A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When we invoke java.lang.Class.arrayType() for a 255-dimension array, it unexpectedly throws an IllegalArgumentException, which is not documented.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Compile and run the given Java code.

ACTUAL -
It prints the following message to stderr:
Unexpected java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
at java.base/java.lang.reflect.Array.newArray(Native Method)
at java.base/java.lang.reflect.Array.newInstance(Array.java:78)
at java.base/java.lang.Class.arrayType(Class.java:4360)
at com.yuantj.test.Main.main(Main.java:10)

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
package com.yuantj.test;

public final class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Class<?> cls = Object.class;
        for (int i = 0; i < 255; ++i) {
            cls = cls.arrayType();
        }
        try {
            System.out.println(cls.arrayType());
        } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
            System.err.print("Unexpected ");
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Make it return null, throw an IllegalStateException, or document it.

FREQUENCY : always
