8048190: NoClassDefFoundError omits original ExceptionInInitializerError

[coleenp]

This is a change to save the class initialization error stack trace in a hashtable and return it as the cause when NoClassDefFoundError is thrown. The first commit is a more limited version of this that just changes the message, by adding to the message string. The second commit is getting and saving the stack trace for the original exception, and using the thread in the message. See CR for more details about how the message looks.

Tested with tier1-3 tests on 3 platforms. Tier 4-6 in progress (all but two done and passed).

Hi Coleen,

This was not quite what I had envisaged but initially I thought this looked really neat. However on further thought I think there are a number of potential problems with trying to re-create the original type of exception. The "exception" type may not exist or is not known to the current loader, or the "exception" type does not follow convention and have a string-taking constructor. But also for user-defined exception types you have no idea what execution context might be assumed by the exception constructor logic, or what that logic may do. It may be completely wrong/bad to try and create an exception of that type from the current thread in the current context.

Further comments/suggestions below.

Thanks,
David

David, thank you for all the comments.

Hi Coleen,

Still thinking about the details of this. One concern below, and a few minor comments.

Thanks,
David

[coleenp]

@dholmes-ora Thanks for looking at this in detail. It does a lot during initialization error so useful to be cautious. I was thinking of maybe having a diagnostic option to turn it off in case some application down the line finds it's doing too much or one that has a lot of initialization errors that blow up the table.

Hi Coleen,

Functional changes look good!

A couple of nits with the test.

Thanks,
David
