Description
JNI exception pending in initializeEncoding of jni_util.c:856
The returns are not checked.
    String_init_ID = (*env)->GetMethodID(env, strClazz,
                                          "<init>", "([BLjava/lang/String;)V");
    String_coder_ID = (*env)->GetFieldID(env, strClazz, "coder", "B");
    String_value_ID = (*env)->GetFieldID(env, strClazz, "value", "[B");
Comments
Fix Request (8u) Backporting this one keeps codebases in sync when dealing with corner cases. This one depends on JDK-8030993. Patch does not apply cleanly, because it expects Compact Strings that are not available in 8u. Left only "CHECK_NULL(String_init_ID);" from the original patch. Passes hotspot_all, java/lang, java/io, java/nio tests. 8u RFR: https://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk8u-dev/2019-June/009599.html
