Description jmr 2002-08-24 00:26:02 UTC
	In _Jv_ResolvePoolEntry, if no method is found in the 
	JV_CONSTANT_Methodref/JV_CONSTANT_InterfaceMethodref case,
	_Jv_DetermineVTableIndex may be called with found_class == NULL,
	causing a NullPointerException when _Jv_DetermineVTableIndex
	calls getSuperclass().

Release:
3.3 20020820 (experimental)

Environment:
System: Linux churchill 2.4.3-12 #1 Fri Jun 8 15:05:56 EDT 2001 i686 unknown
Architecture: i686

	
host: i686-pc-linux-gnu
build: i686-pc-linux-gnu
target: i686-pc-linux-gnu
configured with: ../gcc/configure --prefix=/home/user/jmr/app/gcc --enable-langs=c++,java --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --with-as=/home/user/jmr/app/binutils/bin/as --with-ld=/home/user/jmr/app/binutils/bin/ld

How-To-Repeat:
	I haven't reduced it to a small test case yet, but it is clear
	that some error other than NullPointerException should be reported.
Comment 1 jmr 2002-08-24 00:26:02 UTC
Fix:
I'm not sure about this, but it does get rid of the NullPointerException,
and since the_method is not modified by the code I moved, perhaps the
author intended the the_method == 0 check to go first.
