HierarchyDiscovery questions
by Laird Nelson
org.jboss.weld.util.reflection.HierarchyDiscovery's documentation reads, in
part:
"Utility class that discovers [the] transitive type closure of a given
> type."
This public class is underspecified. I'd like to pin down exactly how it is
underspecified and hopefully help its specification match its actual
behavior, or *vice versa*.
My main question is: what is the definition of a "transitive type closure"
(according to this class)?
(Based on the observed behavior of the class, it is *not* the "reflexive
and transitive closure over the direct supertype relation" (JLS 4.10).)
Best,
Laird
