With the fix for JDK-8237072, the following test:

public inline class Test1 {
    
    int i = 2;
    Inner2.ref i2 = new Inner2();
  
    inline class Inner2 {
int c = 3;
    }
  
    static public void main(String[] args) {
Test1 t1 = new Test1();
System.out.println(t1.i + t1.i2.c);
    }
}

fails with the following error:

$ ./build/pull32/jdk/bin/java Test1
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: this
at Test1.<init>(Test1.java:4)
at Test1.main(Test1.java:11)


The error is thrown in the inline type constructor:

public static Test1 Test1();
    descriptor: ()QTest1;
