[10] RFR: 8191813: compiler/runtime/SpreadNullArg.java fails in tier1

[Rahul Raghavan]

Hi,

Please review the following fix proposal for 8191813.

webrev - http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~rraghavan/8191813/webrev.00/


jbs - https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8191813

-- reported issue - After the latest sync from jdk/jdk the test 
SpreadNullArg started to fail in tier1 on all platforms.

-- Found this SpreadNullArg.java failure Caused after JDK-8157246 fix.
jbs - https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8157246.
'MHs.arrayLength, arrayElementGetter/Setter, arrayConstructor need to 
specify invocation-time behavior'.
changeset - http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk/rev/76519338df34

- So now with 8157246 fix, if method handle is invoked with a null array 
reference, NullPointerException will be thrown. (Not 
IllegalArgumentException)

- So above fix proposal in SpreadNullArg.java to expect 
NullPointerException after 8157246 changes.


Thanks,
Rahul
