Hi.
Please review,
Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8177146
Webrev:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~psandoz/jdk9/JDK-8177146-bind-protected-method/webrev/
-----
The patch contains a few changes:
1. The method `getDirectMethodCommon`, was changed so that if narrowing
due to protected method access must be done, it will be done regardless
of the flag doRestrict.
2. The private method ` getDirectMethodNoRestrict` was renamed to `
getDirectMethodNoRestrictInvokeSpecial`.
3. The method `bind` was changed to throw the correct exception type,
IAException.
4. `restrictReceiver` was changed such that it never widens the receiver
type. This could happen when the receiver was a subclass of the caller
class, and triggered the assertion (this happened not only in calls to
`bind` but also to `findVirtual`).

Thanks
