Description

Harmony: classlib + VM revision 421248

If we try to find a non-comparable item in an empty array, RI returns -1 while Harmony throws ClassCastException.

Code to reproduce:

import java.util.*;

public class Test {
public static void main (String[] args) {
System.err.println(Arrays.binarySearch(new Object[] {}, new Object()) == -1 ? "PASSED" : "FAILED");
}
}

Please see the patch with unit test for this case and fix for classlib code attached
