Why the code below didn't report unchecked warnings by Intellij IDEA with jdk 1.8.0_121 since Supplier<R> & Serializable is the supertype of T?
<T extends Supplier<Integer> & Serializable> T createdBy(AtomicInteger counter) {
// v--- if I removed the first cast expression, I can't compile it
return (T) (Supplier<Integer> & Serializable) counter::incrementAndGet;
// ^--- it should be reports unchecked warnings, but it doesn't
}
And the following code has reported unchecked cast warnings:
<T, R extends T> R apply(T value) {
return (R) value;
// ^--- unchecked cast
}
Why this question occurs, the interested thing occurs during I write the code at below for chaining a type with multi-supertypes:
AtomicInteger counter = new AtomicInteger(0);
Supplier<Integer> serialized = serialized(createdBy(counter));
assert serialized.get() == 1; // ok
assert counter.get() == 0 ; // ok
<T extends Serializable> T serialized(T value) {
return deserialize(serialize(value));
}
I have searched through the JLS, but I can't find out the exactly favorable evidence. Could someone tell me why?
