The grammar of ConstructorReference is:
ConstructorReference:
ClassType '::' NonWildTypeArgumentsopt 'new'
ArrayType '::' 'new'
The class or array type which appears before the '::' is a first-class
type use on which JSR 308 would like to allow annotations. JSR 308
usually catches type uses by redefining ReferenceType in JLS ch.18 from:
ReferenceType:
Identifier [TypeArguments] { . Identifier [TypeArguments] }
to:
ReferenceType:
[Annotations] UnannReferenceType
UnannReferenceType:
Identifier [TypeArguments] {. [Annotations] Identifier [TypeArguments]}
My question to the 335 EG then is, what is the ch.18 version of
ConstructorReference? If it uses ReferenceType, 308 is good to go.
