Description Joachim Lusiardi CLA 2006-04-21 06:41:24 EDT 
In the following code

int a = 100;
c = a instanceof Object;

eclipse does not mark any error or something and produces a class file.
The code is not runnable and produces a VerifierError because "a" is not an Object.

I used Build id: I20060413-1718 for this test
Comment 1 Philipe Mulet CLA 2006-04-21 08:54:16 EDT 
Issue only arises in 1.5 mode, likely a consequence of autoboxing support.
Comment 2 Philipe Mulet CLA 2006-04-21 09:22:03 EDT 
Added Autoboxing#test120.
Fixed InstanceOfExpression to disallow base type scenario.

Fixed
