Review request for: JDK-8004728 Add hotspot support for parameter reflection

[Eric McCorkle]

Apologies if this has already come across the list; it appears that it
didn't get through for some reason.

Please review the implementation of the following new feature:
https://jbs.oracle.com/bugs/browse/JDK-8004728


The open webrev is here:
http://oklahoma.us.oracle.com/~cphillim/webrev/8004728/


Summary:

This is the VM side of the implementation of method parameter
reflection.  The implementation has been tested by building and running
regression tests with javac hardwired to produce classfiles containing
MethodParameters attributes.

It will be further tested as part of the testing for the Reflection API
side of the implementation of this feature.

The specification of the feature is attached to the new feature request
above.


Thanks,
Eric
