Template generation fails for complex bounds on class types

[dweiss]

public class KTypeFoo<KType extends Comparable<? extends KType>> {}

doesn't work. It should (even if we don't use it).

@dweiss any plan to fix it?

[dweiss]

Nah, not really... Things do work for the simple types we use and making those templates work for anything would require a lot of effort (I think switching to a full type parser would be required). Realistically, I don't think I'll have the time to work on this in any near future, sorry!

[catap]

@dweiss maybe you now any similar template processor? I've investigated fastutil's one and it... let say not reusable outside of that project :)

[dweiss]

Nope, I don't know if there's anything "generic" like this. fastutil has one that suits its purposes... and so does HPPC. A general Java template preprocessor would be an interesting project on its own but I haven't heard of anything like it.
