[jira] [Created] (GROOVY-8059) STC overloaded generic method
selection not using resolved types
John Wagenleitner created GROOVY-8059:
-----------------------------------------
Summary: STC overloaded generic method selection not using resolved types
Key: GROOVY-8059
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8059
Project: Groovy
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Static Type Checker
Affects Versions: 2.4.8
Reporter: John Wagenleitner
Priority: Minor
The fix for GROOVY-6804 only works for primitive arguments because the [distance calc doesn't wrap and compare against reference param types|https://github.com/apache/groovy/blob/048b6586b741009f5497c6bfdb7fb1aad6c607be/src/main/org/codehaus/groovy/transform/stc/StaticTypeCheckingSupport.java#L859]. I believe it should wrap before doing the compare (which would fix GROOVY-8055) and believe the current test is only passing because of this anomaly with primitives.
The following test is the same from GROOVY-6804 but instead uses the wrapper type and fails to compile:
{code}
@groovy.transform.CompileStatic
class Base<K extends Serializable, V> {
void delete(K key) {}
void delete(V value) {}
}
@groovy.transform.CompileStatic
class Foo extends Base<String, Integer> {}
@groovy.transform.CompileStatic
public class Class1 {
Class1() {
Foo foo = new Foo()
foo.delete(Integer.valueOf(1))
}
}
new Class1()
{code}
{code}
[Static type checking] - Cannot call Foo#delete(K) with arguments [java.lang.Integer]
{code}
In the case of a primitive both {{K-Serializable}} and {{V-Object}} (as seen by the {{getDistance()}}) method have the same distance so both are promoted as possible choices. The [generic type information is not evaluated until later|https://github.com/apache/groovy/blob/048b6586b741009f5497c6bfdb7fb1aad6c607be/src/main/org/codehaus/groovy/transform/stc/StaticTypeCheckingVisitor.java#L3720] and when generics are applied the correct method is chosen. However, in the case of the reference type {{K-Serializable}} is the only method because it has the lowest distance calc and generics are not evaluated.
It seems that the fix would be to resolve the types prior to making the distance calculation.
