           Summary: extra qualification required if multiple .java basenames
                    on command line
           Product: gcc
           Version: 3.3.1
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: java
        AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org
        ReportedBy: bart at sabl dot com
                CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org
 GCC build triplet: i686-pc-linux-gnu
  GCC host triplet: i686-pc-linux-gnu
GCC target triplet: i686-pc-linux-gnu

so far i have been unable to condense the problem into a small example. here's
the gist, though. if you have the following 3 files:

j/a/X.java:
package a;
public interface X {
}
j/b/Y.java:
package b;
import c.X;
public class Y extends X { // will require explicit c.X ref
}
j/c/X.java:
package c;
public class X {
}

and then compile them into .class files with

gcj -C -d class -classpath class:j `find j -name '*.java'`

the behavior is that X in "extends X" in j/b/Y.java is taken as a.X rather than
the explicitly imported c.X.

the given example does NOT reproduce this bug, unfortunately. i don't know if
this is because i am characterizing the problem wrong or if it's a problem of scale.

i ran across it trying to compile the xalan package in rhug
(http://sources.redhat.com/rhug) using a makefile that compiles all the .java
files in each package at once.

at this point i don't know a way of reproducing this short of pulling the rhug
tree from cvs and using the following makefile instead:

F=--encoding=8859_1

all: xalan.o

regexp.o:       jakarta-regexp/upstream/src
        gcj -C $F -d class -classpath class:$< `alljava $<`
        gcj -c -o $@ $F -classpath class:$< `alljava $<`

xerces.o:       xerces/upstream/src regexp.o
        gcj -C $F -d class -classpath class:$< `alljava $<`
        gcj -c -o $@ $F -classpath class:$< `alljava $<`

cup.o:  cup/upstream
        gcj -C $F -d class -classpath class:$< `alljava $<`
        gcj -c -o $@ $F -classpath class:$< `alljava $<`

bcel.o: BCEL/upstream/src/java regexp.o
        gcj -C $F -d class -classpath class:$< `alljava $< | grep -v verifier`
        gcj -c -o $@ $F -classpath class:$< `alljava $< | grep -v verifier`

xalan.o:        xalan/upstream/src regexp.o xerces.o bcel.o cup.o
        gcj -C $F -d class -classpath class:$< `alljava $<`
        gcj -c -o $@ $F -classpath class:$< `alljava $<`

clean:
        rm -rf *.o class/*

where alljava is defined as:

#!/bin/sh
find ${1:-.} -name '*.java' | sed 's;^\./;;'

the first error you will get from this looks valid - a class that should be
declared public but isn't - but every one from that point on is this
qualification thing.

here is the list of cvs diffs that successfully work around this issue:
