[kaffe] difference between kaffe and Sun's JDK: IllegalAccessException

[Ito Kazumitsu]

Hi,

The attached program,

  - when run with Sun's JDK (java version "1.4.2_04"), throws
    java.lang.IllegalAccessException.
  - when run with Kaffe,  ends normally.

Is this Sun's bug incorrectly checking the accessibility,
or Kaffe's bug neglecting a necessary accessibility checking?
I would like to think this is Sun's bug.

bash$ cat a/A.java
package a;
import java.lang.reflect.Method;

public class A {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        new A();
    }

    public A() throws Exception {
        new A1();
    }

    private class A1 extends b.B {

        A1() throws Exception {
            execFoo();
        }

        public Method getFoo() {
            try {
                return A1.class.getMethod("foo", null);
            }
            catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {
                return null;
            }
        }

        public void foo() {
            System.out.println("foo");
        }
    }

}
bash$ cat b/B.java
package b;

public abstract class B {

    public void execFoo() throws Exception {
        getFoo().invoke(this, null);
    }
}
