Fix two problems related to match types as array elements#15625
Merged
Conversation
1. The erasure of an array of matchtypes should sometimes be Object
instead of Object[]
2. Classtags of matchtypes can be created only if all alternatives
produce the same classtag.
About 1: If a matchtype with alternative types A_1, ... A_n is an array element,
it should be treated in the same way as the type ? <: A_1 | ... | A_n. It's an
_unknown_ subtype of A_1 | ... | A_n. That can cause the erasure of the underlying
array to be Object.
Fixes scala#15618

@Kordyjan Should we open an issue that tracks PRs that should be backported for the next release? In theory the backport:accepted is here for that purpose, but it's easy to miss that since it applies to closed PRs. |
