A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The method <T> int binarySearch(T[] a, T key, Comparator<? super T> c) in java.util.Arrays doesn't compile if T is an array of a primitive type (int[], long[], etc.)

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Compile and run the program below

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The program should compile.
ACTUAL -
Foo.java:10: cannot find symbol
symbol : method binarySearch(int[][],int[],java.util.Comparator<int[]>)
location: class java.util.Arrays
        Arrays.binarySearch(arr, elem, c);
              ^
1 error


REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

        };
        int[][] arr = { { 1 } };
        int[] elem = arr[0];
