Alexei and all, It looks that we finally should get back to the issue because Eclipse compiler people say it can be not Eclipse compiler, but Harmony verifier issue. Here is the comment from https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=194398#c7:
"It seems that it is legal to return to a higher level in the subroutines call chain.
From the JVMS (2nd edition):
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jvms/second_edition/html/ClassFile.doc.html#9308 "Each instance of type returnAddress can be returned to at most once. If a ret instruction returns to a point in the subroutine call chain above the ret instruction corresponding to a given instance of type returnAddress, then that instance can never be used as a return address." This would mean that as long as the ret instruction is executed only once, this is fined. It would be a verify error if the ret 3 could be executed after the ret 1 has been executed. So I would close this one as WONTFIX since the code generation is actually fine and it seems that the Harmony bytecode verifier is too strict." Should we re-open the issue and investigate it? Thanks. -- Nina On 7/9/07, Alexei Fedotov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Nina, It was nothing was to be sorry about. :-) I was just trying to understand your concern myself. I believe we should pay attention to the difference if it prevents any applications from running. There are too much arbitrary differences to pay attention to each of them. For example, Sun's verifier is shipped in a form of DLL which allows BEA to use it . We don't ship our verifier in a form of DLL. This is a difference, but we don't file JIRA issue about it. From the other side behavior difference might be serious if it impacts something seriously. If you think this incompatibility has a serious impact, just indicate the impact and the incompatibility will be addressed. Thanks.
