[ Since I am sponsoring this patch, I think jcheck needs one more Reviewer besides myself]

Neil,

looking at your webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ntoda/8046545/webrev-02/

Can we not re-use the existing macro for null check ?

#define NULL_CHECK_RETURN_VALUE(NCRV_check_pointer, NCRV_return_value)

so thus your new macro would become....

+#define CHECK_JNI_RETURN(JNIRETURN, RETURNVALUE) \

Thanks Kumar. Yes, misspoke here. Will correct the comment. On 7/18/2014 10:35 AM, Kumar Srinivasan wrote: Neil, The fix looks good. However there is an inaccuracy in the comment:

+ * Normally, JNI calls do not return if an exception is thrown. + * However, this behavior can change in the future, + * so check for thrown exceptions. This is not true, JNI calls will return if an exception is thrown, however best JNI practices dictate that a pending Exception(s) must be cleared or caught, before attempting another JNI call. Under such circumstances the return value will usually be an error or a null value. I suggest making this change to reflect this. Thanks Kumar
