mainline Java in much better shape...

Fri Apr 27 02:44:00 GMT 2001

For the first time in weeks, mainline Java builds, completes its
regression suite in a reasonable interval (ten minutes), and has fewer
than 100 failures.
 === libjava Summary ===
# of expected passes 1486
# of unexpected failures 65
# of unexpected successes 6
# of expected failures 18
# of untested testcases 141
Almost all the unexpected failures are of the form
ArrayClass.java: In class `ArrayClass':
ArrayClass.java: In method `class$(java.lang.String)':
ArrayClass.java:0: expected type 'int' but stack contains 'java.lang.ClassNotFoundException'
ArrayClass.java:0: verification error at PC=7
ArrayClass.java:0: expected type 'null' but stack contains 'int'
FAIL: ArrayClass compilation from bytecode
The method and PC obviously vary with the test case. Also, the
precise thing on the stack when it's expecting an int varies, but it's
always java.lang.SomeSortOfException or java.lang.Throwable. Twice,
the second expected/found pair was java.lang.Object/int not null/int.
Everything else is the same always.
