Another lap around the track with generic signatures. At the root of the
issue reported in #4214 is our old friend (fondly remembered from the
days of primitive equality) boxed/primitive unification.
// scala
trait T[A] {
def f(): A
}
// the generic signature spec doesn't allow for parameterizing
// on primitive types, so this cannot remain Char. However
// translating it to Character, as was done, also has issues.
class C extends T[Char] {
def f(): Char = 'a'
}
// Note that neither of the signatures for f, the implementation // or
the bridge method, matches the type parameter. Generic interfaces in
class: T<java.lang.Character> Generic signatures: public char C.f()
public java.lang.Object C.f()
After this commit, primitive type parameters are translated into Object
instead of the boxed type. It was martin's idea, so no review. Closes
#4214.
