Dalvik-appeasing names #2152

Open CeylonMigrationBot opened 9 years ago

CeylonMigrationBot commented 9 years ago

[@tombentley] 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.

[@lucaswerkmeister] This will break binary compatibility, won’t it?

CeylonMigrationBot commented 9 years ago

[@tombentley] 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.
