Hi, JDK-8246152 triggered a failure in a JCK test that expects a NPE rather than a StringConcatException. We can keep the old behavior, while retaining most of performance by removing the now superfluous Objects.requireNonNull calls from within the parse loop.
Also fixed an issue where we were accidentally producing the wrong message in case of mismatching number of constants or arguments. Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8246632 Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~redestad/8246632/open.01/ Testing: tier1 Thanks! /Claes
