bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8187567
webrev**: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dholmes/8187567/
** test/runtime/Nestmates/privateConstructors/TestInvokeSpecial.java
contains additional changes for 8187536. They will be checked in separately.
While nestmates will ultimately be associated with a future
source/target version of the JDK and an updated classfile version (see
JDK-8187302) we want to be able to enable them by default as-if
executing in that future release.
The primary changes are confined to javac and are very straight-forward:
- generate the nestmate attributes in the classfile
- use virtual invocation bytecodes for private method invocations
- don't generate private accessors
With this change in place we can update the hotspot nestmate tests to
not provide explicit "@compile" directives. We also add a test to verify
that invokeinterface is rejected for private interface methods in
pre-nestmate classfile versions (v52 works fine for this).
We can now build the JDK with the new nestmate features enabled, and run
tests without needing to provide additional javac options.
I also added a missing testcase in
test/runtime/Nestmates/privateMethods/TestInvoke.java (just to ensure
there's no unexpected difference with this$0 usage).
Thanks,
David
