------- Additional Comments From tromey at gcc dot gnu dot org 2005-08-23 17:02 ------- Here is the complete test case:
import java.text.*; import java.util.*; public class pr23183 { public static void main(String[] args) { SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("''yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss''"); // Should have quotes around it, but does not. System.out.println(sdf.format(new Date())); // should produce ' ' 'FOO' ' ' sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("'' '' '''FOO''' '' ''"); System.out.println(sdf.format(new Date())); } } This fails with both gcj 4.1 and classpath cvs head (0.17+) -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23183
