From 6975b4888da9b56e2c06d45da8f483f2e33a102b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin Odersky Date: Wed, 4 Jan 2012 07:05:19 +0100 Subject: Closes SI-5354. The reason why the test case compiled without error is pretty devious: When checking the `Foo.x' implicit, a CyclicReference error occurs which causes the alternative to be discarded. Why a CylicReference? Because the inferencer tries to decide whether the owner of `z` is a subclass of the owner od `x`. To do this, it computed the info of the owner of `z1`, which is not complete because no result type for `f1` was given. Hence a CyclicReference error. The fix is twofold: (1) We make isNonBottomSubClass smarter so that it always returns false if the symbol in question is not a type; hence the info need not be computed. (2) It's dubious to swallow CyclicReference errors anywhere, but I deemed it too risky to propagate them. But at least the CyclicReference is now logged if -Ylog-implicit is true. This hopefully spares future maintainers the same detective work I had to go through when digging this out. --- test/files/neg/t5354.check | 7 +++++++ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+) create mode 100644 test/files/neg/t5354.check (limited to 'test/files/neg/t5354.check') diff --git a/test/files/neg/t5354.check b/test/files/neg/t5354.check new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..e47cecb5fe --- /dev/null +++ b/test/files/neg/t5354.check @@ -0,0 +1,7 @@ +t5354.scala:9: error: ambiguous implicit values: + both method x123 in package foo of type => foo.Bippy + and method z of type => foo.Bippy + match expected type foo.Bippy + implicitly[Bippy] + ^ +one error found -- cgit v1.2.3
