Pascal Schumacher updated LANG-1295:
------------------------------------
Priority: Major (was: Critical)
> ArrayUtils.toArray(T... items) has unsafe use of varargs
> --------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LANG-1295
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1295
> Project: Commons Lang
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: lang.*
> Affects Versions: 3.5
> Reporter: Duncan Jones
>
> {{ArrayUtils.toArray(T... items)}} is marked as {{@SafeVarargs}}, but I
> suspect the use of the varargs is unsafe.
> An example, drawn heavily from [this StackOverflow
> answer|http://stackoverflow.com/a/14252221/474189], demonstrates this:
> {code:java}
> static <T> T[] arrayOfTwo(T a, T b) {
> return ArrayUtils.toArray(a, b);
> }
> @Test
> public void testBadVarArgs() throws Exception {
> @SuppressWarnings("unused") // Need to assign to trigger exception
> String[] result = arrayOfTwo("foo", "bar");
> }
> {code}
> the above code throws an exception: {{java.lang.ClassCastException:
> [Ljava.lang.Object; cannot be cast to [Ljava.lang.String;}}.
