Thanks. Alas I took a slightly wrong turn way back when which needs to 
be addressed - see below. Updated webrev:

The comment was trying to explain why we pass true to 
preparedLambdaForm, and followed on from the comment in the 
REF_invokeSpecial case. I've changed it to:

   // for interfaces we always adapt to get the receiver
   // check inserted (only if the MemberName kind is
   // REF_invokeSpecial of course)

Inserted:

   // refKind reflects the original type of lookup via findSpecial or
   // findVirtual etc.

Done (with minor editing).

Right. This is where I went off track a little with my changes earlier 
on. The key point is that this code was never intended for processing 
any Object methods, but only private interface methods. All Object 
methods and any non-private interface methods (which can happen if an 
interface redeclares a method also declared in Object!) were supposed to 
follow the "else" and be treated exactly the same as they were before 
the nestmate changes. But I unintentionally pulled final Object methods 
into the private interface code - hence the assertion problem and the 
line 192 ambiguity. So that's been fixed.

Of course that highlighted the same kind of mistake in another area - 
the templateTable. I inserted my private interface method "vfinal" check 
before the special Object method handling code. But of course that also 
causes final Object methods to follow my interface logic - which is 
wrong (and triggers a SEGV/NPE because the 'interface' klass* is not set 
in f2 in that case). So I needed to reorder the vfinal logic with the 
forced_virtual_shift logic.

Re-tested:
   jdk/java/lang/invoke
   hotspot/runtime/Nestmates
   hotspot/runtime/SelectionResolution
   hotspot/compiler/jsr232

   mach5: jdk-tier1,jdk-tier2,jdk-tier3,hs-tier1,hs-tier2,builds-tier1

Thanks,
David

And yes the current mainline code is broken - seems there is a gap in the existing test coverage as we never call a final method from an interface method. If we do we get:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> We only look at callerClass when dealing with LF_INVSPECIAL, which in mainline means we either have an invokespecial or an invokevirtual. For invokespecial this is fine of course. But the invokevirtual case was never encountered and so slipped by in error. With nestmates we also add invokeinterface to the mix - which is fine because if it is an invokeinterface then we want the check regardless. It doesn't matter if the check is enabled because of the (incidental) callerClass.isInterface check, or the explicit m.getDeclaringClass().isInterface(). But the logic is messy and far from clear and not correct by construction. So I will completely redo it in a simpler and more direct/explicit way.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The first was a problem with a static interface method - fixed by the !m.isStatic(). The second was caused by missing parentheses in the overall condition - which once fixed precluded the static case, so the first fix was not needed (as we never use LF_INVSPECIAL with statics). If only I'd tackled them in the reverse order.
