The implementation of convertArguments and explicitCastArguments both need work to conform to the final API specification. You are finding real bugs in them. I am surprised that invokedynamic gave you a different result. The short-to-int path (the reverse of the above) should work even now, but maybe something got broken. These unit tests are important! :-) -- John _______________________________________________ mlvm-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo/mlvm-dev
