Synopsis Contradiction in statements for execution of an empty statement in chapter 14
Category java:specification
Reported Against 1.1.3
Release Fixed
State 11-Closed, Not a Defect, bug
Priority: 4-Low
Related Bugs 4083890 , 4090844
Submit Date 14-NOV-1997
Description
The following statement in chapter 14.5 (p. 271):
"Execution of an empty statement always completes normally."

contradicts to the statement in chapter 14.19 (p.296):
"An empty statement can complete normally iff it is reachable."
Work Around
N/A
Evaluation
I don't see a contradiction. An unreachable statement never executes, so no contradiction arises. In any case, there are real issues with this aspect of the spec, and bugs filed on them. This bug is however frivolous.
