Hi,
Please review this small change to fix bug JDK-8130669. The JVM
incorrectly throws ClassFormatError exceptions for non-void methods
named <clinit>. But, the JVM Spec 8 says that such <clinit> methods
should be ignored. See
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jvms/se8/html/jvms-2.html#jvms-2.9
for details.
The fix changes the JVM to, in this case, only throw ClassFormatError
exceptions for non-void <init> methods.
Open Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~hseigel/bug_8130669/
JBS Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8130669
The fix was tested with JCK Lang and VM tests, the UTE quick and
split_verifier tests, and the hotspot, java/io, java/lang, and java/util
JTreg tests.
Thanks, Harold
