This is a follow-up on JDK-8255342 that removes non-specified JVM checks on classes with Record attributes. That introduces a regression in `InstanceKlass::is_record` that returns true on a non-record class which has `RecordComponents` attribute present. This causes unexpected semantics in `JVM_IsRecord` and `JVM_GetRecordComponents` and also a regression to trust final fields for non-record classes.
I propose to change `InstanceKlass::is_record` to match the JLS semantic of a record class, i.e. final direct subclass of `java.lang.Record` with the presence of `RecordComponents` attribute. There is no change to JVM class file validation. Also I propose clearly define: - `JVM_IsRecord` returns true if the given class is a record i.e. final and direct subclass of `java.lang.Record` with `RecordComponents` attribute - `JVM_GetRecordComponents` returns an `RecordComponents` array if `RecordComponents` attribute is present; otherwise, returns NULL. This does not check if it's a record class or not. So it may return non-null on a non-record class if it has `RecordComponents` attribute. So `JVM_GetRecordComponents` returns the content of the classfile. ------------- Commit messages: - 8257596: Clarify trusted final fields for record classes Changes: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/1706/files Webrev: https://webrevs.openjdk.java.net/?repo=jdk&pr=1706&range=00 Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8257596 Stats: 60 lines in 4 files changed: 30 ins; 10 del; 20 mod Patch: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/1706.diff Fetch: git fetch https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk pull/1706/head:pull/1706 PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/1706
