Stephan Herrmann01664412010-04-01 20:28:43 +000024 <p>Two value dependent types (anchored types) are considered conform only if the anchors
25 of both types refer to <i>the same object(s)</i>. The compiler must be able to statically
26 analyze this anchor identity.

Stephan Herrmann01664412010-04-01 20:28:43 +000033 <p>Only two substitutions are considered for determining anchor identity:
34
35 </p>
36 <ol>
37 <li>If a method signature uses <code>this</code> as the anchor of any of its types,
38 type checking an application of this method performs the following substitutions:
39 <br />
40 A simple <code>this</code> expression is substituted by the actual call target
41 of the method application.
42 <br />
43 A qualified <code>Outer.this</code> expression is substituted by the corresponding
44 enclosing instance of the call target.
45 </li>
46 <li>Assignments from a <code>final</code> identifier to another <code>final</code>
47 identifier are transitively followed, i.e., if <code>t1, t2</code> are final,
48 after an assignment <code>t1=t2</code> the types <code>C&lt;@t1&gt;</code> and
49 <code>C&lt;@t2&gt;</code> are considered identical. Otherwise <code>C&lt;@t1&gt;</code>
50 and <code>C&lt;@t2&gt;</code> are incommensurable.
51 <br />
52 Attaching an actual parameter to a formal parameter in a method call is also considered
53 as an assignment with respect to this rule.
54 </li>
55 </ol>

Stephan Herrmann01664412010-04-01 20:28:43 +000061 <p>After anchors have been proven identical, the raw types are checked for compatibility
