[jdk21u-dev] RFR: 8333805: Replaying compilation with null static final fields results in a crash

Wed Mar 26 20:18:22 UTC 2025

Backporting JDK-8333805: Replaying compilation with null static final fields results in a crash. This fix has two changes: fixing fields by leaving out the "null" string when the field is null and setting the length to -1 for a null array. Adds test to confirm this functionality.
