Hi, please review this bug fix to ensure MemberName::resolveOrNull doesn't throw exceptions when speculatively looking up members that aren't there.
HS: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~redestad/8161588/hs.01 JDK: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~redestad/8161588/jdk.01 This avoids throwing NoSuchMethodError etc just to be ignored, avoiding a performance penalty when looking things up speculatively (which is key to possible upcoming work to generate more JLI code with jlink). There's a pre-existing issue not dealt with by this fix in that the exceptions thrown in MHN_resolve_Mem are never observed, instead the exceptions thrown from various LinkResolver methods are observed. We could clear all pending exceptions in resolve_MemberName, but this breaks tests that are very particular about which exception is thrown when and where, thus I opted to add the clear_pending boolean to allow clearing the exception conditionally instead, keeping behavior identical for MemberName::resolveOrFail Thanks! /Claes
