<p>Now, the test case mentioned in that bug is still correctly
rejected by javac. Furhermore, a similar test:</p>
<p><br>
```<br>
class X<E extends X<E>> {<br>
private static int m() { return 1; }<br>
int f() {<br>
return E.m();<br>
}<br>
}<br>
```<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Also fails to compile with 21/22.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
```<br>
Test.java:5: error: m() has private access in X<br>
return E.m();<br>
^<br>
1 error<br>
<p>```</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Trying to manipulate Remi's example, it seems the regression
only has to do with method refreences whose receiver is a type
variable.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Here's a minimal reproducer:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>```<br>
import java.util.function.*;<br>
<br>
class Test {<br>
private String asString() {<br>
return "bar";<br>
}<br>
<br>
static <T extends Test> Function<T, String>
foo() {<br>
return T::asString;<br>
}<br>
}<br>
```</p>
<p>I filed a bug:</p>

<b>Subject:</b> Regression: accessing a private method
through a type variable</font>
<div> </div>
</div>
<div class="BodyFragment"><font size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt;">
<div class="PlainText">Hello,<br>
There is a regression in recent versions of javac.<br>
javac 21 allows to access a private method through a
type variable, here T::asString.<br>
<br>
public class TDotToString {<br>
class Bar() {<br>
private String asString() {<br>
return "bar";<br>
}<br>
}<br>
<br>
static <T extends Bar> String
foo(List<T> list) {<br>
return
list.stream().map(T::asString).collect(Collectors.joining());<br>
}<br>
}<br>
<br>
Both IntelliJ and Eclipse emit an error in this case.<br>
<br>
And javac 8 emits<br>
TDotToString.java:12: error: invalid method
reference<br>
return
list.stream().map(T::asString).collect(Collectors.joining());<br>
^<br>
cannot find symbol<br>
symbol: method asString()<br>
location: bound of type variable T<br>
where T is a type-variable:<br>
T extends TDotToString.Bar declared in method
<T>foo(List<T>)<br>
1 error<br>
<br>

Rémi<br>
