Wait a second... I doubt this is a false negative in VerifyMethodHandles. The MethodHandleWalker can't find a raw retype conversion function and that's why it crashes. Maybe it is a false negative but then we are missing some conversion logic in the walker too. -- Christian _______________________________________________ mlvm-dev mailing list mlvm-dev@openjdk.java.net http://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo/mlvm-dev
