RFR[8243999]: ’DatagramSocket and MulticastSocket constructors don't specify how a null InetAddress is handled'

[Patrick Concannon]

Hi,

Could someone please review my patch and CSR for JDK-8243999 - ’DatagramSocket and MulticastSocket constructors don't specify how a null InetAddress is handled’?

Currently, several constructors from DatagramSocket and MulticastSocket don't specify that the socket will be bound to the wildcard address if a null InetAddress is supplied, or that an unbound socket will be created if a null value is passed as a SocketAddress parameter. This fix provides clarification on this behaviour.

issue: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8243999 <https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8243999>
CSR: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8246663 <https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8246663>

Kind regards,
Patrick
