Fix handling of Java varargs #8977

In Java unlike Scala, `Object` is the top type, this leads to various usability problems when attempting to call or override a Java method from Scala. So far, we relied mainly on one mechanism to improve the situation: in the ClassfileParser, some references to `Object` in signatures were replaced by `Any` (cf `objToAny`). But this had several shortcomings: - To compensate for this substitution, `TypeComparer#matchingMethodParams` had to special case Any in Java methods and treat it like Object - There were various situation were this substitution was not applied, notably when using varargs (`Object... args`) or when jointly compiling .java sources since this is handled by JavaParser and not ClassfileParser. This commit replaces all of this by a more systematic solution: all references to `Object` in Java definitions (both in classfiles and .java source files) are replaced by a special type `FromJavaObject` which is a type alias of `Object` with one extra subtyping rule: tp <:< FromJavaObject is equivalent to: tp <:< Any See the documentation of `FromJavaObjectSymbol` for details on why this makes sense. This solution is very much inspired by scala/scala#7966 (which was refined in scala/scala#8049 and scala/scala#8638) with two main differences: - We use a type with its own symbol and name distinct from `java.lang.Object`, because this type can show up in inferred types and therefore needs to be preserved when pickling so that unpickled trees pass `-Ycheck`. - Unlike in Scala 2, we cannot get rid of `JavaMethodType` because when calling `Type#signature` we need to know whether we're in a Java method or not, because signatures are based on erased types and erasure differs between Scala and Java (we cannot ignore this and always base signatures on the Scala erasure, because signatures are used to distinguish between overloads and overrides so they must agree with the actual JVM bytecode signature). Fixes scala#7467, scala#7963, scala#8588, scala#8977.

Issue to be solved by pull request #8718 (smarter)
Minimized code / Output
Dotty REPL (tested with version 0.24 and newer)
Let's try 3 different ways to print out formatted strings:
Scala REPL (tested with version 2.13.2)
Expectation
Same output for Dotty and Scala 2 with
System.out.printf
.Workaround in Dotty : add
.asInstanceOf[Object]
toprintf
argument(s).The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
