> Hi all,
>
> This change strengthens our Valhalla-specific classloading test suite and guards against regressions. An overview of the new changes is as follows:
> * `BigClassTreeClassLoader`: a utility classloader that generates huge class trees on the fly. The idea is to generate a tree that is deep (lots of parent classes) and very wide (classes have lots of value classes as fields, which have value class fields, etc.).
> * `ConcurrentClassLoadingTest` strains the classloading and preloading by classloading many classes at the same time.
> * `LoadableDescriptorsTest` ensures that the `LoadableDescriptors` attribute can handle unexpected data. This may need to be revisited if https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8366907 changes the semantics.
> * `PreLoadCircularityTest` ensures that preloading happens even when there are cycles (via inheritance, fields, and both).
> * `PreLoadDoesNotInitTest` is a regression test that ensures preloading will not initialize a class.
> * `PreLoadFailuresDoNotImpactApplicationTest` ensures that a flaky classloader during preloading will not cause crashes as long as the classloader can find the class when it is actually used.
> * `ValueClassInheritanceTest` is a regression test that ensures one cannot have a value class inherit from something that's not an abstract value class.
