[Bug libgcj/24616] linking BC-compiled classes: NoClassDefFoundErrors should be deferred

aph, this would be your test case right?

class T {
  void fail(){
      System.out.println("fail-0");
      M m = new M();

      System.out.println("fail-1");
      m.test();
  }
}

// Bytecode removed
class M {
  void test(){
  }
}

Considered that someone calls fail on a T object a NoClassDefFoundError should
be thrown immediately?

I think this is not right and that is why I put the println() invocations into
the method. What I observed is that the interpreter runs the code until it
reaches a situation where it cannot continue. In the above example this is the
instantiation of the M class.

My patch already addresses this by making M a phantom class.
