This is a boiled-down test case from part of Eclipse. gcj produces this bytecode:
Method name:"isArrayType" public final Signature: ()boolean Attribute "Code", length:35, max_stack:3, max_locals:1, code_length:11 0: aload_0 1: getfield <Field Test2.tagBits long> 4: i2l which results in a verification failure because it's producing an i2l instruction when there's a long on the stack. gcj4 --version gcj4 (GCC) 4.0.0 20041228 (Red Hat 4.0.0-0.17) (i686-pc-linux) $ gcj4 -C Test2.java; gcj4 -findirect-dispatch -c Test2.class Test2.java: In class 'Test2': Test2.java: In method 'Test2.isArrayType()': Test2.java:5: error: verification failed: incompatible type on stack Test2.java:5: error: expected type 'int' but stack contains 'void' Test2.java:5: confused by earlier errors, bailing out -- Summary: Incorrect bytecode produced for bitwise AND Product: gcc Version: 4.0.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: java AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: overholt at redhat dot com CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org,java-prs at gcc dot gnu dot org http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19295
