Cannot annotate constructor with @varargs

Open scabug opened this issue 11 years ago • 5 comments

You can have varargs constructors in both Scala and Java, but you can't annotate a varargs constructor in Scala with @varargs - you get an error message "A constructor cannot be annotated with a @varargs annotation".

@adriaanm said: I think this simply wasn't implemented. Original issue: #3621 Alex, do you remember perhaps?

@axel22 said: Yes, this was not implemented deliberately. There was some problem with duplicating constructor methods, IIRC.

Perhaps it's worth taking another look.

Eric Pederson (ericacm) said: That would be great. It would enable some nicer APIs that I currently have to resort to using Java for.

@adriaanm said: We'll be glad to support contributions, but otherwise this is not on our 2.12 roadmap (to be published soon).
