>Description:
gcj permits assigment to array length member, resulting in
either buffer overruns (when compiling to native) or invalid
bytecode (when compiling to bytecode).
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile and run the program below (it should dump core):
public class ArrayTest {
public static void fill(int[] a) {
for (int i = 0; i < a.length; i++) {
a[i] = i;
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
int[] a = new int[3];
fill(a);
a.length = 3000;
fill(a);
}
}
>Fix:
Modify gcj to report the error.
