Generic Signatures

[Andrew Haley <aph@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I can't get even simple tests with generic signatures to work.  Like
this:

public class test2
{
  static class A extends ArrayList<String> {};

  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    A a = new A();
    Object x = a;
    ((Collection)x).add(new Byte((byte) 1));
    System.out.println(x.getClass().getGenericSuperclass());
    System.out.println("We have a list parametrized with: " +
                       ((ParameterizedType)x.getClass().getGenericSuperclass()).getActualTypeArguments()[0]);
  }
}

should do this:

java.util.ArrayList<java.lang.String>
We have a list parametrized with: class java.lang.String

but does this:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.TypeNotPresentException: type "java$util$ArrayList" not found

   ...4 more

Is it the case that this stuff hasn't ever worked?  I'll allow that we
have an older cut of the generics branch in gcj.

Thanks,
Andrew.
