Hi, Please review:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~psandoz/jdk9/JDK-8163553-vh-mh-link-errors-not-wrapped/webrev/ This is the issue that motivated a change in the behaviour of indy wrapping Errors in BootstrapMethodError, JDK-8166974. I plan to push this issue with JDK-8166974 to hs, since they are related in behaviour even though there is no direct dependency between the patches. When invoking signature-polymorphic methods a similar but hardcoded dance occurs, with an appeal to Java code, to link the call site. - MethodHandle.invoke/invokeExact (and the VH methods) would wrap all Errors in LinkageError. Now they are passed through, thus an Error like ThreadDeath is not wrapped. - MethodHandle.invoke/invokeExact/invokeBasic throw Throwable, and in certain cases the Throwable is wrapped in an InternalError. In many other cases Error and RuntimeException are propagated, which i think in general is the right pattern, so i consistently applied that. - I updated StringConcatFactory to also pass through Errors and avoid unduly wrapping StringConcatException in another instance of StringConcatException. (LambdaMetafactory and associated classes required no changes.) Thanks, Paul.
