Re: [PATCH] [JAVA] Double.parseDouble(null) throw NullPointerException

[Jie Liu <lj8175@gmail.com>]

Hi Tom,

RTEMS does not have virtual memory management, so there is no error
when access the 0 address on rtems.
So 'str->length()' donot throw NPE and just return an meaningless value.

Ps: There is a test:
http://code.google.com/p/rtemsgcj/source/browse/trunk/algorithm/20110810NPE/?r=127,
npe.c is the main file and *.scn is the output.

Thanks,
Jie

Hi,

When I use gcj on an RTOS(RTEMS), Double.parseDouble(null) throw
NumberFormatException, but it should throw NullPointerException. So I
add the patch below:

   while (length > 0

The testsuite/Throw_2.java has been PASS after this patch. what do you
think about this patch?

Thanks,
