[jdk17u] RFR: 8262095: NPE in Flow$FlowAnalyzer.visitApply: Cannot invoke getThrownTypes because tree.meth.type is null

Tue Oct 5 10:09:21 UTC 2021

I'd like to backport JDK-8262095 to 17u. It prevents NPE in javac.
The patch applies cleanly.
Tested with langtools tests, new test fails without the patch, passes with it.
