Description Martin Aeschlimann CLA 2005-01-19 04:03:50 EST 
Since I20050118 this code does not compile anymore. The access to 'publicField'
is marked as 'not visible'

public class A {
	private static class PrivateInner {
		public int publicField;
	}	
	public static class PublicInner extends PrivateInner {	
	}
}
class B {
	void foo(Object o) {
		A.PublicInner x;

		int i= ((A.PublicInner)o).publicField;
		int j= x.publicField;
	}
}

Also note the strange error range marked on the assignment to 'i'

This is fixed in HEAD where we report:
----------
1. ERROR in c:\tests_sources\A.java
 (at line 13)
	int j= x.publicField;
	       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The local variable x may not have been initialized
----------
1 problem
