Please review my fix for:

Bug:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8034032
Webrev:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bchristi/8034032/webrev.0/


Within jdk/src/macosx/native/java/util/prefs/MacOSXPreferencesFile.m,
there is a pattern of making blocks of toCF() calls, where
later toCF() calls are made when there could be an exception pending from an earlier toCF() call.

toCF()creates a CFString from a Java String. If an error occurs, it will raise an exception by calling the throwIfNull() macro:

#define throwIfNull(var, msg) \
    do { \
        if (var == NULL) { \
            throwOutOfMemoryError(env, msg); \
            goto bad##var; \
        } \
    } while (0)

Note: "##var" is substituted for whatever text is serving as "var", and throwIfNull() is meant to jump to the cleanup portion of a function (e.g. "badvar") to do cleanup before exiting.

This goto behavior is used more as intended elsewhere in MacOSXPreferencesFile.m. toCF() doesn't have such cleanup to do.

An example of a series of calls to toCF():

650     CFStringRef path = toCF(env, jpath);
651     CFStringRef child = toCF(env, jchild);
652     CFStringRef name = toCF(env, jname);

It's not until later that we check that everything turned out OK:

661     if (!path  ||  !child  ||  !name) goto badparams;

If one toCF() call throws an OOME exception, it will still be pending when the next call to toCF() makes a JNI call, (GetStringLength() in this case).

I believe the right thing to do here is to check the success of each toCF() call before making the next toCF() call. I've left the existing null checks / 'goto badparams' as is.

I also clear any pending exceptions in throwOutOfMemoryError().

Thanks,
