>Description:
Compiling the following test code results in the error
"Test.java:8: internal error in check-init: tree code not implemented: pointer_type"

also, replacing the interface method with a "void" method gives the
similar error
"Test.java:7: internal error in check-init: tree code not implemented: void_type"
>How-To-Repeat:
public interface A
{
  String getStr();
}

public class B implements A
{
  public String getStr()
  {
    return "foo";
  }
}

public class Test
{
  public static void main(String args[])
  {
    Object obj = new B();
    String s;
    if (obj instanceof A)
      s = ((A) obj).getStr();  
  }
}
