GCJ 3.3 seems to allow a class to access the package-private
methods of a different class even though this is not
permitted by the JLS.
Here's a simple testcase:
------------------- File: foo/Bar.java --------------------
package foo;
public class Bar {
static void snafu( ) { }
}
---------------------------- 8< ----------------------------
------------------- File: ChkAcc.java ----------------------
public class ChkAcc {
public void checkAccess( ) { foo.Bar.snafu( ); }
}
---------------------------- 8< ----------------------------
GCJ wrongly allows ChkAcc.java to compile successfully.
Note that this works with non-static methods as well.
It also works if a class in a named package accesses
package-private methods in the anonymous "default"
package.
