>Organization:
>Environment:
GCJ (Linux and Win32 verified)
>Description:
Cast a gnu.gcj.RawData to Object and then back. When
casting back, the code will throw a NullPointerException --
I assume this is because the gcj-generated code is attempting
to follow the Class pointer (which RawData does not have).
>How-To-Repeat:
import java.io.*;
import gnu.gcj.RawData;

public class test {

    public static native RawData foo();

    public static RawData bar(Object o) {
        return (RawData)o;
    }

    public static void main(String[] s) throws Exception {
        bar(foo());
    }

}



#include<gcj/cni.h>
#include<gnu/gcj/RawData.h>
#include "test.h"

gnu::gcj::RawData* test::foo() {
       return (gnu::gcj::RawData*)73;
}

    Not a bug. It isn't possible to cast a non-Java object in Java code, even if its a RawData.
