Widening of capture vars occurs at unspecified times

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      javac's treatment of capture is often inconsistent with the specification. Sometimes capture occurs in places other than where it is specified. Sometimes a capture variable is "widened" to its upper bound.

      The changes necessary to match the specification seem to run pretty deep; there doesn't seem to be an easy quick fix.

      There may be some value in javac's behavior; if so, it should be identified and pushed back into the specification.
