By "inner class" you mean an automatic/local class in this case; a class declared inside a method. It would seem appropriate that a local class is declared private. Only the method that contains the class declaration can see it.

Yes, it is quite interesting how different compilers produce different class attributes, it looks like this is the main problem with the code. ECJ insists on marking inner classes private. Elena was kind to send me another test which she wrote while JIRA was down and it shows even a bigger difference between the compilers - it produces different output on RI. In the 2nd test ECJ creates an inner in anonymous class Test1931_2$1$LocalClass while Sun creates Test1931_2$1LocalClass. This gives different output from cc.getEnclosingClass and cc.isLocalClass where cc is the used inner class. Nevertheless RI allows the access to the inner private class it seems. It doesn't throw the exception which drlvm does. The exception source is drlvm's kernel class ReflectExporter and the method in question is allowAccess which calls allowClassAccess at line 113. This check is the one and the only chance to return true in this case. I've debugged the code with recently implemented debugging support of drlvm using eclipse (jdwp agent has to be build for this from HARMONY-1410, also kernel classes for drlvm aren't compiled with debug support, build script has to be hacked) but I just don't know all of the access checks specification statements to make a decision which one is not correct. P.S. I used ecj 3.2 which we use for current classlib compilation. -- Gregory Shimansky, Intel Middleware Products Division
