[Bug classpath/22651] classpath/vm/reference/java/lang/Throwable.java setStackTrace() problem.

[gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org]

Hi,

I was just reading though your code out of iterest (as you do ;-) and I think
I've found a problem with the setStackTrace() method in the Throwable class.

The "stackTrace" parameter needs to be cloned/copied so that the caller can't
then modify the internal stackTrace of the Throwable object by for example
setting an index in the stackTrace array to null.

I was wondering about that myself. I recently updated that code to work with
libgcj and added a similar note at that point.

I will add the copy as soon as I merge the code back from libgcj (it hasn't
been approved yet).

Throwable has been merged with libgcj including the suggested fix.
