Patch: PR 8003


This patch fixes PR 8003.

In this PR, a syntax error causes gcj to SEGV.  It happens because
when trying to give a nicer error message, we reference `java_lval' in
an invalid way -- we use the incorrect field.  (java_lval is a union,
and the `node' field is not always valid.  That is what happens in
this case.)

I tried fixing this a different way.  I added a new
variable_declarator_id rule which matched (at the end)
`OSB_TK expression error'.  This let us continue to print the "can't
specify array dimension" error.  However, this has the side effect of
giving a different error if an invalid expression is used after the
`['.  It seems weird to give such an error if, after fixing the
expression, the result is still invalid.

Based on this, I chose the simpler, but somewhat less friendly,
approach of simply emitting the "missing ]" error in all cases.

Ok to commit?
