a reasonable request. As such, you can expect method accepting
Object[] as parameter to be added in the near future.
Didn't we at some point say that
void debug( String format, Object args );
can quite easily take the
logger.debug( "{} : {} : {}", new Object[] { arg1, arg2, arg3 } );
and therefor the proposed signature would not be needed, but
support in
runtime...
Yes, but that changes a compile-time determination of the developers
intent into a run-time determination. With two distinct signatures,
you can distinguish between:
Object foo = new Integer(5);
if (useArray) {
foo = new Object[] { "Hello, World", "Goodnight, Gracie" };
}
logger.debug("foo = {}", foo);
and
Object[] salutations = new Object[] { "Hello, World", "Goodnight,
Gracie" };
logger.debug("Morning greeting = {}, Evening greeting = {}",
saluations);
If you only have one signature, the body would have no way to know
whether the developer had intended it be to treated as one parameter
or many.
