Dalvik-appeasing names #2152

Open tombentley opened 9 years ago

tombentley commented 9 years ago

As mentioned here, it seems dalvik has a problem with some fields names we generate. Although they seem to be acceptable according to the JVM Spec §4.2.2 we should try to make this work on dalvik.

This will break binary compatibility, won’t it?

Yes, but it would only affect people who were reflectively inspecting the annotations of Imports, which I can't imagine is very many people. I think the work @FroMage has been doing on annotations has already broken BC in a much more major way.

Surely not for 1.3 ;)
