[foreign] RFR: 8225552: typedef can interfere with primitive classes

[Henry Jen]

Yes, the nested Byte. I should have attach the error message into the bug report to make it clear.

WARNING: symbol twoShorts is not found in any library
java.lang.RuntimeException: In memory compilation failed: /com/example/exports_lib.java:50: error: incompatible types: Pointer<java.lang.Byte> cannot be converted to Pointer<com.example.exports_h.Byte>
        _theLibrary.func($arg0, out);
                                ^
/com/example/exports_lib.java:54: error: incompatible types: Pointer<java.lang.Long> cannot be converted to Pointer<com.example.exports_h.Long>
        return _theLibrary.twoShorts(s, out, rv);
                                             ^
Note: Some messages have been simplified; recompile with -Xdiags:verbose to get full output
2 errors

Cheers,
