Constructing indexed var handles using the `MemoryLayout` API produces `VarHandle` which do not check the input indices for out-of-bounds conditions. While this can never result in a VM crash (after all the memory segment will protect against "true" OOB access), it is still possible for an access expression to refer to parts of a segment that are logically unrelated.
This patch adds a "logical" bound check to all indexed var handles generated using the layout API. Benchmarks are not affected by the check. Users are still able to create custom "unchecked" var handles, using the combinator API in `MethodHandles`. ------------- Commit messages: - Tweak javadoc - Merge branch 'master' into vh_bound_checks - Initial push Changes: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/8868/files Webrev: https://webrevs.openjdk.java.net/?repo=jdk&pr=8868&range=00 Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8287244 Stats: 73 lines in 3 files changed: 54 ins; 4 del; 15 mod Patch: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/8868.diff Fetch: git fetch https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk pull/8868/head:pull/8868 PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/8868
