before then on Windows because of the negative index access. In this case, the customer command was valid (modules usage) and the program runs successfully.
