Hi all,

I've been looking at some public methods via Sun's javap disassembler and
I find some don't print the return type void, e.g.:

$ javap -public VerifyError
Compiled from "VerifyError.java"
public class java.lang.VerifyError extends java.lang.LinkageError{
   public java.lang.VerifyError();
   public java.lang.VerifyError(java.lang.String);
}

A bytecode disassembly shows both methods conclude with a "return"
mnemonic, which returns void from each method. What is the reason Sun's
disassembler doesn't print this:

Compiled from "VerifyError.java"
public class java.lang.VerifyError extends java.lang.LinkageError{
   public void java.lang.VerifyError();
   public void java.lang.VerifyError(java.lang.String);
}

8.4 of the Java Language Specification (2nd edition) appears clear:
"A method declaration either specifies the type of value that the method
returns or uses the keyword void to indicate that the method does not
return a value."

Could this be a bug in Sun's disassembler output or have I overlooked
something?

Thanks,
Adam
