Hello, sorry for coming up with that thread again, but I see that JDK-8042377 is hanging around with no action, and there was not yet any discussion I have seen about why it would be robust to call this IAE.
I know there was quite some work done in 2013 to make this self-supression IAE a bit less painfull (8012044: Give more information about self-suppression from Throwable.addSuppressed) but it was never really discussed why it is needed at all?
