>Description:
gcj fails to find a type that should (I think) be visible. javac and jikes
compile the code successfully. gcj compiles some variations of this code
correctly, so I'm not sure of the exact problem.
>How-To-Repeat:
Test case:
class Test extends Best {
{
new Object() {
public void foo() {
Rest r;
}
};
}
}
class Best {
protected static class Rest { }
}
Output:
Test.java:5: Type `Rest' not found in the declaration of the local variable `r'.
Rest r;
^
1 error
I could not find a simpler failure case. Rest can normally be accessed from
within Test, as expected. It seems to be only within a block in the
anonymous class that there is a problem. For example, a member variable in
the anonymous class of type Rest is ok.
