Subject: [Bug libgcj/17021] New: gij: class resolution throws errors too eagerly
Date: Fri, 13 Aug 2004 21:07:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040813210724.17021.mckinlay@redhat.com> (raw)

NoClassDefFoundError should only be thrown if a code path that attempts to use
the missing class is actually used. GIJ, however, throws the error too early.
This can be seen by compiling the following test case and deleting the class
file for "Bar".

$ gcj -C Foo.java Bar.java 
$ rm Bar.class 
$ gij Foo

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: while resolving
class: Foo 
   at java.lang.ClassLoader.resolveClass0(java.lang.Class)
(/usr/lib/libgcj.so.4.0.0)
   at java.lang.Class.initializeClass() (/usr/lib/libgcj.so.4.0.0)
   at java.lang.Class.forName(java.lang.String, boolean, java.lang.ClassLoader)
(/usr/lib/libgcj.so.4.0.0)
...

public class Foo
{
  public boolean missing_class_code_path = false;

  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    new Foo().j();
  }

  void j()
  {
    if (missing_class_code_path)
      new Bar().x();
  }
}

public class Bar 
{
  public void x() {}
}
