I don't know if the severity might be a "blocker" but since I have a fix (which
is not so good - but works for me) I did not want to elevate the level and take
anyone away from something more important.


I'm getting an error during "make bootstrap" that halts the build.

In file included from
/cygdrive/C/makecygwin/gcc-4_2-branch/libjava/java/security/natVMAccessController.cc:17:
./java/security/VMAccessController.h:35: error: expected unqualified-id before
numeric constant

The ".java" file is here:
gcc-4_2-branch/libjava/java/security/VMAccessController.java

The ".cc" file is here:
gcc-4_2-branch/libjava/java/security/natVMAccessController.cc


The ".h" file is made here:

name=`echo classpath/lib/java/security/VMAccessController.class | sed -e
's/\.class$//' -e 's,classpath/lib/,,'`; \
        /cygdrive/C/makecygwin/gcc-4_2-branch/mkinstalldirs `dirname $name`; \
        ./../.././gcc/gcjh -d . -classpath '' -bootclasspath classpath/lib
$name


Fix: Alter
/cygdrive/c/gcc-4_2-branch-build/i686-pc-cygwin/libjava/java/security/VMAccessController.h
(a file built during the compile) by changing the ".h" file as shown below. Now
re-type "make bootstrap".


Origonal (end of created ".h" file):

class java::security::VMAccessController : public ::java::lang::Object
{
private:
  static void debug (::java::lang::String *);
  VMAccessController ();
public: // actually package-private
  static void pushContext (::java::security::AccessControlContext *);
  static void popContext ();
  static ::java::security::AccessControlContext *getContext ();
private:
  static JArray< ::java::lang::Object *> *getStack ();
  static ::java::security::AccessControlContext *DEFAULT_CONTEXT;
  static const jint DEBUG = 1L;
public:

  static ::java::lang::Class class$;
};



New:

class java::security::VMAccessController : public ::java::lang::Object
{
private:
  static void debug (::java::lang::String *);
  VMAccessController ();
public: // actually package-private
  static void pushContext (::java::security::AccessControlContext *);
  static void popContext ();
  static ::java::security::AccessControlContext *getContext ();
private:
  static JArray< ::java::lang::Object *> *getStack ();
  static ::java::security::AccessControlContext *DEFAULT_CONTEXT;
#define DEBUG_TMP DEBUG
#undef DEBUG
  static const jint DEBUG = 1L;
#define DEBUG DEBUG_TMP 
public:

  static ::java::lang::Class class$;
};


I am reluctant to change the ".java" or ".cc" for fear of breaking something.
The file gcc-4_2-branch/libjava/java/security/VMAccessController.java defines
the following:

  private static final boolean DEBUG = gnu.classpath.Configuration.DEBUG;


Java wants the name "DEBUG" but so does something else (the compiler) so I get
the error "expected unqualified-id before numeric constant". The ".ii" file
(without my fix) makes the line in question "static const jint DEBUG = 1L;"
change to "static const jint = 1L;".

The compiler simply defines the word "DEBUG" to "" (empty string). My 'fix'
saves the value (in case it is ever defined) and restores it immediately after
it is finished.

Unfortunatley my fix requires you to wait until the file is made, and edit it
before it is used - there is enough time to do that but you need to be there at
the right time. Alternatley I can wait for the make to fail, edit the file and
continue.


I examined the ".ii" file and there are only two lines with the word 
"debug/DEBUG" in them: 
static void debug (::java::lang::String *);  and  static const jint DEBUG = 1L;

Only the capitalized word 'DEBUG' is affected, there are no other occurances of
the
word "DEBUG" in the ".ii" file so it must be a hidden internal compiler word.


If I check the "-D"'s for both my cc1.exe's I get this:

gcc/xgcc -g -v test.c

The is no "-DDEBUG" anywhere and only the one "DEBUG" in the ".h" file. The
compiler (both version 3.4.4 and 4.2.0) will not accept a ".h" file with the
word "DEBUG" in it.

I'm not a java expert and I don't want to break the person's work. Even if
the fix is to add a sed command to the Makefile (for the cygwin) platform
I'd be happy. 

I can't help but imagine that the word "DEBUG" is a protected word - much like
"unix", "__CYGWIN__", "__GNUC__", "WINVER" - and should not be used as a
variable.
