Hi,

Could someone please review my webrev and CSR for JDK-8237890 'DatagramPacket::getSocketAddress doesn't specify what happens if address or port are not set' ?

DatagramPacket::getSocketAddress is misleading in that it can throw an IllegalArgumentException even though it doesn't take any arguments. This can occur if the port of a DatagramPacket is not set before a call to getSocketAddress is made.

In the recent fixJDK-8236940 <https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8236940>, additional checks were addedto ensure DatagramPacket cannot besent to port 0. Following on from this update,the current fix changes the default port of a DatagramPacket from -1 to 0. An IllegalArgumentException will therefore no longer be thrown when getSocketAddress with no port set. Instead, an InetSocketAddress representing any local address with port 0 is returned.
