bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8238460
webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dholmes/8238460/webrev/
This small enhancement adds some usage warnings to the JNI specification
- see details in bug report - and a runtime warning in the JNI
RegisterNatives code, covering the case where platform native methods
get rebound by code that is not part of the platform. This is needed by
native agents, but may be unexpected in other contexts, hence a warning
is issued.
A test is added to exercise the warning.
Other testing: tiers 1-3
The actual spec edit is not part of this RFR as the specs themselves are
not open-source.
Thanks,
David
