gcc version 2.96 20000525 (experimental)
>Description:
It is legal in Java for class to declare a method with the
same name as a default (package-private) method in a
foreign-package superclass.
However, because it is invisible to the sub-class, the
method should NOT override the superclasses method
declaration.
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile the following code:
// file: pkg1/A.java
package pkg1;
public class A
{
void foo ()
{
System.out.println ("A.foo()");
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
A x = new pkg2.B();
x.foo();
}
}
// file: pkg2/B.java
package pkg2;
public class B extends pkg1.A
{
protected void foo ()
{
System.out.println("B.foo()");
}
}
The correct output (as tested on IBM JDK 1.1.8 and Sun 1.2.2)
should read:
$ java pkg1.A
A.foo()
The gcj-compiled output is:
$ ./pkg
B.foo()
