Hi,
A very small tweak to diagnostic spans. In some cases, errors for
multi-catches don't have a very nice spans. Like for example in the
following case shown by JShell:
jshell> try {
...> } catch (IllegalStateException | IOException ex) {}
| Error:
| exception java.io.IOException is never thrown in body of
corresponding try statement
| } catch (IllegalStateException | IOException ex) {}
| ^-----------------------------------------------^
underlining the whole catch clause feels unnecessary - the issue is only
in IOException.
With the proposed patch, the span is much more precise:
jshell> try {
...> } catch (IllegalStateException | IOException ex) {}
| Error:
| exception java.io.IOException is never thrown in body of
corresponding try statement
| } catch (IllegalStateException | IOException ex) {}
| ^---------^

JBS: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8243557
How does this look?
Thanks,
Jan
