Description Justin Spadea CLA 2011-09-26 15:01:22 EDT 
ia int[] = [];

Type mismatch: cannot convert from EList<EAny> to EList<Integer>
Comment 1 Jeff Douglas CLA 2011-09-30 14:26:55 EDT 
The problem is because this statement:

i int[] = [];

goes into the ArrayLiteralTemplate and gets the type of the array, which has no entries, so it is defaulting to Any.

I think the only way of solving this is to check for this condition in Reorg code and assign the type to the array, using the assignment LHS as the type.
