Hi Dmitry,

I am not sure how using macro will help in this context. As far as I know, macros must be sparingly used as they are error-prone, obfuscate the code and hard to debug. Most of best coding practice for c/c++ (inluding Scott Myers Effective C++ ) advocate using macros only if it is absolutely needed.

Harsha,

I'm for macro.

You can define a macro right before a place where you uses it and undef
it when you don't need it anymore.

Looks functionally correct, but I wouldn't complain if you wanted to
use a macro to reduce the duplication and verbosity. Even the:

  109     if (obj == NULL) {
  110       free(dcmd_arg_info_array);
  111       return NULL;

can be replaced by an exception-check as that is the only time
JNU_NewObjectByName can return NULL.
I am not sure if using macro here is good practice since it will be
specific to the function and it will encapsulate the local variable
within it. Also, it will reduce code readability. Hence I would like
to leave it as is.
I also noticed an issue that was flagged in some other JNI code lately:

  213       if (obj == NULL) {
  214           free(dcmd_info_array);
  215           JNU_ThrowOutOfMemoryError(env, 0);
  216           return NULL;

If obj == NULL then there is already a pending exception and we
should not be throwing OOME.

Sure. This needs to be fixed.
Thanks,
David
