Seq from unsafe wrapped array fails to deconstruct in head and tail with pattern matching #20562

Whatever you decide its okay for me. Most probably its just a minor issue but it took me a while to figure it out. For me it just seems to break this promise of functional programming to easily reason about functions by just inspecting their code. The headOfSeqOrZero function in my example looks not too suspect for me. Just this parameter type of Seq which provides the :: operator. Either the input contains at least one element then the head of the seq is returned otherwise it just yields 0. But for some sequences head is returned for others not, just dependent on the creation of the seq. It looks somehow effectful to me. Give it a seq 1, 2, 3 it returns 1. Give it another seq 1, 2, 3 it returns 0. Hmm.

This is your misunderstanding. There are different flavors of patterns when pattern matching. It happens that Your match is really This would be a fruitful discussion on the discord chat or the discourse forum. They have people who are great at explaining things. https://scala-lang.org/community/ has links. |
The issue is with scalaVersion := "3.4.2".
The deconstruction of a seq in head and tail with pattern matching fails in case the sequence was created from an array with ArraySeq.unsafeWrapArray.
In case the seq is created by its apply method the deconstruction succeeds as expected.
In both cases the declared type and the values are identical, but pattern matching produces different results.
