In general we want to match the signature that allows us to use as less arguments for the vargs part as possible. That means the longer signature usually wins if both signatures are vargs, while vargs looses always against a signature without vargs. A vs B : def foo(Object[] a) {1} -> case B def foo(a,b,Object[] c) {2} -> case A assert foo(new Object(),new Object()) == 2 --> A preferred over B A vs C : def foo(Object[] a) {1} -> case B def foo(a,b) {2} -> case C assert foo(new Object(),new Object()) == 2 --> C preferred over A A vs D : def foo(Object[] a) {1} -> case D def foo(a,Object[] b) {2} -> case A assert foo(new Object()) == 2 --> A preferred over D This gives C case B def foo(a,b) {2} -> case C assert foo(new Object(),new Object()) == 2 --> C preferred over B, matches C case B def foo(a,Object[] b) {2} -> case D assert foo(new Object(),new Object()) == 2 --> D preferred over B This gives C

Sets the meta class for an object, by delegating to the appropriate DefaultGroovyMethods helper method. This method was introduced as a breaking change in 2.0 to solve rare cases of stack overflow. See GROOVY-5285. The method is named doSetMetaClass in order to prevent misusages. Do not use this method directly unless you know what you do.

Parameters:

self - the object for which to set the meta class

mc - the metaclass

shortName

unwrap

public static void unwrap(java.lang.Object[] arguments)

wrap

public static java.lang.Class[] wrap(java.lang.Class[] classes)
