algol% cat mydiv.java
class mydiv {
public static void main ( String[] argv ) {
System.out.println((Integer.MIN_VALUE/(-1))==(Integer.MIN_VALUE));
}
}


On a Sparc:
algol% javac mydiv.java
algol% java -Djava.compiler=none mydiv
true
algol% java -Djava.compiler=sunwjit mydiv
true

The class file generated by the Sparc compiler can be run on an Intel:
x86-trident% java -Djava.compiler=none mydiv
true
x86-trident% java -Djava.compiler=sunwjit mydiv
true



But, compiling on Intel is a problem:
x86-trident% javac mydiv.java
mydiv.java:4: Arithmetic exception.
System.out.println((Integer.MIN_VALUE/(-1))==(Integer.MIN_VALUE));
