#880 Assertion failed in expr.cpp

[Anonymous]

I've not been able to locate the file which causes
the error, but it occurs on all our four codebases:

Assertion failed: ThisVariable() && (ThisVariable() -> ACC_STATIC() ? this_type -> static_initializer_method : (this_type -> FindMethodSymbol(control.block_init_name_symbol))), file expr.cpp, line 3910

The assertion fails with the latest CVS HEAD version.

This tiny test class reproduces the error:

public class Test
{
public Test() {
}

public static class Base {
private Base() {
}
}

public static class Sub extends Base {
private Sub() {
}
}
}

Committed a patch to CVS - it was my oversight, since synthetic placeholder types for private constructor accessors are created on the anonymous class code path.

Thanks!

I can confirm that this bug is fixed, so we could close it.
