lambda in a static method of an interface (original) (raw)

This code currently compiles but doesn't work at runtime

public interface User { public default String firstName() { return transform(0); }

public default String lastName() { return transform(1); }

public abstract String transform(int index);

public static User User(String firstName, String lastName) { return ref -> (ref == 0)? firstName: lastName; }

public static void main(String[] args) { User bob = User("Bob", "Vance"); System.out.println(bob.firstName()); System.out.println(bob.lastName()); } }

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError: Class java.lang.String does not implement the requested interface User at User$$Lambda$1.transform(Unknown Source) at User.firstName(User.java:3) at User$$Lambda$1.firstName(Unknown Source) at User.main(User.java:18)

I believe it's a bug in javac, the desugared method is not declared static but should: public java.lang.String lambda$0(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, int);

BTW, I use the b83 binary build, not the lastest mecurial tip.

cheers, Rémi
