[8u40] Request for Approval: 8066236: RuntimeNode forces copy creation on visitation

[Attila Szegedi]

Thanks for the heads up, that's good to know. I saw your previous e-mail and was indeed wondering when will b19 be spun.

We had a helpful grad student run Nashorn through a "fuzzer"; a system randomly generating syntactically valid programs, and seeing what bugs crawl out from the previously unlit places. They were reported on Dec 1, and I have started earnestly looking into them since last week, and am gradually getting ready with fixes; I'm glad I could have these for 8u40 still with the easier process. I have three more on my plate to triage/fix, I'll likely be done with them after b19, so I'll judge whether they should be significant enough for 8u40 inclusion, and if so, I'll seek stage 2 approval for them.

Thanks,
  Attila.
