Bug 349524

Description jason 2011-06-16 03:39:10 EDT

Build Identifier: 20110218-0911

When I debug a java class with one static generic method(with type name E) and one static generic class(with type name E), the instance variable "this" or other instance variables can not display value in the "Expressions" window. The error message is: "error(s)_during_the_evaluation", the given reason is: "Evaluations must contain either an expression or a block of well-formed statements".

However, this problem disappears when I choose different names for generic types. (for example, in the following steps, I choose E for staticMethod, choose T for static class StaticClass, the problem doesn't occur any more.)


This bug report may relate to #344856 and #161364.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
To repeat the error, first write a java class like this:
1. a java class that causes the problem:


 public class Test {
	public static <E extends Comparable<E>> void staticMethod( ){
 
	}  
	public static class StaticClass<E extends Comparable<E>>{
		
	}	
	public void instanceMethod(){
		System.out.println( );
	}
	public static void main(String[] args){	 
		Test  t = new Test();
		t.instanceMethod();		
	}
}


2. then set a breakpoint at the statement "System.out.println( );" in the instance method "instanceMethod".  When the program runs to this breakpoint, click the "Expressions" window and add the variable "this".
