RFR 8223349: [lworld] Reflection support on static <init> factory methods for inline types

[Mandy Chung]

Hi Roger,

line 185 and 190, these 2 methods create a new instance of a given class 
which is not necessarily Point class.   Perhaps simply take out this 
println.

Is there a test for checking getDeclaredConstructor(s) to find the 
static init factory and verify that invocation produces an expected 
inline value?

FYI.  I find a few issues in java.lang.invoke in looking up and 
unreflect the static init factory and working on a patch for it.  I will 
take care of the new tests for Lookup::findConstructor, findStatic, 
unreflectConstructor etc.
