Description Casey Marshall 2004-10-23 00:49:58 UTC
GCJ erroneously looks up inner classes (usually private) before classes in other
packages.

For example, I have three files a/A.java, b/B.java, and b/C.java:

-- a/A.java:
package a;
public abstract class A
{
  public abstract void a();

  public void b()
  {
    new B().innerB();
  }

  private class B
  {
    public void innerB()
    {
      System.out.println ("inner b!");
    }
  }
}

-- b/B.java:
package b;
class B
{
  public void b()
  {
    System.out.println ("b!");
  }
}

-- b/C.java:
package b;
import a.A;
class C extends A
{
  public void a()
  {
    System.out.println ("aaa!");
  }

  public static final void main (String[] argv)
  {
    C c = new C();
    c.a();
    c.b();
    B b = new B();
    b.b();
  }
}

$ gcj -C a/A.java b/B.java b/C.java
b/C.java:15: error: Nested class a.A$B is private; cannot be accessed from here.
       B b = new B();
       ^
1 error
$ gcj --version
gcj (GCC) 3.4.2

This is easy to work around (just say "b.B b = new b.B()"), but is still
incorrect. Javac and jikes do not fail.

Confirmed.
Comment 2 Bryce McKinlay 2005-06-18 01:49:35 UTC
GCJ actually has the resolution order correct here. The problem is that a.A.B is
not visible from b.C, because its a private class. Instead of an error, however,
GCJ needs to resolve to the visible class b.B instead.

I'm testing a patch.

Log message:
	2005-07-07  Bryce McKinlay  <mckinlay@redhat.com>
	
	PR java/18119
	* parse.y (inner_class_accessible): New function. Logic moved from
	check_inner_class_access.
	(check_inner_class_access): Use inner_class_accessible.
	(resolve_inner_class): Simplify arguments. Create circularity hash
	here. Keep looking for classes if we found one that was
	inaccessible. Return the inaccessible class only if there is no other
	match.
	(do_resolve_class): Update for new resolve_inner_class arguments.
	Don't create circularity_hash here.
