Although it is not immediately clear in the webrev, the underlying
characteristic of all places where I had to add an empty arg list
is that there was a private field of the same name in scope.
I took a closer look at ArrayDeque. I see no field named "add", but I
do see
static final int add(int i, int distance, int modulus) {
which should probably be renamed anyways, (although overloading on
arity ought to be safe! )
So add() would still have been ambiguous, since there are two methods
matching?
Yes, the error in question was reported as:
docs/api/java/util/ArrayDeque.html:715: id not found: add-int-int-int-
indicating that "{@link #add}" had matched the method you noted.
Although the method exists, it was not documented because it is not a
public or protected method: hence the broken link. If we had run
javadoc with -package option, that link would have been OK, although
there would likely have been a gazillion other errors!
