Description David Saff CLA 2005-06-09 06:21:28 EDT 
Against N20050609-0010, using the code example from bug 86447:

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

public class Z {
        
        void foo() {
            List l= new ArrayList();
            bar(l);
            l.add(new Object());
        }
        
        void bar(List<String> l2) {
            
        }
    }

On this class, if you infer generic types (and use default checkbox settings),
local l is inferred as List<?>, when the only valid type is raw List.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
