Could someone help me understand the rules for DGMs when multiple methods
apply? I can't seem to find anything in the specification that addresses this
and I need to emulate (or call into) the rules for Eclipse. I also tried
walking through MetaClassImpl and MetaMethodIndex, but I got lost in the cache
loading code.
DefaultGroovyMethods defines these two methods, in this order. At runtime, if
I have an ArrayList, sort(Iterable,Closure) is the method that is called. Is
this because 1) Iterable has wider applicability than Collection, 2) the
Collection version is deprecated, 3) the Iterable version is defined last, or
4) something else?
@Deprecated
public static <T> List<T> sort(Collection<T> self,
@ClosureParams(value=FromString.class, options={"T","T,T"}) Closure closure) {
...
}
public static <T> List<T> sort( Iterable<T> self,
@ClosureParams(value=FromString.class, options={"T","T,T"}) Closure closure) {
...
}
