Hi,
I see a new 'unchecked or unsafe operations' warning in the build, for
ProtocolTest.
Is this something I should log a bug for, or accept as ok?
Hi Myrna,
I don't think it is worth logging a bug for, but I guess we shouldn't
accept the warnings either...
In my sandbox I have made the warnings go away. I had to rewrite some
pre-Java 5.0 code from TestProto to use generics.
These changes will go in with other changes to ProtocolTest soon.
When we start compiling the Derby sources with source level 1.5, I think
we'll get lots of these warnings!
As examples, uses of Hashtable, ArrayList, Vector, Map and
PrivilegedExceptionAction. There's nothing functionally wrong with the
code (hopefully ;) ), but the compiler is unable to verify that all the
casts are safe.
I don't know what the best way to handle the general issue is; rewrite
the old code to use generics, ignore warnings or suppress the warnings?
thanks,
