RFR (S) 8023697: failed class resolution reports different class name in detail message for the , first and subsequent times

[Karen Kinnear]

Coleen,

A couple of comments/questions:

1. Can you possibly measure footprint in a large application to see if the saved error messages use significant footprint?
2. I'm concerned about setting expectations that the detailed message will be repeated precisely for constant pool resolution
    - but for now that is only for Class, MethodHandle and MethodType resolution
3. A comment in the bug report says that for linkage errors in SD the detail message is the name of the class, in all cases but this one, the
message is the same
   - I'm confused - did you test this with for instance a LoaderConstraint test - doesn't that have a different detail message?

I appreciate consolidating the duplicate code.

thanks,
Karen
