var args method

[aswin penugonda]

class AA{
    public static void m1(byte...b){
        System.out.println("Byte");
    }
    public static void m1(int...i){
        System.out.println("Int");
    }
    public static void main(String...A){
        byte b=10;
        m1(b);
    }
}

Can any one explain me why there is ambiguity in m1 method call

Should you not know this answer already ? ;)

Hint: Will a byte fit into an int ?

we cannot mix the overloading var args and widening............

There should be no ambiguity since byte... is more specific than int... .

It looks like this compiler bug.

Well, try this too!

public class Test	{
	public static void m(byte b)	{
		System.out.println("B");
	}
	public static void m(int... i)	{
		System.out.println("I");
	}

	public static void main(String[] args)	{
		byte b = 10;
		m(b);
	}
}
