Hi,
please oblige and review the follows changes:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~msheppar/8023649/webrev/
for the issue:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8023649
This is performed under the auspices of reliability, robustness and
stability.
* As such, a number of error checks are amended to free malloc-ed memory,
* to add consistency to the code, additional ExceptionCheck have been
added as a post SetObjectArrayElement invocation check,
* A long standing issue reporting that
NetworkInterface::getInterfacesAddresses can throw an NPE has been
addressed.
The context for such a failure is that there is an IPv4 only
configuration and that configuration is incorrect in its setting.
This may lead to the bindings array being allocated, but expected
InterfaceAddress objects not allocated
and set in the array .... so the bindings array implicitly contains null
references.
In NetworkInterface.c the function
createNetworkInterface
performs a check on an address mask which may lead to skipping the code
block handling the InterfaceAddress allocation.
regards
Mark
