#907 (f) constructor of strictfp class not strictfp

[Anonymous]

Although contructors cannot be explicitly declared strictfp, JLS 8.8.3 says that "a constructor is FP-strict if and only if its class is FP-strict." Jikes does not follow this rule.

The following program prints 'true' when compiled with javac 1.4.2, 'false' when compiled with Jikes:

import java.lang.reflect.*;

public strictfp class StrictFP
{
public StrictFP()
{

}

public static void main(String[] args) throws Throwable
{
Constructor ctor = StrictFP.class.getConstructor(new Class[0]);
System.out.println(Modifier.isStrict(ctor.getModifiers()));
}
}

This was tested using Jikes 1.21 on both Windows and Linux.
