Compiler bug ?

[Ulf Zibis]

Hi,

i have:

public class EUC_TW_C_d_b_fastLoop1 extends FastCharset implements 
HistoricallyNamedCharset {

     private static final byte MIN_BYTE_VALUE = 
EUC_TWMapping2.MIN_BYTE_VALUE;
     private static final byte MAX_BYTE_VALUE = 
EUC_TWMapping2.MAX_BYTE_VALUE;

     private static final class Encoder extends FastCharset.Encoder {
         static {
                 for (char off=0, b1=(MIN_BYTE_VALUE&0xff); 
b1<=(MAX_BYTE_VALUE&0xff); b1++)
             ...
         }
         ...
     }
     ...
}

This compiles fine, but equivalent code in own class compiles with errors:

final class Enc_d_n_fastLoop1 extends FastCharset.Encoder {

     static {
         byte MIN_BYTE_VALUE = EUC_TWMapping2.MIN_BYTE_VALUE;
         byte MAX_BYTE_VALUE = EUC_TWMapping2.MAX_BYTE_VALUE;

             for (char off=0, b1=(MIN_BYTE_VALUE&0xff); 
b1<=(MAX_BYTE_VALUE&0xff); b1++)
         ...
     }
     ...
}

C:\Projects\nio_charset_j7_EUC_TW\src\sun\nio\cs\ext\Enc_d_n_fastLoop1.java:75: 
possible loss of precision
             for (char off=0, b1=(MIN_BYTE_VALUE&0xff); 
b1<=(MAX_BYTE_VALUE&0xff); b1++)
   required: char
   found:    int

Is that correct ?
