             Summary: Wrong field resolution in the verifier may lead to 
verification error
                 Key: BCEL-189
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BCEL-189
             Project: Commons BCEL
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Verifier
    Affects Versions: 6.0
            Reporter: Jérôme Leroux


The field reference resolution is not implemented correctly in the verifier. 
This may lead to an unresolved field reference that fails the verification of a 
correct classfile.

Here is a Java example that fails:
{code:java}
public class B extends A{
    public void test(){
        int i = this.field;
    }
}
class A {
    int field;
}
{code}

See chapter _5.4.3.2 Field Resolution_ of the _The Java Virtual Machine 
Specification Second Edition_ for more information 
(http://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jvms/se5.0/html/ConstantPool.doc.html#71685)
