Description Ivan Sopov

2011-06-29 14:35:49 EDT

Build Identifier: 20110615-0604

For this code:

private static List<Object> foo1(Set<Object> set) {
	return foo1(set);
}

private static <T> List<T> foo3(Set<T> set) {
	return foo3(set);
}

The first method is marked as unused, while the second is not.

Reproducible: Always

Fix and tests released via commit id d72493837412a83d55cd011d0e0b9648de95961a.
Basically, we are comparing the parameterized generic method with the underlying
method and finding them to be different.
