problem with vargs method

[Jochen Theodorou]

Hi all,

maybe someone can explain to me why method handles behave this way in my 
case.

Bascially I have a handle for Class#getDeclaredConstructor(Class...) I 
created via unreflect.

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/Class.html#getDeclaredConstructor%28java.lang.Class...%29

this handle is then created as a AdapterMethodHandle$AsVargsCollector. 
My targetType is Object(Object,Object) and the arguments to the call are 
the Class, and an empty Class[]. So the next steps are asType with the 
target type, adding a guard with catch, then my guards for the arguments 
and last I do an invokeWithArguments.

What I get now is a ClassCastException with the message required class 
java.lang.Class but encountered class [Ljava.lang.Class;

The guards are unrelated to the problem, since it happens without them 
as well.

Now can anyone explain me why I get that exception? It doesn't really 
make sense to me atm.

bye Jochen
