Java: Remove NOP_EXPR from method invocations


Method inlining in the gcj frontend has never really worked.  Part
of the problem is that patch_invoke() wraps the operand of a CALL_EXPR
inside a NOP_EXPR.  This has the effect of hiding the function from the
integrator.  It is also different from how the other frontends build
CALL_EXPRs.

I don't understand the reason for the NOP_EXPR in patch_invoke, other than
to fix the expr type.  This patch eliminates it, allowing the integrator
to work and save a small bit of memory as well.  The comment about
self_type seems to be historic-- class initialization is done elsewhere.

I tested this with the mainline on i686-pc-linux-gnu.

2001-03-16  Jeff Sturm  <jsturm@one-point.com>

	* java/parse.y (patch_invoke): Don't build a NOP_EXPR.  Fix
	the TREE_TYPE instead.
	(check_final_variable_indirect_assignment): Expect to find decl
	in a ADDR_EXPR node (instead of NOP_EXPR followed by ADDR_EXPR).
