| - | From the beginning of the introduction of [[http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/maintenance/JLS/innerclasses.pdf|inner classes]] in Java, developers knew that it would be a mess... and it has been proven again and again. Here is a recent example. Take the following (academic) piece of code: | ||
| - | <code> | ||
| - | public class Anonymous { | ||
| - | public void foo() { | ||
| - | class B {} | ||
| - | new B(); | ||
| - | } | ||
| - | } | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | Compile it with your standard Java compiler ''javac''. On both MacOS and Windows, there are two files generated... **BUT**, these two files have different names (!), thus throwing on the ground some of the dedicated [[PADL]] tests (in particular in project [[PADL Creator ClassFile Tests]]) | ||
| - | |||
| - | * On MacOS | ||
| - | * ''Anonymous.class'' | ||
| - | * ''Anonymous$1B.class'' | ||
| - | * On Windows | ||
| - | * ''Anonymous.class'' | ||
| - | * ''Anonymous$1$B.class'' | ||
| - | |||
| - | Did you notice the difference? on MacOS, the file describing the inner class is named ''Anonymous$1B.class'' with only one $ sign; on Windows, its name is ''Anonymous$1$B.class'' with two $ signs. **Sigh...** | ||
