access to a field by expression T.super.name is failed

Name: viR10068 Date: 03/29/2001


The JLS Second edition says:
[15.11.2 Accessing Superclass Members using super]
"Suppose that a field access expression T.super.name appears within class C,
and the immediate superclass of the class denoted by T is a class whose
fully qualified name is S. Then T.super.name is treated exactly as if it had
been the expression ((S)T.this).name.
Thus the expression T.super.name can access the field named name that is
visible in the class named by S, even if that field is hidden by a
declaration of a field named name in the class named by T."

However, if the test containing described field access expression is compiled
with the flag -target 1.2 than the NoSuchMethodError is thrown
for method access$001(Lref;)I while running resulting class file.

New JCK tests are failed due to this bug:
lang/EXPR/expr634/expr63401/expr63401.html
lang/EXPR/expr636/expr63601/expr63601.html
lang/EXPR/expr647/expr64701/expr64701.html

Note, if the test case is compiled in default mode (without flag -target 1.2),
all works fine.

To reproduce this bug:
1. compile the source T.java
3. run T.class

---------------------------- T.java -----------------------------------
package test;

import java.io.PrintStream;

class S {
    int i = 324;
}

public class T extends S {

    int i = 243;
    
    class C {
        int i = T.super.i;
        int test() {
            System.out.println("Value i = " +i);
            return 0/*STATUS_PASSED*/;
        }
    }

    public static void main(String argv[]) {
        System.exit(run(argv, System.out) + 95/*STATUS_TEMP*/);
    }

    public static int run(String argv[],PrintStream out) {
        return new T().new C().test();
    }
}
