getDeclaredMethods was returning methods which were inherited from
interfaces but not (re)declared in the class itself, due to the VM's
internal use of VMClass.methodTable differing from its role in
reflection. For reflection, we must only include the declared
methods, not the inherited but un-redeclared ones.
Previously, we saved the original method table in
ClassAddendum.methodTable before creating a new one which contains
both declared and inherited methods. That wasted space, so this patch
replaces ClassAddendum.methodTable with
ClassAddendum.declaredMethodCount, which specifies how many of the
methods in VMClass.methodTable were declared in that class.
Alternatively, we could ensure that undeclared methods always have
their VMMethod.class_ field set to the declaring class instead of the
inheriting class. I tried this, but it led to subtle crashes in
interface method lookup. The rest of the VM relies not only on
VMClass.methodTable containing all inherited interface methods but
also that those methods point to the inheriting class, not the
declaring class. Changing those assumptions would be a much bigger
(and more dangerous in terms of regression potential) effort than I
care to take on right now. The solution I chose is a bit ugly, but
it's safe.
Previously, I used a shell script to extract modification date ranges
from the Git history, but that was complicated and unreliable, so now
every file just gets the same year range in its copyright header. If
someone needs to know when a specific file was modified and by whom,
they can look at the Git history themselves; no need to include it
redundantly in the header.
This fixes a couple of tests in the Scala test suite
(run/reflection-modulemirror-toplevel-badpath.scala and
run/reflection-constructormirror-nested-good.scala).
Internally, the VM augments the method tables for abstract classes
with any inherited abstract methods to make code simpler elsewhere,
but that means we can't use that table to construct the result of
Class.getDeclaredMethods since it would include methods not actually
declared in the class. This commit ensures that we preserve and use
the original, un-augmented table for that purpose.
The result of Class.getInterfaces should not include interfaces
declared to be implemented/extended by superclasses/superinterfaces,
only those declared by the class itself. This is important because it
influences how java.io.ObjectStreamClass calculates serial version
IDs.
The main change here is to use a lazily-populated vector to associate
runtime data with classes instead of referencing them directly from
the class which requires updating immutable references in the heap
image. The other changes employ other strategies to avoid trying to
update immutable references.
In order to facilitate making the VM compatible with multiple class
libraries, it's useful to separate the VM-specific representation of
these classes from the library implementations. This commit
introduces VMClass, VMField, and VMMethod for that purpose.
