Oh yes - since my Jacks CVS check out is under
$GCC_CVS_TREE/libjava/testsuite/libjava.jacks, Jacks is always
tested with as a part of any testsuite run. In this particular
case, I had posted the Jacks changes due to my patch for PR 9685
earlier:
 http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2004-04/msg01448.html
Summary: Before my patch there were 89 FAILs and 3 XPASSes.
After my patch, there are 91 FAILs and 8 XPASSes.
The two extra FAILs were determined to be corner
cases that exposed problems elsewhere in GCJ.
Amazingly, my changes for PR 15073 did not cause any
changes in the Jacks results, so the testcase in the PR is
the one that transitions from FAIL to PASS with my patch.
It would have been nice to get that in into the testsuite.
Thanks,
Ranjit.
