@sspitsyn I am not sure to follow your comment. 
In the case of invalid structure, no exception was pending and therefore the method `load_new_class_versions` returns no error.
if `merge_cp_and_rewrite` returns anything else than `JVMTI_ERROR_NONE` it should be propagated.
Now, if you want to process pending exception first I can move the check result after, but for example the call above to `compare_and_normalize_class_versions` is done like this also
