Yes, I tried that too and it results in even more unsafe casts.
It's odd yes, since the compile-time error is not present when
building via OpenJDK build system make files (using "make images" in
top directory for example) but only if I compile the class from
command line (using javac directly) or from IDEA. I use JDK 8 ea-b121
in all cases as a build JDK. Are there any special options passed to
javac for compiling those classes in JDK build system that allow such
code?
jdk/make/Setup.gmk has the -Xlint options that are used in the build but
I suspect it more than that all the classes in java/lang/ref are
compiled together.
