ah, finally the backport of jdk8 ;) I hope it does not break other things;) Btw, I noticed this not only with Byte, but with almost any wrapper type... of course Float did work. There is one part of he documentation that makes me a bit wonder though... If I want to convert a Long argument to an int argument it will not work? I mean it is not according to the Java widening rules afaik. And the documentation is telling about that. But since there are bytecode instructions for this - why the limitation? For me it means a lot of more work, since I not only have to check if they are primitives, I also have to check the widening conversions of Java are followed and if not apply my own transformations. And checking the widening rules... that is I think 19 cases. bye Jochen -- Jochen "blackdrag" Theodorou - Groovy Project Tech Lead blog: http://blackdragsview.blogspot.com/ german groovy discussion newsgroup: de.comp.lang.misc For Groovy programming sources visit http://groovy-lang.org _______________________________________________ mlvm-dev mailing list mlvm-dev@openjdk.java.net http://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo/mlvm-dev
