Hi, the subject should mention 8218628. (Not 8218626). Sorry for this!
Best regards, Goetz. From: Lindenmaier, Goetz Sent: Dienstag, 10. September 2019 11:48 To: 'Hotspot dev runtime' <hotspot-runtime-...@openjdk.java.net>; Java Core Libs <core-libs-dev@openjdk.java.net> Subject: RFR (L, final): 8218626: Add detailed message to NullPointerException describing what is null. Hi, this is the implementation of JEP 358: Helpful NullPointerExceptions. The JEP is in status "Candidate". Coleen (many, many thanks!) ran it through the Oracle-internal processes. Now I please need final reviews for this change so that I can propose it to target jdk 14. JEP: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8220715 Enhancement: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8218628 webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~goetz/wr19/8218628-exMsg-NPE/16/ The change ran through a lot of testing, all jtreg and jck tests to name only some. The webrev points to patch http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~goetz/wr19/8218628-exMsg-NPE/16/enable_NPE_message.patch that enables the change by default, which was useful for testing to assure the code is used in the tests. I just pushed the change to jdk/submit once more. Please review. Thanks! Goetz.
