[kaffe] BUG: StringBuffer.substring(...)

[Mr Alex V Eustrop]

java.lang.StringBuffer.substring(int start,int end)
defined since Sun JDK 1.2  dosn't work properly

1. Background:

java.lang.StringBuffer.substring(...) must be equal to
java.lang.StringBuffer.toString().substring(...)
but works strange

2. Test:

/*
 * Kaffe 1.0.6/1.0.7-rc1 StringBuffer.substring() bug
 */

import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;

public class Tst {
  public static void main(String[] args) 
  {
   StringBuffer tst = new StringBuffer(
    "# Comment\n%begin 123 \n\n\norg-id: 123\n");
   System.err.println(1 + tst.substring(0,9));
   System.err.println(2 + tst.substring(10,21));
   System.err.println(3 + tst.substring(22,22));
   System.err.println("--- end of output");
  }
} // END OF Tst

3. Proper output (with sun jdk1.3.1):

1# Comment
2%begin 123
3
--- end of output

A
4. Kaffe 1.0.6/1.0.7-rc1 Output:

1# Comment
2%begin 123 


org-id:
3

org-id: 123

--- end of output

5. Configuration

 OS - FreeBSD 4.4-RELENG 
 kaffe 1.0.6 - from ports
 or kaffe 1.0.7-rc1
