Problem with static fields and indirect-dispatch

[Casey Marshall]

Hi, I'm seeing a problem with a 4.2.0 snapshot. The following program  
fails to run; without the patch mentioned, it still fails, but in  
`java.lang.Class.initializeClass,' not in `testbc.<clinit>'. Without  
the patch, it fails at line 1663 of link.cc, which is the `if' in:

   jstring *strp = (jstring *) f->u.addr;
   if (*strp)
     *strp = _Jv_NewStringUTF8Const ((_Jv_Utf8Const *) *strp);

Running this interpreted, or compiled directly works; compiling it  
with -findirect-dispatch and launching it with `gij' fails.

Thanks.

/*
  * Steps to reproduce:
  * 1. gcj -C testbc.java
  * 2. jar cf testbc.jar testbc.class
  * 3. gcj -shared -g -O2 -findirect-dispatch -o testbc.jar.so  
testbc.jar
  * 4. gcj-dbtool -n testbc.gcjdb 32
  * 5. gcj-dbtool -a testbc.gcjdb testbc.jar testbc.jar.so
  * 6. gij -cp testbc.jar -Dgnu.gcj.precompiled.db.path=testbc.gcjdb  
testbc
  *
  * Expected output:
  * {}
  * Actual output:
  * Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
  *   at java.lang.Class.initializeClass (natClass.cc:758)
  *   at java.lang.Class.forName (Class.h:641)
  *   at gnu.java.lang.MainThread.run (MainThread.java:95)
  * Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
  *   at testbc.<clinit> (testbc.java:5)
  *   at java.lang.Class.initializeClass (natClass.cc:750)
