Hi All, As you wrote in the JIRA the reason of failure is incorrect Comparator which is used in the test. The Comparator violates the follwing rule from specification: "The implementor must ensure that sgn(compare(x, y)) == -sgn(compare(y, x))for all x and y." So I thing that It would be more correct to fix a comparator from test.
Some words about bug2bug compatibility. The fact that RI has different result on this comparator means nothing, because in case of different incorect comparator RI may give a different unpredictable results. So should we check *all possible set of incorrect comparators* and move exactly in same results as done by RI? I think that it will mean that we should have completely the same implementation of sorting. On 5/15/07, Eugene Ostrovsky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi all. Some of eclipse tests pass on RI but fail on harmony. See *HARMONY-3339<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-3339> * . The tests are incorrect. They pass on RI due to difference in implementation of Arrays.sort() method. Shall we alter our Array.sort() implementation to be consistent with RI ant to make these buggy tests pass? Thanks, Eugene.
