[jira] Created: (IO-241) CompositeFileComparator(Comparator... delegates) - Using varargs for non-reifiable type goes against type-safety

CompositeFileComparator(Comparator<File>... delegates) - Using varargs for non-reifiable type goes against type-safety
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: IO-241
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-241
             Project: Commons IO
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.0
            Reporter: Sebb


The constructor CompositeFileComparator(Comparator<File>... delegates)  cannot be used without generating a Type safety warning.

This is because the type is not reifiable.

This is a new class, so I suggest this constructor is replaced with something that supports type-safety, for example List.

[jira] Commented: (IO-241) CompositeFileComparator(Comparator... delegates) - Using varargs for non-reifiable type goes against type-safety

Niall Pemberton commented on IO-241:
------------------------------------

The class already has a constructor which takes an Iterable - so that already covers Lists and more. The varargs constructor is convenient and just because it generates a warning in an IDE isn't IMO a good enough reason to remove it.
