Hello there, I am using ECJ to produce all my class files and it usually works perfectly.
However, I am now seeing it produce a broken class file. I really need to resolve this.
When run in JDK 17, it gives:
~/dev/the-anomaly$ java -jar ecj-anomaly.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassFormatError: Duplicate entry in InnerClasses attribute in class file loadableUtils/utils
It's a big class file (almost a megabyte), maybe the bug only happens with huge classes.
Inspecting utils.class with BCEL, I do find that an entry of the InnerClasses attribute is duplicated.
The ECJ version I am using is 4.19 with a slight patch (allowing the var keyword at any source level). I am pretty confident the patch is not the problem.
In order to test the compilation yourself, you can just extract the jar file which includes sources and compile loadableUtils/utils.java having the other classes in path.
One more question I have is where to get the latest ECJ version? I got a bit confused by the Eclipse website(s). Is 4.19 the latest version?
Final note: I tried to fix the broken class file using BCEL but had some problem writing the class file back which ended up truncated.
My current workaround is to use javac.
So I am really looking forward to an ECJ fix.
Many greetings,
