Currently, the aforementioned two methods do not throw NPE upon null input, but throw IAE.
This behavior is bad for composition: `bsmEntry` actually throws IAE for nested null in the argument list/array, and other APIs are similarly affected. Given this domino effect, I think the best way is to fix the API itself to correctly throw NPE instead. A small CSR is opened to record this change. ------------- Commit messages: - 8361909: ConstantPoolBuilder::loadableConstantEntry and constantValueEntry should throw NPE Changes: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/26257/files Webrev: https://webrevs.openjdk.org/?repo=jdk&pr=26257&range=00 Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8361909 Stats: 11 lines in 2 files changed: 8 ins; 0 del; 3 mod Patch: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/26257.diff Fetch: git fetch https://git.openjdk.org/jdk.git pull/26257/head:pull/26257 PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/26257
