A MinGW GCJ user seems to be running into bytecode verification problems with GCJ 3.2 and now GCJ 3.3: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=693547&group_id=2435&atid=102435 With 3.2, he used to get lots of "bad pc in exception_table" errors which disappeared with 3.3, but now he gets "warning: exception handler inside code that is being protected" warnings. Is this is a known issue with GCJ or could it be that his class bytecodes are really SNAFU-ed? Ranjit. PS: The order of comments in the bug report is wrong with respect to the time they were submitted, for some strange reason. -- Ranjit Mathew Email: rmathew AT hotmail DOT com Bangalore, INDIA.
