StackOverflowError

  May this list be the wrong place to discuss it, but:

  The following code is not a Mauve compatibility test, but it does work different between Sun Microsystems' Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0_02-b05, mixed mode) and gij (GNU libgcj) version 4.2.1 (Debian 4.2.1-5).

Hi Pedro,

You'd have a better chance of reaching gcj developers by using the gcj
mailing list. Or its bugtracker.

cheers,

Afaict, no. Consider VirtualMachineError or InternalError. See also the
JVM spec:

"The class Error and its standard subclasses are exceptions from which
ordinary programs are not ordinarily expected to recover. The class
Error is a separate subclass of Throwable, distinct from Exception in
the class hierarchy, in order to allow programs to use the idiom

        } catch (Exception e) {

to catch all exceptions from which recovery may be possible without
catching errors from which recovery is typically not possible. "

  I forgot to ask:

  Must a conforming JVM enable applications to catch all java.lang.Error subclasses?

  If the answer is yes, Mauve should include such tests.
