[Bug java/32638] Wrong selection of field in inner class when outer class and super class have a relevant filed named the same

[tromey at gcc dot gnu dot org]

I tried this with svn trunk and got 'false'.
If there is a bug here it is in ecj, not gcj.

I'm not sure I agree with your interpretation here.
I don't see how specificity applies.  Isn't that term only used
for overload resolution?  It's been a while since I was completely
familiar with the JLS, though ... where are you reading?

IMO the JLS could be clearer here, but I believe the local 'o'
shadows the field a.o.  See:

http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/third_edition/html/names.html#34133

Anyway, I suggest filing against ecj or perhaps the JDK for resolution.
