I have
class Foo[A] {
def foo[B](x: A, y: B) = y
}
class Bar[A] extends Foo[A] {
override def foo[B](x: A, y: B) = superCall
}
where superCall
whitebox macro should expand to super.foo[B](x, y)
, and that's what -Ymacro-debug-lite
shows. The problem is that it fails to compile with following error:
[error] /home/aromanov/IdeaProjects/scala-dry/src/test/scala/com/github/alexeyr/scaladry/SuperTests.scala:80: type mismatch;
[error] found : y.type (with underlying type B)
[error] required: B
[error] override def foo[B](x: A, y: B) = superCall
[error] ^
Which makes no sense to me: y.type
is more narrow than B
, so if it's found when B
is required it shouldn't be an error. Even stranger, if I replace superCall
with its expansion super.foo[B](x, y)
, the error goes away!
superCall
implementation (slightly simplified by removing irrelevant conditionals, you can see the full version at Github):
def superCall: Tree = {
val method = c.internal.enclosingOwner.asMethod
val args = method.paramLists.map(_.map(sym => c.Expr(q"$sym")))
val typeParams = method.typeParams.map(_.asType.name)
q"super.${method.name.toTermName}[..$typeParams](...$args)"
}
EDIT: adding -uniqid
shows
[error] found : y#26847.type (with underlying type B#26833)
[error] required: B#26834
[error] override def foo[B](x: A, y: B) = superCall
[error] ^
[error] one error found
which explains how the error is possible, but doesn't explain how 2 B
's are different. I tried renaming B
to C
in case one of them referred to Foo.foo
's B
, but it still shows C
with 2 different ids even though there is only one C
in the program.
EDIT 2: see Scala typer stage says two uses of type parameter are different. The tree typer produces here (with super.foo[B](x, y)
instead of superCall
) is
class Foo#26818[A#26819] extends scala#22.AnyRef#2757 {
def <init>#26822(): Foo#26818[A#26819] = {
Foo#26818.super.<init>#3104();
()
};
def foo#26823[B#26824](x#26827: A#26819, y#26828: B#26825): B#26824 = y#26828
};
class Bar#26820[A#26821] extends Foo#26818[A#26821] {
def <init>#26831(): Bar#26820[A#26821] = {
Bar#26820.super.<init>#26822();
()
};
override def foo#26832[B#26833](x#26836: A#26821, y#26837: B#26834): B#26833 = Bar#26820.super.foo#26823[B#26834](x#26836, y#26837)
};
so it seems superCall
expands to Bar#26820.super.foo#26823[B#26833](x#26836, y#26837)
instead.
