Bug in class Symbol

843793

In class Symbol in method rank() we are :

public int rank() {
if (rank_field < 0) {
Name fiulname = fullName();
______^
if (fullname == fullname.table.java_lang_Object || type.tag == ERROR)
rank_field = 0;
else {

Wow. No idea what you're trying to get at/say here. Did a monkey jump on your keyboard?

sorry,

i tryed to say that fullname is certainly more good than fiulname
in fact this bug is in class ClassSymbol

Did a monkey jump on your keyboard?

I don't believe I've ever heard that sentiment more appropriately stated.

I don't understand exactly what you say ( i'am french) but i supose that
what i say is not clear then i try to explain.
In fact i talk about the source code of the version 8 of the Java compiler that support and use generic.
in this source code we have a class "Symbol" with inner class "ClassSymbol" in which we have this bug. i didn't find the place
in Bug Database of the Sun site where to send this.

More exactly, in sources of the prototype compiler 1.3_ea, in the file com/sun/tools/javac/v8/code/Symbol.java on line 579 (method rank() of an inner class ClassSymbol) there is a definition of a local variable "fiulname" which is not used anywhere. Probably the variable must be named "filename".

correction: a name of the local variable must be "fullname", because the name "fullname" is used in the next line.

OK, this makes much more sense.

The correct thing to do is submit a bug report to
