Consider the following program, Util.java:
public class Util {
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public static <T> T cast(Object x) {
return (T) x;
}
static {
Util.<Object>cast(null);
(Util.<Object>cast(null)).getClass();
}
}
The first statement in the static initializer compiles without problems. But the second statement produces the following error:
Util.java:9: illegal start of expression
(Util.<Object>cast(null)).getClass();
^
Various experiments show that it is the combination of the parentheses and the explicit type argument that provokes the problem.
