RFR 8178949: The split verifier allows anewarray to create an array of more than 255 dimensions.

[harold seigel]

Hi,

Please review this updated fix for JDK-8178949: 
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~hseigel/bug_8178949.2/webrev/index.html

The updated fix is more efficient than my original fix.

Note that the updated fix only affects verifier.cpp. TestANewArray.java 
hasn't changed from the original fix.
