Hi Alex,
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8028428
tl;dr
The following file does not compile in 7:
import java.lang.annotation.*;
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@interface T {
strictfp float ff() default -1.0f;
}
$ javac T.java
T.java:4: error: modifier strictfp not allowed here
strictfp float ff() default -1.0f;
^
1 error
In 8 it compiles.
JLS for 7 is actually slightly inconsistent here, the grammar in 9.6.1
says AbstractMethodModifier but the grammar in chapter 18 says modifier.
Question: is the grammar in 8 fixed? I assume AbstractMethodModifier is
correct.
cheers
/Joel
