This method is used from the implementation of `GetObjectRefType` ([2]), and from the implementation of `-Xcheck:jni` code. The former specifies that `JNIInvalidRefType` is a valid return value, and the latter compares the result against `JNIInvalidRefType`. However, if the handle is not any valid type, the implementation bottoms out in a `ShouldNotReachHere()`, meaning `JNIHandles::handle_type` can never return `JNIInvalidRefType`. I've fixed this by letting the enclosing if/else chain fall through to just returning the default result, which is `JNIInvalidRefType`. In that case, I observe the expected stack trace when running with `-Xcheck:jni`. For example:

Not sure what you're saying here. As far as I understand the intent of this code is to check whether the handle is of a certain type, and if it's not recognized, return `JNIInvalidRefType`. So, I'm not sure there should be any `ShouldNotReachHere()` in this code.

We can add an `else` branch that returns `JNIInvalidRefType` though.
