>Description:
This is a source parser bug.
gcj can fail to report an "exception must be caught or
thrown" error depending on how the method that throws the
exception is invoked.
>How-To-Repeat:
The following code demonstrates the problem:
public class MustCatchOrThrow
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
new MustCatchOrThrow().test();
}
private void test() throws Exception
{
throw new Exception();
}
}
If the test method is invoked as follows, gcj correctly
reports an error:
MustCatchOrThrow m = new MustCatchOrThrow();
m.test();

>Release-Note:
Libgcj's java/net should be updated in order to compile
with the patches compiler. See
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/ml/java-patches/1999-q3/msg00048.html
