>Description:
While trying to compile the kaffe rmi classes
I found this:
 
The rmi implementation defines a class called
LogStream which extends PrintStream:
 
import java.io.*;
 
public class LogStream
        extends PrintStream {
 
private LogStream(OutputStream s) {
  super(s);
}
 
public void setOutputStream(OutputStream s) {
        out = s;
}
 
}
 
$ gcj LogStream.java
 
gives:
 
LogStream.java: In class `LogStream':
LogStream.java: In method `LogStream.setOutputStream(java.io.OutputStream)':
LogStream.java:13: Incompatible type for `='. Explicit cast needed to convert `java.io.OutputStream' to `java.io.BufferedOutputStream'.
        out = s;
               ^
1 error
 
This is a correct error message because the libjava
PrintStream class defines 'out' as BufferedOutputStream.
Is the suggestion correct to remove the out from PrintStream?
