Unfortunately it would have to be an expected tags list or an extra constructed bit mask, due to the multiple tags allowed for MemberRefEntry and it would slightly affect the performance. Also an additional info for the exception message would have to be passed down (or the exception would have to be re-thrown), as the tag mask is not very informative. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/18907#issuecomment-2076114167
