compiler incorrectly accepts strictfp/widefp constructor

Name: dkC59003 Date: 06/29/98



By the "Proposal for Extention of Jav(TM) Floating Point Semantics",
Revision 1, May 1998, Section 8.3.3, Constructor Modifiers:
    A ConstructorModifier may not be widefp or strictfp.
    A compile-time error occurs if either widefp or strictfp appears
    as a constructor modifier. This difference between a
    ConstructorModifier and MethodModifier is intentional.

JDK 1.2beta4-J compiler incorrectly accepts declaration of a constructor
with strictfp or widefp modifier appeared.

There is no compiler diagnostics for the following incorrect code:
------------------------------------------------------------------

class WrongConstructorModifier {

    strictfp WrongConstructorModifier (double abra) {
    };

    widefp WrongConstructorModifier (float cadabra) {
    };

}

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

This bug is covered by the jmpp test: tests/lang/FP/fpl015/fpl01501m
which is to be included into JCK-1.2beta4
