Builds on top of patch in <a href="http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-445" title="Method/Constructor resolution does not factor in widening conversion of primitive args">CLJ-445</a>.</p> <p>Patch updated to current <a href="http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-445" title="Method/Constructor resolution does not factor in widening conversion of primitive args">CLJ-445</a> patch.</p> <p>Is this ticket on hold? I find myself typing <tt>(.someCall arg1 arg2 (into-array SomeType nil))</tt> alot just to get the right method to be called. This ticket sounds like it would address that extraneous <tt>into-array</tt> arg that I use alot.</p> <p>fixbug445.diff uploaded on Oct 29 2012 was written Oct 23 2010 by Alexander Taggart. I am simply copying it from the old Assembla ticket tracking system to here to make it more easily accessible. Not surprisingy, it doesn't apply cleanly to latest master. I don't know how much effort it would be to update it, but only a few hunks do not apply cleanly according to 'patch'.

Deleted the attachment because it was for <a href="http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-445" title="Method/Constructor resolution does not factor in widening conversion of primitive args">CLJ-445</a>, or at least it was named that way. <a href="http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-445" title="Method/Constructor resolution does not factor in widening conversion of primitive args">CLJ-445</a> definitely has a long comment history, so if one or more of its patches address this issue, then you can read the discussion there to see the history.</p> <p>I don't know of any "on hold" status for tickets, except for one or two where Rich Hickey has explicitly said in a comment that he wants to wait a while before making the change. There are just tickets that contributors choose to work on and ones that screeners choose to screen.</p> Global Rank
