[jira] [Commented] (GROOVY-12361) CachedMethod DirectInvoker: trampoline for a hidden declaring class throws NoClassDefFoundError on first invoke

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-12361?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=18111959#comment-18111959 ]

   The generated trampoline names the declaring class, the return type and the parameter types in its bytecode (CHECKCAST, INVOKE*, or the classData invokeExact descriptor). A hidden class cannot be resolved by name, so the trampoline for e.g. a ProxyGeneratorAdapter proxy defined and initialised fine but threw NoClassDefFoundError on first invoke once the method passed the generation threshold. tryCreate now sticky-declines when any of those types is hidden, keeping the reflective path.

> The generated {{DirectInvoker}} trampoline from GROOVY-12325 names the target method's declaring class in its bytecode ({{CHECKCAST}} on the receiver, {{INVOKEVIRTUAL}}/{{INVOKEINTERFACE}} on the declaring type, or the {{invokeExact}} descriptor on the classData path). When that declaring class is a *hidden class* (JEP 371), the name is not resolvable by any class loader: the trampoline defines and initialises fine, but the first call through it fails with {{NoClassDefFoundError}}. The error escapes {{CachedMethod.invoke}} as-is because generation is sticky-successful and the failure only happens at invocation time.
> Groovy itself produces hidden declaring classes: {{ProxyGeneratorAdapter}} defines its proxies as hidden nestmates (GROOVY-12223) whenever the superclass is on the same loader as Groovy, so any map-as-abstract-class coercion of an application-classpath type is affected once the method has been invoked {{groovy.cachedmethod.invoker.threshold}} times (default 1000).
> h3. Reproducer
> Precompile so that {{Shape}} sits next to the Groovy jar on the application class path (a script compiled by {{GroovyClassLoader}} gets an ordinary, non-hidden proxy and does not reproduce):
> {code:groovy}
> abstract class Shape { abstract String name() }
> class ProxyRepro {
>     static void main(String[] args) {
>         def s = [name: { 'circle' }] as Shape
>         println "hidden proxy: " + s.getClass().isHidden()
>         // two cold call sites share the CachedMethod; its hit count reaches the
>         // trampoline threshold while each indy site is still below its own
>         600.times { assert s.name() == 'circle' }
>         600.times { assert s.name() == 'circle' }
>         println "ok"
>     }
> }
> {code}

> $ java -cp groovy-6.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar org.codehaus.groovy.tools.FileSystemCompiler -d out ProxyRepro.groovy
> $ java -cp groovy-6.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar:out ProxyRepro
> hidden proxy: true
> Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Shape1_groovyProxy/0x0000007001120000

> A single call site masks the bug because the indy site promotes to the full method-handle chain at the same hit count (1000) and stops going through {{CachedMethod.invoke}}; two sites sharing the method, any MOP-path invocation ({{invokeMethod}}, categories, per-instance metaclass, {{@Delegate}} etc.), or {{-Dgroovy.cachedmethod.invoker.threshold=0}} exposes it. Setting either {{-Dgroovy.indy.cold.reflection=false}} or {{-Dgroovy.cachedmethod.invoker.disable=true}} avoids it. JDK 21, Groovy master (6.0.0-SNAPSHOT).
> h3. Fix
> {{InvokerFactory.tryCreate}} should decline (sticky null, so {{CachedMethod.invoke}} stays reflective) when the declaring class, the return type or any parameter type (array components included) {{isHidden()}}. All four define steps are affected, including Step 3 (classData), whose {{invokeExact}} descriptor also names the type. {{InvokerFactoryTest.testDefineStepsFallsThroughToClassDataForHiddenNonPublicHost}} currently asserts the opposite and even notes that the resulting trampoline must not be invoked; it needs to assert {{null}} instead. A fix with tests is available on branch {{groovy12354spike}} (the {{allTypesNameable}} gate).
