gcj -C / gcj verifier bug (?)

Fri Dec 7 17:04:00 GMT 2001

I tried running rhug through the gij verifier and I think it found a
`gcj -C' bug.
Here is body of com.ibm.bsf.util.type.TypeConvertorRegistry1ドル.<init>:
 0: aload_0
 1: aload_1
 2: putfield #14=<Field com.ibm.bsf.util.type.TypeConvertorRegistry1ドル.this0ドル com.ibm.bsf.util.type.TypeConvertorRegistry>
 5: aload_0
 6: invokespecial #17=<Method java.lang.Object.<init> ()void>
 9: return
Here we're using `this' before invoking the superclass <init>.
The JVM Spec 4.9.4 says:
 It must either invoke an alternative instance initialization method
 for class myClass or invoke the initialization method of a
 superclass on the this object before it is allowed to do anything
 else with this.
Is there something I'm missing? Both the JDK and gcj verifiers pass
this.
