I note that GCJ already seems to have the infrastructure in place to do this and
possibly used to work properly for this case. For example, see the
build_outer_field_access(), outer_field_access_p(), etc. methods in parse.y. The
patch to turn this on seems to have been:
2000-02-03 Alexandre Petit-Bianco <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* java-tree.h (FIELD_THISN): New macro.
* jcf-write.c (append_synthetic_attribute): New function.
(generate_classfile): Set "Synthetic" attribute on this$<n>,
val$<name> fields, access$<n> and $finit$ methods. Fixed indentation.
* parse.y (add_inner_class_fields): Set FIELD_THISN for created
this$<n> fields.
(build_outer_field_access): Turned on access functions usage and
generation when compiling to bytecode.
(maybe_use_access_method): Likewise.
As with other such things in GCJ, this seems to have bitrotted over time. :-(
