Proven by paranoid runs over lorep (17 classes, fully green),
LoVisual (4081 classes) and oc2r (1278 classes) with per-class
java -Xverify:all, each fix first reproduced as a red test:
- merge: Top absorbs instead of Top-wins (javac declares Top for
slots unwritten on some inflow; precise types reject those edges).
Regression: loop_head_keeps_top_for_loop_local.
- emit: collapse [Long|Double, Top] pairs on operand stacks
(javac writes one entry; the pair is rejected). Regression:
wide_stack_join_emits_single_entries.
- xfer ArrayLoad: push the wide pair, fixing lcmp underflow.
Regression: array_load_wide_pushes_pair.
- xfer <init>: convert only the receiver's own allocation site
instead of every Uninitialized (nested construction clobbered
the outer object). Regression: nested_construction_keeps_outer.
- xfer ANewArray: array operands gain one dimension ([B] -> [[B)
instead of an illegal L-wrap ([L[B;). Covered by the same test.
- jar load: duplicate class names (multi-release module-info
twins) keep the first occurrence instead of crashing save.
Test: duplicate_class_names_keep_first.
- strings/constants: skip methods past MAX_METHOD_INSNS (8000)
so giants cannot overflow the 64KB writer ceiling. Tests:
oversized_methods_are_skipped in both passes.
- merge errors now name both types being merged.
Also: em-dash removed repo-wide (724 spots, rule added to
todo.md), allow-lints only in tests (scratch example deleted),
code comments migrated to English in every file this change
touches.
NestHost/NestMembers were carried as Attribute::Raw with constant-pool
indices baked in. During writing the pool is rebuilt in a different order,
so those indices pointed at the wrong entries and the JVM rejected the
class: ClassFormatError: Nest member/host class_info_index N has bad
constant type.
Model them explicitly in the IR, convert on parse and write (resolving
class names through the new pool), and remap their class names during
rename. Add a NestMembers round-trip regression test. Verified on a real
jar: all Nest ClassFormatErrors gone.
