I would like to request for code reviews for the following changes.
Code changes : http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bharadwaj/8007736/webrev/
Bug fixed : https://jbs.oracle.com/bugs/browse/JDK-8007736
Summary of changes :
Java 8 allows public static interface methods. To accommodate for
this, the proposed change modifies bytecode verification of Java 8
classfiles to allow invokestatic to refer to static interface methods in
CONSTANT_InterfaceMethodref as well as static class methods in
CONSTANT_Methodref.
New test added :
A new jtreg test in hotspot/test/runtime is added.
Testing done:
No new jtreg failures seen due to this change.
Thanks,
Bharadwaj
