MethodTypeDesc.parameterList()

[Mark Roberts]

There seems to be an inconsistency in the treatment of parameters to inner
class constructors.  Given that these two classes are inner classes:



    private class Entry

    {

      final double key;

      final Object value;



      public Entry(double key, Object value) {

          this.key = key;

          this.value = value;

      }

    }



    public class DuplicateElementException extends RuntimeException

    {

        DuplicateElementException() { }

        DuplicateElementException(String s) { super(s); }

    }



For the first, the local vars:

this, key, value

Param types:

MapQuick.PriorityQueue, double, java.lang.Object



Note that the type of ‘this’ is included in the list – this is not true for
every other case I have seen.



For the second, local vars:

this, this$0

Param types:

MapQuick.PriorityQueue



This agrees with the ‘normal’ case as MapQuick.PriorityQueue is associated
with ‘this$0’ and the type for ‘this’ is not included.



I had to add a lot of ugly code to work around this.  It seems like
including the type of the ‘this’ pointer is a problem or am I missing
something?



Thank you,

Mark
