Casting reference array to any-T array.

[Michael Barker]

Hi,

A small thing that tripped me up yesterday.  The following code:

package github.mikeb01;

public class C<any T>
{
    T[] values;

    public C()
    {
        values = (T[]) new Object[0];
    }

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        new C<int>();
    }
}

Compiles without error, but fails a runtime with:

Specializing github.mikeb01.C${0=I}; searching for github/mikeb01/C.class
(not found)
Specializing github.mikeb01.C${0=I}; searching for github/mikeb01/C.class
(found)
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: [I
at
valhalla.specializer.SignatureSpecializer.asClassName(SignatureSpecializer.java:79)
at
valhalla.specializer.SignatureSpecializer$ForType.getDescAsClassName(SignatureSpecializer.java:156)

Should that be a compile time failure, with an invalid cast from a
reference array to any-T array?

Mike.
