Description Randy Hudson CLA 2003-11-12 13:24:17 EST 
I can type:
     int[] x[];
OR
     void foo(int[] bar[]) {}

Is this redundancy allowed by the spec? I wouldn't be surprised.
Comment 1 Olivier Thomann CLA 2003-11-12 17:26:26 EST 
Yes, this is perfectly legal. This is not redundant. If you write:
int[] x[], x is an array of ints with a dimension 2.

See http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/second_edition/html/arrays.doc.html#17235
Ok to close?
Comment 2 Olivier Thomann CLA 2003-11-12 17:27:56 EST 
I close it as invalid.
Reopen if the explanation is not enough.
