A way to see this in more detail is to debug through the Attr.visitApply call corresponding to the method invocation


m(new X<>(), X.default);


in this test case:


public primitive class X<T> {

    
    static void m(X<String> ls, X<String> ls2) { }

    public static void main(String [] args) {
        m(new X<>(), X.default);
    }

}



You will see that first argument is typed to be DeferredType and second one incorrectly to be X<T\>
