GCJ silently compiles an illegal access to a package-private
class in another package.
Here's the testcase:
------------------ Snafu.java -------------------------------
public class Snafu {
public static void main( String[] args) {
foo.Bar.hello( );
}
}
-------------------------------------------------------------
------------------ foo/Bar.java -----------------------------
package foo;
class Bar {
public static void hello( ) { System.out.println( "Hello!"); }
}
-------------------------------------------------------------
Here's what JDK 1.4.2.03 on Linux says for this:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Snafu.java:3: foo.Bar is not public in foo; cannot be accessed from outside pack
age
foo.Bar.hello( );
^
Snafu.java:3: hello() in foo.Bar is not defined in a public class or interface;
cannot be accessed from outside package
foo.Bar.hello( );
^
2 errors
