Tracking a bug in the backport, I've discovered that I forget to have a special case for Object[].clone(), the backport currently reports that the method is protected (Object.clone is protected) thus not accessible.
The latest jdk8 binary also have some trouble with array.clone too. public class JDKBug { public static void main(String[] args) throws Throwable { MethodHandles.lookup().findVirtual(Object[].class, "clone", MethodType.methodType(Object.class)); } } Exception in thread "main" java.lang.InternalError at java.lang.invoke.MethodHandle.viewAsType(MethodHandle.java:1254) at java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles$Lookup.restrictReceiver(MethodHandles.java:1194) at java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles$Lookup.getDirectMethodCommon(MethodHandles.java:1214) at java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles$Lookup.getDirectMethod(MethodHandles.java:1198) at java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles$Lookup.findVirtual(MethodHandles.java:654) at fr.umlv.megamorph.JDKBug.main(JDKBug.java:9) cheers, RĂ©mi _______________________________________________ mlvm-dev mailing list mlvm-dev@openjdk.java.net http://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo/mlvm-dev
