[JGIT PATCH (RESEND) 2/3] Work around Sun javac compiler error in RefUpdate

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Sun's javac, version 5 and 6, apparently miscompiles the for loop
which is looking for a conflicting ref name in the existing set of
refs for this repository.

Debugging this code showed the control flow to return LOCK_FAILURE
when startsWith returned false, which is highly illogical and the
exact opposite of what we have written here.

Sun's javap tool was unable to disassemble the compiled method.
Instead it simply failed to produce anything about updateImpl.
So my remark about the code being compiled wrong is only a guess
based on how I observed the behavior, and not by actually studying
the resulting instructions.

Eclipse's JDT appears to have compiled the updateImpl method
correctly, and produces a working executable.  But this is a
much less common compiler to build Java libraries with.

This refactoring to extract the name conflicting test out into
its own method appears to work around the Sun javac bug, and the
resulting class works correctly with either compiler.  The code is
also more clear, so its a gain either way.
