What's changed?
Diamond operators (
<>
) are now correctly supported when creating new generic instances likenew ArrayList<>()
.What's your motivation?
Previously, using
new ArrayList<>()
would incorrectly render asnew ArrayList<>()>()
, due to missing type inference information.Any additional context
We did already support
new HashMap<>()
; this was only because the Groovy compiler happened to set theStaticTypesMarker.INFERRED_TYPE
flag in that case. However, this flag is not consistently applied. This change ensures support even when the flag is missing by also checking if the generic type list is empty.Interestingly, when the flag is present, the generic types are populated, which means we need to handle both cases: either rely on the flag or detect when the generics are empty.
