The following new tests have been added to the JCK. Compiling this
test should result in a compile-time error; however they all compile
successfully with the new compiler (jdk1.3d). Since this problem was
not observed in jdk1.2, the new behaviour represents a regression.

The following are simplifications of those tests:

FILE: DefAssignAFtreTry1.java

class E1 extends Exception {}
class E2 extends Exception {}

public class DefAssignAfterTry1 {
    public static void main(String argv[]) {
boolean t = true;
E1 se1 = new E1();
E2 se2 = new E2();
int i;
try {
if (t) {
throw se1;
}
} catch (E1 e) {
i = 0;
}
System.out.println(i);
System.out.println("Error : there should be compile-time errors");
    }
}

FILE: DefAssignAFtreTry2.java

class E1 extends Exception {}
class E2 extends Exception {}

public class DefAssignAfterTry2 {
    public static void main(String argv[]) {
boolean t = true;
E1 se1 = new E1();
E2 se2 = new E2();
// {
int i;
try {
if (t) {
i = 0;
throw se1;
} else {
throw se2;
}
} catch (E1 e) {
} catch (E2 e) {
i = 0;
}
System.out.println(i);
// }
System.out.println("Error : there should be compile-time errors");
    }
}


FILE: DefAssignAFtreTry3.java

class E1 extends Exception {}
class E2 extends Exception {}

public class DefAssignAfterTry3 {
    public static void main(String argv[]) {
boolean t = true;
E1 se1 = new E1();
E2 se2 = new E2();

int i;
try {
i = 0;
if (t)
throw se1;
else
throw se2;
} catch (E1 e) {
} catch (E2 e) {
i = 0;
}
System.out.println(i);
System.out.println("Error : there should be compile-time errors");
    }
}
