What we this:

previous result: before changeset collection.removeAll(null) do nothing if collection is empty collection.removeAll(null) NullPointerException if collection is not empty

current result: after changeset collection.removeAll(null) NullPointerException if collection is empty collection.removeAll(null) NullPointerException if collection is not empty

solutions: solution1: backout/revert changeset

solution2: patch changeset

public boolean removeAll(Collection<?> c) {
    if(!isEmpty()) Objects.requireNonNull(c);
    boolean modified = false;
    Iterator<?> it = iterator();
    while (it.hasNext()) {
        if (c.contains(it.next())) {
            it.remove();
            modified = true;
        }
    }
    return modified;
}

public boolean retainAll(Collection<?> c) {
    if(!isEmpty()) Objects.requireNonNull(c);
    boolean modified = false;
    Iterator<E> it = iterator();
    while (it.hasNext()) {
        if (!c.contains(it.next())) {
            it.remove();
            modified = true;
        }
    }
    return modified;
}

this is behaviorally compatible change.

the cause of this error is this new changeset: 4802647: Throw required NPEs from removeAll()/retainAll() current code assume that collection.removeAll(null) doesn't do anything. but with this changeset produces NullPointerException that doesn't handled. following is part of source code org/antlr/tool/**CompositeGrammar.java (see******** ) 217 /** Get delegates below direct delegates of g */ 218 public List getIndirectDelegates(Grammar g) { 219 List direct = getDirectDelegates(g); 220 List delegates = getDelegates(g); 221 delegates.removeAll(direct);********** 222 return delegates; 223 } 224 225 /** Return list of delegate grammars from root down to g. 226 * Order is root, ..., g.parent. (g not included). 227 */ 228 public List getDelegators(Grammar g) { 229 if ( g==delegateGrammarTreeRoot.**grammar ) { 230 return null;********** 231 } 232 List grammars = new ArrayList(); 233 CompositeGrammarTree t = delegateGrammarTreeRoot. **findNode(g); 234 // walk backwards to root, collecting grammars 235 CompositeGrammarTree p = t.parent; 236 while ( p!=null ) { 237 grammars.add(0, p.grammar); // add to head so in order later 238 p = p.parent; 239 } 240 return grammars; 241 } So this changeset at least breaks 'antlr' third-party library and any apps depends on. Thanks for the bug report. It does seem to have exposed a bug in antlr. Kevin Rushforth (FX) and Mike Duigou have been looking into the same thing via 8015656. -Alan.
