If you suspect you have found a bug in Sun’s compiler or runtime, check the Bug Parade. It has a fairly sophisticated search engine. You can submit a bug report to Sun. If you reported an issue that could have a major impact on your project and you require a response, consider purchasing one of the support offerings. To get the best response submit the tiniest SSCCE that demonstrates the bug that you can muster. email feedback to Roedy Green or Canadian Mind Products. They will be fixed within a week or any money you paid will be refunded.

Computer languages tend to have a primary bug. In Java most problems manifest as a NullPointerException or a NoClassDefFoundError. In Forth, they show up as stray items left on the stack. In Assembler they show up as attempts to read outside the program address space. In FØRTRAN, it will show up as an index out of bounds. In C they show up at attempt to access low numbered locations.

Please email your , letters to the editor, errors, omissions, typos, formatting errors, ambiguities, unclear wording, broken/redirected link reports, suggestions to improve this page or comments to Roedy Green : feedback email. If you want your message, your name or email kept confidential, not considered for public posting, please explicitly specify that. Unless you state otherwise, I will treat your message as a letter to the editor that I may or may not publish in the feedback section. After that, it will be too late to retract it. If you disagree with something I said, especially when sending an ad-hominem attack, a rant composed mainly of obscenities or a death threat, please quote the offending passage and cite the web page where you found it, tell me why you think it is wrong, and, if possible, provide some supporting evidence. I can’t very well fix erroneous or ambiguous text if I can’t find it.
