I know that type erasure makes them look equal, type-wise, at runtime, so that:
class Bar {
def foo[A](xs: A*) { xs.foreach(println) }
def foo[A, B](xs: (A, B)*) { xs.foreach(x => println(x._1 + " - " + x._2)) }
}
gives the following compiler error:
<console>:7: error: double definition:
method foo:[A,B](xs: (A, B)*)Unit and
method foo:[A](xs: A*)Unit at line 6
have same type after erasure: (xs: Seq)Unit
def foo[A,B](xs: (A, B)*) { xs.foreach(x => println(x._1 + " - " + x._2)
) }
^
But is there a simple way to be able to write:
bar.foo(1, 2, 3)
bar.foo(1 -> 2, 3 -> 4)
and having these call different overloaded versions of foo, without having to explicitly name them:
bar.fooInts(1, 2, 3)
bar.fooPairs(1 -> 2, 3 -> 4)
