error: No ClassTag available for String

[Erik Bruchez]

All,

With 2.10.RC2:

scala> def foo(f: String => Array[String])(s: String) = ()
foo: (f: String => Array[String])(s: String)Unit

scala> foo _
res3: (String => Array[String]) => (String => Unit) = <function1>

scala> foo(Array(_)) _
<console>:9: error: No ClassTag available for String
foo(Array(_)) _
^

This passed with 2.9.2. Bug?

Thanks,

-Erik

Probably, although the trailing _ is not the most specified candle in the candelabrum. This works:

scala> foo(Array(_))(_)

res0: String => Unit = <function1>

Thanks for the workaround! I didn't realize the trailing _ was frowned
upon in this case.

Just opened a bug: https://issues.scala-lang.org/browse/SI-6673. Will
look into it after lunch.
