BUG REPORT: About Util.arrayFillNonAtomic in jcwde.jar

Question

Hi, I think i get a bug about Util.arrayFillNonAtomic,
for example:
offset = 0;
offset = Util.arrayFillNonAtomic(myData,offset,(short)5,(byte)0);
offset must return 5, but in PC simulator(like used eclipse+junit+jcwde.jar+api21.jar) return is 4 ?�Idownload the applet into java card , return is 5.
here is why error:
the code Util.arrayFillNonAtomic in jcwde.jar is :
public static final short arrayFillNonAtomic(byte bArray[], short bOff, short bLen, byte bValue)
throws ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException, NullPointerException
byte tester = bArray[bOff];
if(bLen < 0)
throw new ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException();
while(bLen-- > 0)
bArray[bOff++] = bValue;
return (short)(bOff + bLen);//error. must return bOff,not bOff+bLen!! here bLen = -1.

Thanks for the suggestion and let's hop they put some process to prevent similar issues from hapening again in the future.False hope. Programming is hard, release management is hard, testing is hard, people make mistakes, budget restrictions cause mistakes to slip through, etc. etc.
The most important factor in all this really is us and more specifically our willingness to properly report problems.
