[Bug java/18119] New: GCJ imports inner classes too eagarly

[csm at gnu dot org]

GCJ erroneously looks up inner classes (usually private) before classes in other
packages.

For example, I have three files a/A.java, b/B.java, and b/C.java:

-- a/A.java:
package a;
public abstract class A
{
  public abstract void a();

  public void b()
  {
    new B().innerB();
  }

  private class B
  {
    public void innerB()
    {
      System.out.println ("inner b!");
    }
  }
}

-- b/B.java:
package b;
class B
{
  public void b()
  {
    System.out.println ("b!");
  }
}

-- b/C.java:
package b;
import a.A;
class C extends A
{
  public void a()
  {
    System.out.println ("aaa!");
  }

  public static final void main (String[] argv)
  {
    C c = new C();
    c.a();
    c.b();
    B b = new B();
    b.b();
  }
}

$ gcj -C a/A.java b/B.java b/C.java
b/C.java:15: error: Nested class a.A$B is private; cannot be accessed from here.
       B b = new B();
       ^
1 error
$ gcj --version
gcj (GCC) 3.4.2

This is easy to work around (just say "b.B b = new b.B()"), but is still
incorrect. Javac and jikes do not fail.
