Re: [aspectj-users] Issue with generics
I repeated your steps and got no errors. My setup is as follows:

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

Yes, this is what I said in the first e-mail. I am not sure if you want something else? It should be relatively straight forward:

1. Get Eclipse Galileo.
2. Install aspectj support using the following update site: http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ajdt/35/update.
3. Create an AspectJ project with this one file in it (MyAspect.aj) and run it as an AspectJ project.

I am now thinking though that since this problem seems to be manifesting in Eclipse's support for AspectJ and not in the standalone downloadable of AspectJ that perhaps I should take up this matter with the ajdt-dev mailing list instead.

I just compiled your new program (with the empty interface that I

worked there too.

  
ajc -1.5 MyAspect.java -showWeaveInfo
    
Extending interface set for type 'MyObject' (MyAspect.java) to include
'MyAspect$MyInterface' (MyAspect.java)

Type 'MyObject' (MyAspect.java) has intertyped method from 'MyAspect'
(MyAspect.java:'boolean
MyAspect$MyInterface.instanceOf(java.lang.Class<? extends
java.lang.Object>)')

Type 'MyAspect$MyInterface' (MyAspect.java) has intertyped method from
'MyAspect' (MyAspect.java:'boolean
MyAspect$MyInterface.instanceOf(java.lang.Class<? extends
java.lang.Object>)')

Your message:  "The method instanceOf(Class<Object>) from the type
MyObject refers to the missing type Object" sounds rather unusual.
Perhaps if you tell me precisely how you compile it, that will help?

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
