javac fail to compile casts to raw type

XMLWordPrintable

    • generic
    • generic

      no compile-time error should be reported in the example below:

      interface Super<P> {}
      class Y implements Super<Integer>{}
      interface X extends Super<Double>{}
      class S<L> extends Y {}
      interface T<L> extends X{}

      public class Test{
         public static void main(String argv[]) {
             S s = null; // same if I use S<Byte>
             T t = null; // same if I use T<Byte>
             t = (T) s; // casting to raw - should be no compile-time error
         }
      }

      there are many other similar situations. (f.e. when S T X Y are all interfaces).
