Description Andrey Loskutov CLA 2011-12-11 17:45:12 EST 
Build Identifier: 3.8 M4

AS IS:
Looks like incremental compiler fails to detect right classes to recompile after changes related to the nullness contract errors/warnings.

So if there are new parameter annotations added to the super class method return value or arguments, only the clean build detects the errors in subtypes implementing this method.

TO BE:
Incremental compiler should be able to catch right classes to check after changing the nullness contract of the method return value or arguments.


Reproducible: Always

I think adding annotations to return value should already work. Anyways
this will get checked as part of bug 365992

Verified for 3.8 M5 using build id: I20120122-2000.

Andrey my testing shows that changing the nullness status
on return type does trigger an incremental build. If you
find it to be otherwise, please open a fresh defect with
a suitable test case. Thanks.
