We had an interesting regression with the logging code in GNU Classpath. It wasn't immediately apparent because it was only caused with certain compilers. The class initialization order was subtly different between byte code compiled with gcj -C and jikes. So it didn't show up with gcj -C which I used when committing this code.
Since class initialization is strictly defined by the JVM spec, doesn't this necessarily imply a bug in either gcj or jikes? The only other alternative is that they both compile the same code correctly, but do so differenly enough to change the class initialization order, which to me seems even more surprising (but possible I guess.. ?) -Archie __________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * CTO, Awarix * http://www.awarix.com
