Thanks for your comments!

I totally agree that the code there requires major refactoring. In the fix I tried not to make it worse and fix the NPE.

The lack of volatile or synchronization, plus the use of multiple mutable fields, suggests that a deeper fix is necessary to be truly correct. For comparison, much of the similar code implementing reflection has been changed to use volatile. But that's a big job, for the serviceability team.

    Hi,

    I'm a developer from IDEA debugger (we have company OCA).
    We've increased usage of ReferenceTypeImpl.constantPool and now facing
    JDK-6822627 more often.
    Please review and sponsor the fix.

    The problem was that constantPoolBytesRef SoftReference value coud be
    GCed and there was no check for that.
    I've added it to the check inside getConstantPoolInfo to request the
    bytes again in this case.
