This bug occurs on Linux and solaris -sparc Platforms . Here is the description for both :


LINUX :

To reproduce the bug :


1. Make a directory and copy the attached files to that directory.

2. Compile the attached files named "File.java" "InputFile.java" "OutputFile.java" and "XX.java"

/home/ls121046/Masterws/javah/tests/OK % javac *.java



2. Run the following command on compiled files :

javah -old File InputFile OutputFile

here is the exception which is being thrown :

IMPORTANT NOTES :

1. I have also tried the same with previous builds also. It passes for build 68 but fails with b69, 70 , 71 , 72

2. I also tested it for build 73 and it is failing

3. I have tested it on the following Linux platforms :

RH7.1
Caldera
RH6.2
Turbo Linux

It fails on all the above mentioned platforms .

SOLARIS -SPARC
===============


"javah -d64 -server -old" option fails to generate the JDK1.0-style header file when used on Solaris -sparc(64) platforms using build 72 of merlin.

NOTE : It fails for Solaris-sparc (64) only when javah is used with the Flags "-d64 -server". It passes with "-d32" option

It throws the following exception :

2. I also tested it for build 73 and it is failing

3. I have tested it on the following Solaris-sparc(64) platforms :

Solaris 7 (64)
Solaris 8 (64)
SunOS 5.9 s81_42 (64)


It fails on all the above mentioned platforms if javah is used with "-d64 -server -old" options.
