RFR(S) 8160987: JDWP ClassType.InvokeMethod doesn't validate class

Hi Harold,

I'm having a lot of issues with the code and testing here. Please bear 
with me.

+     // If not the same class then check that containing_class is a 
super type of
+     // clazz and not an interface (hence it's a super class).

Simpler to just say:

+     // If not the same class then check that containing_class is a 
superclass of
+     // clazz (not a superinterface).

Took me a while to notice that interfaces don't inherit static methods 
from superinterfaces either!

---

test/com/sun/jdi/InterfaceMethodsTest.java

The new comments are very verbose compared to other negative tests:

  200         // try to invoke static method A on the instance. This 
should fail because ref
  201         // is of type InterfacemethodsTest$TargetClass which is 
not a subtype of the
  202         // class containing staticMethodA.

Could simply be:

200 // "staticMethodA" is not inherited by TargetClass


That aside the more I look at this test the more things I see that seem 
to be wrong or at the very least confused, in the existing code. First 
it seems that the test chooses to ignore the "class" object when given a 
non-null ref object - so it talks about invoking a static method on an 
instance, which is misleading at best as what it will actually do is 
take a path that tries to invoke the static method using the instances' 
class instead of the specified class (which may be the interface class). 
This makes the test descriptions and expected behaviours somewhat 
unintuitive in my opinion.

  244         // "staticMethodA" must not be inherited by InterfaceB
  245         testInvokeNeg(ifaceClass, null, "staticMethodA", "()I", 
vm().mirrorOf(RESULT_A),
  246                 "Static interface methods are not inheritable");

I am wondering how this test passes without your fix? It suggests there 
must already exist some code that compares the declaring class with the 
passed in class. ??

248         // however it is possible to call "staticMethodA" on the 
actual instance
  249         testInvokeNeg(ifaceClass, ref, "staticMethodA", "()I", 
vm().mirrorOf(RESULT_A),
  250                 "Static interface methods are not inheritable");

The comment here suggests a successful execution when in fact it expects 
it to fail. It should say "nor is it possible ...". But again, how does 
this pass (by failing) without your fix ???

252         // "staticMethodB" is overridden in InterfaceB

"overridden" is the wrong word here. Static interface methods are not 
inherited so they can not be overridden. "re-defined" would be an 
accurate description.

Similarly:

  255         // the instance invokes the overriden form of 
"staticMethodB" from InterfaceB

overridden -> re-defined

298         /* Static method calls */

This starts all the static method calls on the instance class - all of 
which are expected to fail, and do so _without_ your fix present! How?

Thanks,
David
