[Bug java/20169] New: Serialization: readResolve does not work

[bonniot at users dot sf dot net]

I attach a simple Java class, which exercises the readResolve method. An object
is serialzed and deserialized from a byte array. Because of the readResolve
method, the object read back should be the exact same instance. This works with
JDK, but fails with both gij and gcj, as of today. It also fails with other free
runtimes: kaffe (1.1.4.PRECVS8) and jamvm (1.2.3), so it could be a GNU
classpath issue.

Here is the testcase:
///////////////////////////////////

import java.io.*;

public abstract class Enum implements Serializable
{
  static Enum instance;

  Object readResolve() {
    return instance;
  }

  static class Color extends Enum
  {
    static final Color red = new Color();

    static { instance = red; }
  }

  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    try {
      ByteArrayOutputStream outb = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
      ObjectOutputStream outs = new ObjectOutputStream(outb);
      outs.writeObject(Color.red);
      byte[] store = outb.toByteArray();

      ByteArrayInputStream inb = new ByteArrayInputStream(store);
      ObjectInputStream ins = new ObjectInputStream(inb);

      Color color = (Color) ins.readObject();
      System.out.println(color);
      System.out.println(Color.red);
      System.out.println(color == Color.red);
    }
    catch (Throwable e) {
      throw new Error(e);
    }
  }
}
