hasClassInitializer and exception

[Nicolas Geoffray]

Hey everyone,

there is something that might be wrong in the implementation of 
VMObjectStreamClass.hasClassInitializer 
(native/jni/java-io/java_io_VMObjectStreamClass.c). It uses 
GetStaticMethodID and tests if an exception occured to see if the clinit 
method exists.

The thing is, in the spec, GetStaticMethodID has to clinit the class. 
Imagine there is a clinit and the clinit raises and exception, the 
result of hasClassInitializer would be false.

I have no patch to propose to you, but what i did (as a vm implementor) 
is reimplementing the VMObjectStreamClass.hasClassInitializer function, 
which now does the search without cliniting the class (so it doesn't use 
jni directly anymore).

Am I right?

Nicolas
