java.lang.NoSuchMethodError after the inner class which has access to the private constructor of the host class is instrumented

[sam-ma]

Consider a class like this, where the inner class has access to the private constructor of the host class.

package test5;

public class NestHost3 {
  private NestHost3(Builder builder) {}
  public static Builder builder() {
    return new Builder();
  }
  public static final class Builder {
    public Builder() {}
    public NestHost3 build() {
      return new NestHost3(this);
    }
  }
}

Then the inner class is instrumented WITHOUT any modification.

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    ClassPool pool = ClassPool.getDefault();
    CtClass cc = pool.get("test5.NestHost3$Builder");
    cc.instrument(new ExprEditor() {
        public void edit(NewExpr e) throws CannotCompileException {
            String code = "$_ = $proceed($$);";
            e.replace(code);
        }
    });
    cc.writeFile();
}

A call like Section.builder().build(); will throw the following exception.

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: test5.NestHost3.<init>(Ltest5/NestHost3$Builder;Ljavassist/runtime/Inner;)V

I find this only happen when using JDK11. Probably it's related to JEP181.
