OK. That might explain why some people are not seeing these things. As far as I know KissMe, SableVM and Orp don't have verifiers at the moment. Tom Tromey recently added a verifier to gij though. But they don't use jikes but gcj to compile to class files. > I'm not sure if the Debian release applied any patches to the stock > 1.15 install. I don't think so. From the package page: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/devel/jikes.html you can get at their source diff http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/j/jikes/jikes_1.15-0.1.diff.gz And it only contains one actual patch for NaN values. > I haven't tried compiling Classpath with the latest CVS, so I'm not sure > if it solves all the VerifyErrors of 1.15.

That would be very nice to have. But we need a way to check if it solves the verify errors. I will spend some time tomorrow to see how/if we can use the gcj verifier for this. I am aiming to have the release tarball ready on friday. How much time would you need to get an interim jikes version going? Anything I can do to help get it ready? I can generate binaries for GNU/Linux x86 and powerpc.
