This patch fixes few javadoc issues in the memory layout API. The main issues are that `SequenceLayout::flatten` and `SequenceLayout::reshape` still mention failures caused by a lack of size. But that condition is no longer possible in the new API.
The javadoc of `ValueLayout::arrayElementVarHandle` is suboptimal and can be clarified - UOE is only thrown if the value layout alignment is bigger than its size. Finally, the `MemoryLayout::equals` method does not mention value layout carriers. The JBS issue associated with this PR mentions also other issues, mostly related to the overly broad visibility of some of the methods in the javadoc (e.g. isPadding). Unfortunately, given the presence of an intermediate, non-public, abstract class, this is what we get from javadoc. Fixing these issues would require a deeper restructuring of the implementation, which would be too riskt at this stage. ------------- Commit messages: - Initial push Changes: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk19/pull/98/files Webrev: https://webrevs.openjdk.org/?repo=jdk19&pr=98&range=00 Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8289558 Stats: 26 lines in 4 files changed: 15 ins; 5 del; 6 mod Patch: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk19/pull/98.diff Fetch: git fetch https://git.openjdk.org/jdk19 pull/98/head:pull/98 PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk19/pull/98
