-------------------------------------

What I forgot to say at the end was...   and thank you for reading it so 
closely to find this bug!

> text/BidiWrapper issue?
> -----------------------
>
>          Key: HARMONY-100
>          URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-100
>      Project: Harmony
>         Type: Bug
>     Reporter: Vladimir Gorr

>
> Let's consider the following test:
> import java.text.Bidi;
> public class Test {
>       public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
>               Bidi bd = new Bidi(new char[] { 's', 's', 's' }, 0, 
>                               new byte[] { (byte) -7, (byte) -2, (byte) -3 }, 
>                               0, 3, Bidi.DIRECTION_DEFAULT_LEFT_TO_RIGHT);
>               System.out.println("Expected 7, real " + "     " + 
> bd.getLevelAt(0));
>       }
> }
> In my opinion the JNI implementation of Bidi (text/BidiWrapper.c file, 
> ubidi_1setPara() function) contains a potential bug, namely:
> 1. If  the embeddingLevels  argument is not NULL then _embeddingLevels 
> variable is initialized with the JNI GetByteArrayElements() function;
> 2. ICU function (ubidi_setPara) initializes ICU inner structure and puts the 
> _embeddingLevels into it;
> 3. If _embeddingLevels pointer is not NULL then the JNI 
> ReleaseByteArrayElements() function (with 0 as fourth parameter) is called.
>     This function releases the memory (according to JNI specification) the 
> _embeddingLevels pointer refers to;
> 4. After that ICU inner structure isn't initialized properly. Call of ICU 
> ubidi_getLevels() function can return incorrect values (see java test above).
> It seems the JNI_COMMIT parameter instead of "0" should be passed to the 
> ReleaseByteArrayElements() to avoid this problem.
> I'd like to underline the test mentioned above works w/o any issues for 
> Harmony-14 contribution (although it shouldn't sometimes IMHO).
> Therefore if there are any doubts in my argumentation this issue can be 
> closed as invalid.
