Re: [aspectj-users] Issue with generics

Thank you Andy,

However, this does not work on my end. Let me paste the entirety of what I have in my toy example:

public aspect MyAspect
{
    public interface MyInterface
    {
    }

    declare parents: MyObject implements MyInterface;

    public boolean MyInterface.instanceOf(Class<? extends Object> c)
    {
        return c.isInstance(this);
    }
}

class MyObject
{
}

class Main
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        new MyObject().instanceOf(MyObject.class);
    }
}


I get, at the same place, a new error: "The method instanceOf(Class<Object>) from the type MyObject refers to the missing type Object". Notice that it is declared as Class<? extends Object> but during weaving becomes Class<Object>, and that's from where the error emerges in this case. Also notice I made a slight modification to the main, by passing instanceOf the value MyObject.class. I did this to show that simply changing the method argument's type from Class<? extends Object> to Class<Object> would not be sufficient to handle something other than Object.class.

As a simple workaround until it is fixed, you can remove the
declaration from the interface and just let the ITD do its work.

  
public aspect MyAspect
{
  public interface MyInterface {}

  declare parents: MyObject implements MyInterface;

  public boolean MyInterface.instanceOf(Class<? extends Object> c)
  {
      return c.isInstance(this);
  }
}

I have to say, this was not the response I was hoping for. :) But thanks.

The bug has been filed here:

This does appear to be a bug with generics.  I am able to get your
program to compile by removing the type parameters on your method
declarations:

public aspect MyAspect
{
  public interface MyInterface
  {
      public boolean instanceOf(Class c);
  }

  declare parents: MyObject implements MyInterface;

  public boolean MyInterface.instanceOf(Class c)
  {
      return c.isInstance(this);
  }
}

class MyObject
{
}

class Main
{
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
      new MyObject().instanceOf(Object.class);
  }
}

I'd suggest that you raise a bug for this in bugzilla.

Hello,

I have a problem that I tried boiling down to as small a code sample as
possible. The following gives me the error "The method instanceOf(Class<?
extends Object>) is ambiguous for the type MyObject" on the "instanceOf"
method call in the main method:

public aspect MyAspect
{
  public interface MyInterface
  {
      public boolean instanceOf(Class<? extends Object> c);
  }

  declare parents: MyObject implements MyInterface;

  public boolean MyInterface.instanceOf(Class<? extends Object> c)
  {
      return c.isInstance(this);
  }
}

class MyObject
{
}

class Main
{
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
      new MyObject().instanceOf(Object.class);
  }
}

First, I wonder if this fails to compile for everyone or if it is just me.
Second, since I suspect I may have a compatibility issue, here are my specs:

* Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger
* Eclipse Galileo
* Mac OS X JavaVM 1.5.0 (J2SE-1.5)
* AspectJ 1.6.6

If the problem is with the code, I'd like to know the "better" way to
accomplish the above.

I would appreciate any help you could give,

-Michel
