Pseudo class variable as argument to synchronized blocks

[Bernhard Haumacher (haui at haumacher dot de)]

Compiler crashes if it encounters an access to the pseudo .class variable of a remote class as argument to a synchronized block.

Problem

R.class is translated to "this.class" in the context of a synchonized block argument. This is nonsense.

Evaluation

The same difficulty exists for replicated classes (see ticket:157).

Test

jp.test.TestClassVariable

todo since 1.06c.

[hauma]

For replicated classes this issue is resolved by inspecting synchronization on Class objects at runtime. A synchronization on a Class object representing a replicated class is forwarded to the replicated class implementation object as either a shared, exclusive, or collective synchronization.

This issue is closely related to ticket:211.
