Not sure who really owns this file so cc'ing core-libs and serviceability.
bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8157188
The file src/java.base/share/native/include/classfile_constants.h
describes information about classfiles and is used by libverify and
./demo/share/jvmti/java_crw_demo/java_crw_demo.c
This file has not been updated for classfile version 53 and so asserts
will fail in java_crw_demo.c when it encounters classes compiled for
version 53 - as they now are. This version change caused test failures
in the hotspot forest when it was pulled down earlier this week.
This fix trivially bumps the current version number to 53 to fix the
failing tests. It is a separate issue as to whether other changes are
needed in this file to reflect what is new with classfile version 53.
Diff below.
Thanks,
David
