Hello, community! I noticed a new error since b134: "Cannot use '<>' with anonymous inner classes". The code uses diamond syntax and was error-free before b134. (Please see reproducible example at the end.)
Can someone explain: is this error even intended? If so, why this is necessary? If not, is it possible to revert to old behavior? (BTW: Latest Netbeans even allow to refactor anon-inner-classes to use diamond syntax.) Best regards, Ivan G Shevchenko = = = = = = = = = = EXAMPLE CODE: = = = = = = = = = = import java.util.*; public final class DiamondTestJdkBuild134 { public static void main(String... args) { // no error List<String> l = new LinkedList<>(); // error: cannot infer type arguments for Iterator; // reason: cannot use '<>' with anonymous inner classes Iterator<String> i = new Iterator<>() { @Override public boolean hasNext() { return false; } @Override public String next() { return null; } @Override public void remove() { throw new UnsupportedOperationException(); } }; } }
