>Environment:
I was running this on a Red Hat 5.2 box (Intel). I compile
egcs and libjava from the CVS today (Sat Apr 8 2000).
>Description:
I tried to compile the following two classes.

// File InnerClass.java

public class InnerClass {
    public class MyInner {}
}

// File InnerClass_Test.java

public class InnerClass_Test extends InnerClass {
    void foo() {
	MyInner mi = new MyInner();	
    }
}


I can compile them just fine with javac and jikes,
but gcj does not seem to know that it should look
inside the scope of it's superclass for class names.

% javac InnerClass.java InnerClass_Test.java 

% jikes InnerClass.java InnerClass_Test.java

% rm *.class

% gcj -c InnerClass.java InnerClass_Test.java
InnerClass_Test.java:5: Type `MyInner' not found in the declaration of the local variable `mi'.
        MyInner mi = new MyInner();

Now here is where it gets a little strange.
If you do the following, you get a different error.

% gcj -C InnerClass.java

% ls *.class
InnerClass$MyInner.class  InnerClass.class

% gcj -C InnerClass_Test.java
InnerClass_Test.java: In class `InnerClass_Test':
InnerClass_Test.java: In method `foo()':
InnerClass_Test.java:5: No enclosing instance for inner class `InnerClass$MyInner' is in scope; an explicit one must be provided when creating this inner class.
        MyInner mi = new MyInner();
                         ^
1 error



Either way, gcj is broken. It should look in the super
class to find the class in the first case, and it should
not give the second error if a .class file for the
super class is found.
