An interesting bug

Thu Mar 24 16:10:00 GMT 2005

public class foo
{
 public static void main (String[] argv) throws Throwable {
 Class c = Class.forName ("[Ljava.lang.String;");
 System.out.println (c);
 c = ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader().loadClass ("[Ljava.lang.String;");
 System.out.println (c);
 }
}
on IBM's Java library, returns
class [Ljava.lang.String;
class [Ljava.lang.String;
on gcj, returns
class [Ljava.lang.String;
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: [Ljava.lang.String; not found in gnu.gcj.runtime.SystemClassLoader{urls=[file:./], parent=gnu.gcj.runtime.VMClassLoader{urls=[core:/], parent=null}}
 at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass (URLClassLoader.java:923)
 at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass (ClassLoader.java:309)
 at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass (ClassLoader.java:260)
 at foo.main (a.out)
I'm working on it.
