The name symbol for hidden (anonymous) classes has evolved. Initially, it consisted of only a base class name, e.g., "java/lang/invoke/LambdaForm$BMH", so JFR had to introduce a scheme for disambiguating one anonymous class from another.

The scheme (which still exists in JFR) appends the Java class mirror's hashcode to the base class name, e.g., "java/lang/invoke/LambdaForm$BMH/22626602".

With JDK-8238358, the disambiguation of hidden class names is now intrinsic to the processing by the ClassFileParser. This is done by appending the InstanceKlass address to the base class name, e.g., "java/lang/invoke/LambdaForm$BMH+0x000000001d190000".

An argument can be made that JFR specialization for hidden (anonymous) classes may no longer be necessary. Indeed, the result now involves a "double" disambiguation: e.g., "java/lang/invoke/LambdaForm$BMH+0x000000001d190000/231202600".

It is now possible to simplify the handling of hidden (anonymous) class names, which avoids using the Java mirror oop. We might want to keep the "/" construct as that might be an implicit invariant on users' expectations (quickly done by replacing "+" with "/").
