Mauro Molinari created GROOVY-7976: -------------------------------------- Summary: Sort methods that accept a comparator should allow Comparator<? super T> Key: GROOVY-7976 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7976 Project: Groovy Issue Type: Bug Components: groovy-jdk Affects Versions: 2.4.7 Reporter: Mauro Molinari
Methods like {{org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.DefaultGroovyMethods.sort(Iterable<T>, boolean, Comparator<T>)}} and all the others alike should be changed to accept a {{Comparator<? super T>}}, otherwise if you use {{@CompileStatic}} you'll get compiler errors as soon as you try to sort an Iterable/Collection using a comparator that accept superclass instances. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
