Compiling the following two classes produces error:
p2/B.java:7: error: Method ‘p1.A.f(int)’ was defined with return type
‘boolean’in class ‘p1.A’.
void f( int x ) {}
/// A.java ///
package p1;
public class A
{
boolean f( int x ) { return false; }
}
/// B.java ///
package p2;
import p1.A;
public class B extends A
{
void f( int x ) {}
}
//////////////////
To reproduce place A.java in a directory p1, and B.java in directory p2.
Then compile B.java: gcj -C p2/B.java
A.f(...) should not be visible to class B and hence not cause this compilation
error. Sun's javac compiles these classes without error.
