I see that local classes in static context don't have STATIC modifier. The same for anonymous classes. So there's no reliable information in the class file whether some local class is from the static context or not?

Hi Joe,

So enum classes, anonymous classes and local classes don't have a standard way of passing synthetic/implicit constructor parameters? Do various compilers do it differently than javac?

It's unfortunate but if # of parameter annotations arrays is less than the # of parameters, Parameter.getAnnotations() may return wrong annotations or throw IndexOutOfBoundException for enums, anonymous and local classes. Can't we do anything for them? At least for code compiled by javac?

For example, javac compiles enum classes so that they always prefix constructor source parameters with a pair of (String name, int ordinal, ...) and so do anonymous enum subclasses provided by enum constants (i.e. clazz.isAnonymousClass() && clazz.getSuperclass().isEnum())

Non-static local classes are compiled so that constructor source parameters are prefixed with a single parameter (OuterClass outerInstance, ...), while any captured variables follow source parameters

Static local classes are compiled so that constructor source parameters come 1st, followed by any captured variables.

etc...

Hello,

Please review the webrev to fix

JDK-8074977: Constructor.getAnnotatedParameterTypes returns wrong value
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~darcy/8074977.3/

To condense a complicated situation, there are cases where the number of parameters present for a constructor in source code and the number of parameters present for that constructor in the class file differ. One of those cases occurs for the constructor of a non-static member class [1] where there is a leading parameter to accept the outer this argument.

Bug JDK-8074977 reports on a situation where the type annotations on constructor parameters are incorrectly reported. Essentially, an off-by-one error is the cause since the annotation information is stored with respect to the number of parameters present in the source and an additional parameter is present at runtime.

An analogous situation exists for declaration annotations and constructor parameters, declaration annotations being the traditional flavor of annotations.

Type annotations and declaration annotations are read using different APIs so require separate fixes to detect the additional parameter and make the necessary adjustments in the returned information.

The regression tests cover both the type annotation reading API and the two ways of reading declaration annotations on parameters, calling getParameterAnnotations on the constructor or call getParameters on the constructor and then calling getAnnotations on each parameter. The getParameters API was added in JDK 8.

Static member and non-static member classes are used as test cases, as are constructors with and without generic type information.

Thanks,

-Joe
