Javac-related exceptions are thrown when building Native Images with GraalVM 23.1.1 For JDK 21.0.1

[linghengqian]

Describe the issue
A clear and concise description of the issue. We recommend using the latest snapshot builds to replicate the issue as bugs are constantly being fixed in the master branch

• Javac-related exceptions are thrown when building Native Images with GraalVM 23.1.1 For JDK 21.0.1.

Error: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: java.lang.ClassCastException: class jdk.vm.ci.meta.NullConstant cannot be cast to class org.graalvm.compiler.core.common.type.TypedConstant (jdk.vm.ci.meta.NullConstant is in module jdk.internal.vm.ci of loader 'bootstrap'; org.graalvm.compiler.core.common.type.TypedConstant is in module jdk.internal.vm.compiler of loader 'platform')

• I created a reproduce example for this Error Log in https://github.com/linghengqian/shardingsphere-graalvm-v2311-native-test .

• This Error Log was found in Update the infra-expr-espresso module related GraalVM CE version to 23.1.1 apache/shardingsphere#28609 .

Steps to reproduce the issue
Please include both build steps as well as run steps

1. [e.g.: git clone --depth 1 https://git.myrepo.com/projectone ]
2. [e.g.: mvn clean package]

• On the new Ubuntu 22.04.3 instance, execute the following command:

sudo apt install unzip zip curl sed -y
curl -s "https://get.sdkman.io" | bash
source "$HOME/.sdkman/bin/sdkman-init.sh"
sdk install java 21.0.1-graalce
sdk use java 21.0.1-graalce

git clone git@github.com:apache/shardingsphere.git
cd ./shardingsphere/
git reset --hard 5575f8bf0764d84693304e498bc5806b25dcd7e0
./mvnw clean install -Prelease -T1C -DskipTests -Djacoco.skip=true -Dcheckstyle.skip=true -Drat.skip=true -Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true

cd ../

git clone git@github.com:linghengqian/shardingsphere-graalvm-v2311-native-test.git
cd ./shardingsphere-graalvm-v2311-native-test/
./gradlew -Pagent clean test
./gradlew metadataCopy --task test
./gradlew clean nativeTest

Describe GraalVM and your environment:

• GraalVM version (latest snapshot builds can be found here), or commit id if built from source: [e.g. EE 19.3, CE 20.0, CE 20.1.0-dev-20200304_0848] CE 23.1.1
• JDK major version: [e.g.:8] 21
• OS: [e.g. macOS Catalina] Ubuntu 22.04.3
• Architecture: [e.g.: AMD64] AMD64

More details
Consider adding the --native-image-info and --verbose flags when building your native image and paste output below.

Add any other information about the problem here. Especially important are stack traces or log output. Feel free to link to gists or to screenshots if necessary.

$ ./gradlew clean nativeTest

• @fernando-valdez I completed the verification at Updates the minimum GraalVM CE version for compiling ShardingSphere's Native Image products to JDK 21.0.2 apache/shardingsphere#29764. GraalVM For JDK 21.0.2 containing the fix from [GR-50854] Fix clinit simulation for arraycopy with null values. #8039 resolves the current issue.
• Can I close the current issue now?
