[cp-patches] RFC: Class/VMClass patch

[Jeroen Frijters]

Hi,

I'd like to change the Class/VMClass interface for
VMClass.getModifiers() to differentiate between getting the modifiers as
reported by Class.getModifiers() and the modifiers as used by
Class.newInstance() to implement the access check.

Testing shows that the JDK always uses the actual class modifiers to do
the access check (i.e. it ignores the modifiers in the InnerClasses
attribute), but Class.getModifiers() returns the modifiers from the
InnerClasses attribute (obviously only if the class is an inner class).

Regards,
Jeroen

        * java/lang/Class.java (getModifiers, newInstance): Changed call
to VMClass.getModifiers().
        * vm/reference/java/lang/VMClass.java (getModifiers(Class,
boolean)): New method.
