I don't know very much about this part of gdb. However, I can say
that in libgcj we create classes on the fly to represent arrays. Even
the simplest Java program will create at least one such array (for
String[]):
public class t
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println(args.length);
}
}
Then compile with:
gcj --main=t -o t t.java
There is at least one longstanding gdb SEGV that happens when trying
to re-run a Java executable. This happens in most, but not every, gdb
session.
Unfortunately I can't try your patch in the near future.
