Overload resolution fails for existential #8955

Closed

Description

@martijnhoekstra

Minimized code

class One[A]{}
def test[A](a: Class[A]) = println(a)
def test[A](as: List[A]) = println(as)
def tost[A](a: Class[A]) = println(a)

@main def main() = {
  val one: One[_] = new One()
  test(one.getClass()) //this fails
  val cls = one.getClass()
  test(cls) //this is ok
  tost(one.getClass()) //this is also ok
}

Output

None of the overloaded alternatives of method test with types
 [A](as: List[A]): Unit
 [A](a: Class[A]): Unit
match arguments (Class[? <: One[?]])

Expectation

of

test(one.getClass())
test(cls)
tost(one.getClass())

either all of them compile, or all of them fail. They all compile in scala 2.
