> Please review this small fix for JDK-8268720. The fix changes the JVM to no longer throw a ClassFormatError exception for a constant pool NameAndType that has a name and descriptor that are both valid, but are incompatible together, such as "<init>()D".
>
> Note that if the CONSTANT_NameAndType_info for a CONSTANT_Methodref_info contained the name "<init>"and descriptor such as "()D" then a ClassFormatError exception would get thrown because the CONSTANT_Methodref_info would be invalid. JVM Spec section 4.4.2 says:
>
> If the name of the method in a CONSTANT_Methodref_info structure begins with a '<' ('\u003c'), then the name must be the special name <init>, representing an instance initialization method (§2.9.1). The return type of such a method must be void.
>
> The fix was tested with Mach5 tiers 1 and 2 on Linux, Mac OS, and Windows, Mach5 tiers 3-5 on Linux x64, and JCK Lang and VM tests on Linux x64.
>
> Thanks, Harold
