2017-07-20ART: Change method lookup to be more consistent to JLS and the RI.Vladimir Marko
The method lookup for different invoke types was previously widely different and didn't work well with the dex cache method array where we have only a single slot for each MethodId. The new behavior is to perform the same lookup for all cases, distinguishing only between interface and non-interface referencing class, and to further align the behavior with the JLS and the RI. Where the JLS conflicts with the RI, we follow the JLS semantics. The new lookup for class methods first searches the methods declared in the superclass chain (ignoring "copied" methods) and only then looks in the "copied" methods. If the search in the superclass chain finds a method that has not been inherited (i.e. either a private method or a package-access method where one of the classes in the chain does not belong to the same package, see JLS 8.4.8), we still search the "copied" methods as there may actually be a method inherited from an interface. This follows the JLS semantics where inherited methods are included in the search (JLS 15.12.2.1) but conflicts with the RI where the private or package-access method takes precedence over methods inherited from interfaces. Note that this search can find an accessible method that is not inherited by the qualifying type, either for a package access method when the referrer is in the same package but the qualifying type is in another package, or for a private method where the referrer is in the same class but the qualifying type is actually a subclass. For the moment we allow such calls and we shall consider whether to throw an IncompatibleClassChangeError in this situation in future to comply with JLS 15.12.4.3. The new lookup for interface methods searches the interface class, then all the superinterfaces and then the java.lang.Object class, see implicitly declared methods in interfaces, JLS 9.2. The search for the maximally-specific non-abstract superinterface method is not yet implemented, but the difference should be difficult to observe as the usual subsequent call to FindVirtualMethodForInterface() should yield the same result for any matching method. The new test 162-method-idx-clash exposes several cases where we previously completely messed up due to the effects of the DexCache, or where we were out of line with the RI. It also tests a case where the JLS and the RI disagree and we follow the JLS.
