Description Thomas Hallgren 2005-02-24 15:14:37 UTC 
An inner class that references a static variable in an outer class will fail if
the super class of that outer class defines the same variable with a visibility
that makes it inaccessible to the inner class.

Java class that illustrates the problem.

Try gcj -c ScopeProblem.java. It fails with:
ScopeProblem.java:12: error: Can't access package-private field ...
Comment 2 Tom Tromey 2007-01-09 20:47:22 UTC 
All gcj front end bugs have been fixed by the gcj-eclipse branch merge.
I'm mass-closing the affected PRs.
If you believe one of these was closed in error, please reopen it
with a note explaining why.
Thanks.
