Using build I200208270833

Running this code

IWorkspace ws = testcasesPlugin.getWorkspace();
IWorkspaceRoot root = ws.getRoot();
IProject project = root.getProjects()[0];
IJavaProject jp = JavaCore.create(project);
		
CompilationUnit cu = AST.parseCompilationUnit(
   "public class Class {void theMethod() {for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i); theMethod
();}}".toCharArray(),
   "Class", jp);
cu.accept(new ASTVisitor() {
   public boolean visit(SimpleName node) {
      IBinding binding = node.resolveBinding();
      if (null == binding) {
         System.out.println("Null binding for SimpleName " + node.getIdentifier
());
      }
      return true;
   }
});

produces the output
Null binding for SimpleName i
Null binding for SimpleName theMethod

The null binding for 'i' is, I assume, bug 11529.  The null binding for the 
invocation of theMethod is caused by the call to ForStatement.getBody() in 
ForStatement.accept0().  This calls ForStatement.setBody() because the for 
statement had an empty body.  The call to setBody changes the modification 
count on the AST which causes all further attempts at binding resolution to 
return null.  I think the lazy initialization has to go :-)  Similarly for 
other loops.

Thanks
