[Bug classpath/30061] New: Comparator interface arguments get reversed

[dwhire at yahoo dot com]

Bug is demonstrated in the following code: 

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Comparator;

public class Test1 implements Comparator {
        /**
         * @param args
         */
        public static void main(String[] args) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
       Test1 t = new Test1();
       t.doit();
        }

        void doit (){
                System.out.println("test1 vs 001");
        String [] sa = {"1","2"} ;
                Item i = new Item();
                i.key = "X";
                Arrays.binarySearch(sa, i, (Comparator) this);
                i.key = "2";
                Arrays.binarySearch(sa, i, (Comparator) this);

        }

        public int compare(Object o1, Object o2) {
                showType("o1 as String", o1);
                showType("o2 as Item", o2);
        return -1 ;
    }
        static void showType(String exp, Object obj){
                String type ;
                System.out.println ("expected " + exp);
                if (obj ==null)
                        System.out.println("got null");
                else {
                        type = obj.getClass().getName();
                        if (type.equals("java.lang.String"))
                                System.out.println("got String " +
(String)obj);
                        else 
                                System.out.println("got Item " +
((Item)obj).key);

                        }
                }

        class Item {
                String key ;
        }

}
