[jira] [Updated] (GROOVY-7772) Class.&instanceMethod had better to
have same meaning of Class::instanceMethod of Java8
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7772?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
UEHARA Junji updated GROOVY-7772:
---------------------------------
Description:
Groovy's operator .& for method is similar functionality to Java8's method reference operator ::.
||No.||lhs||rhs||meaing of Groovy's .& (Closure) ||meaning of java8's :: (FunctionalInterface)||
|1|instance|instanceMethod| { ..args -> instance.instanceMethod(args) | same as groovy |
|2|Class|staticMethod| { ..args -> Class.staticMethod(args) | same as groovy |
|3|instance|staticMethod| ERROR groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: | Error same as groovy (compile error) |
|4|Class|instanceMethod|error| Function<RetType,Class,Args..>, where method instance method of Class which is declared as ```RetType instanceMethod(Args..) {...}```. In other words it is interpreted as a function which takes LHS Class as the first parameter which additionally inserted to the method.)|
IMHO, No 4. is useful.
* You can do:
{code}
["a,b,c"].collect ( String.&toUpperCase )
{code}
* Can have correspond operator to java8's ::. which is understandablea and needed for Java programmers.
