RFR: 8357682 : sun.security.provider.certpath.Builder#getMatchingPolicies always returns null

Tue Jul 22 18:56:45 UTC 2025

The method sun.security.provider.certpath.Builder#getMatchingPolicies appears to have been intended as a lazy initialization of the matchingPolicies field of the Builder class. However it checks for "matchingPolicies != null" (presumably it should be "matchingPolicies == null") at the start, which is always false. Therefore the method always returns null and the intended optimization goes unused.
