References from INDY bootstrap method specifier operands to CP entries
and back must be correctly merged at class redefinition.
Some background.
An invokedynamic bytecode spec:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jvms/se7/html/jvms-6.html#jvms-6.5.invokedynamic
A invokedynamic instruction has an argument which is an index to the
*Constant Pool* item.
That index must be a symbolic reference to a *call-site specifier*:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jvms/se7/html/jvms-4.html#jvms-4.4.10
A CP item of the type *CONSTANT_InvokeDynamic_inf* has an index into
the *bootstrap method attribute* of the class file:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jvms/se7/html/jvms-4.html#jvms-4.7.21
The *|BootstrapMethods|* attribute elements normally have references to
other *Constant Pool* items.
In VM the *bootstrap method attribute* is represented by the *operands*
array of the *ConstantPool*.
The problem is is that all the force and back cross links between
*ConstantPool* elements
and *operands* array elements must be correctly merged at class
redefinition.
Test coverage:
vm.mlvm, nsk.jvmti, nsk.jdi tests on multiple platforms (32 vs 64-bit
too).
The testing looks good so far.
One difficulty is that new vm.mlvm tests are currently failed because
of multiple reasons.
Thanks,
Serguei
