I'll have to check the upper layers of this API, but if an

Not sure, what do you mean.
Do you mean the generated JVMTI upper layer or the
JvmtiEnv::GetNamedModule?
Probably, the generated code.
I did mean the generated layer.
Ok, thanks.
Update: Yes, passing a non-NULL jobject as the class_loader
parameter
when the jobject does not refer to a "class loader" is
caught
at the upper layer.
The upper layer does not check that it is a class loader, just for
non-NULL.
I think, it is good to have an assert here to double-checks the
pre-conditions as other caller can be added later.
But I'm Ok to get rid of it if you suggest.
Please keep the asserts. Basically I was mumbling to myself to
make sure that the asserts could not be reached by user code
and the "Update:" was to indicate that I did do.
Ok, thanks.

L6552: <description>
L6553: On return, points to a

L6554: </description>
L6555: </param>
The above wording doesn't allow for module_ptr to be NULL which
is a mismatch with the description.
I disagree (or maybe I got it incorrectly).
Pointing to NULL and be NULL is different.
It is not allowed for the module_ptr to be NULL but Ok to pint to
NULL on return.
I think the description needs to be:
On return, points to a <code>java.lang.reflect.Module</code> object
or points to a <code>NULL</code>.
Agreed, fixed.
Disagree. You would say that a pointer is NULL, not that it points to a
NULL.
