> Some code added by [JDK-8372700](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8372700) > can compute the constant value of a field of a (flatten) element in a flat > array. We get a crash when the element of the array is known to be `null`, > and so the field doesn't exist. > > So, let's just check in `ciConstant ciFlatArray::field_value(int index, > ciField* field)` whether we get a null constant before interpreting it as a > `ciInstance` and trying to retrieve a field from there. This should be enough > since a `ciObject` is (directly) derived by `ciNullObject`, `ciInstance` and > `ciArray`. Since we are looking up a value of a flat array, an element cannot > be a `ciArray` (arrays have identities and can't be contained in a flat > array). After looking up whether the flat array element is null, the > `obj->as_instance()` cast acts as an assert, should we ever add another > derived class from `ciObject`. > > In case of a null array element, `field_value` simply returns an invalid > `ciConstant`. > > Tested with > tier1,tier2,tier3,hs-precheckin-comp,hs-comp-stress,valhalla-comp-stress. > Looks good. > > Thanks, > Marc
