Hi,

Trying to compile the jfan library gives an error in FanBool

public static boolean equals(boolean self, Object obj) {
  return self==obj;
}

as boolean and Object are incompatible.

Would it work with

public static boolean equals(boolean self, Object obj) {
  return (obj instanceof Boolean)
    && ((Boolean) obj).booleanValue() == self;
}

instead?

regards, Vlad

Which compiler are you using?

The Eclipse compiler (3.4).

Interesting - must just be a difference from javac. I pushed a fix to hg.

One would expect the Java compiler to box self before performing the comparison. The Eclipse compiler in this case failed to comply with the JLS, but then this is not the first time anyway.
