: Have seen it on other cases, too. Seems to happen when you create long lists
: based on methods that use generics for their return type.
Havng gone down Dawid's compiler-dev@ thread rabbit hole: correct.
: The workaround is to hardcode the type in the asList() call, then the code
: does not have to handle the generic return of each parameter:
:
: Arrays.<Entry<String,String>>asList(....)
Uwe: does forbidden-apis have enough type information to recognize:
1) the length of a varargs list
2) when the source code it's checking is missing explicit generic type
declarations in the method call
I'm wondering if a new forbidden-api feature could restrict usage based on
generics and/or varargs length, such that we could write a rule saying
"Arrays.asList w/ varargs.length > 3 must specify explicit type"
So this would be forbidden...
Arrays.asList("x", 2, "y", 3);
...but these would be legal...
Arrays.<Object>asList("x", 2, "y", 3);
Arrays.asList("x", 2, foo);
