AIDE Bug

[thornto...@gmail.com]

I have found what I think is a bug in AIDE's compiler.  I took a Samsung Galaxy Tab tablet, downloaded the following project from GIT hub: https://github.com/viridian1138/VectorVictor.git
and then proceeded to compile.  After some tweaking I was on the Sept. 27 "Remove Unused Imports" version of the repository (see https://github.com/viridian1138/VectorVictor/commits/master ) and AIDE was still reporting one error in the compile.  It was stating that the expression in line 1946 of Angle2Base.java was returning type Object and hence couldn't be assigned to Angle2Evt.  I maintain that the generic-bound type of the expression is indeed Angle2Evt and hence the assignment should work.

To make it easier to see the issue, I checked-in a typecast as the "Try to work around bug in AIDE" version of the repository (see https://github.com/viridian1138/VectorVictor/commits/master ) which makes the code compile in AIDE.  However, I contend that the typecast shouldn't be necessary as the types should match.  In Eclipse with ADK, the code compiles normally without the typecast.  AIDE thinks that the expression type is Object, where the actual type of the expression is Angle2Evt.  I'm claiming this is a bug in AIDE, although I am open to arguments to the contrary.

How would I file a proper AIDE bug report about this?



Sincerely,
