* Add comments regarding multiple bounds of wildcard
* Remove WildcardType check in getCollectionElementType
The returned Type is never a wildcard due to the changes made to getSupertype
by commit b1fb9ca9a1.
* Remove redundant getRawType call from MapTypeAdapterFactory
getRawType(TypeToken.getType()) is the same as calling TypeToken.getRawType().
* Make TypeToken members private
* Remove incorrect statement about TypeToken wildcards
It is possible to use wildcards as part of the type argument, e.g.:
`new TypeToken<List<? extends CharSequence>>() {}`
* Only allow direct subclasses of TypeToken
Previously subclasses of subclasses (...) of TypeToken were allowed which
can behave incorrectly when retrieving the type argument, e.g.:
class SubTypeToken<T> extends TypeToken<Integer> {}
new SubTypeToken<String>() {}.getType()
This returned `String` despite the class extending TypeToken<Integer>.
* Throw exception when TypeToken captures type variable
Due to type erasure the runtime type argument for a type variable is not
available. Therefore there is no point in capturing a type variable and it
might even give a false sense of type-safety.
* Make $Gson$Types members private
* Rename $Gson$Types.getGenericSupertype parameter
Rename the method parameter to match the documentation of the method and
to be similar to getSupertype(...).
* Improve tests and handle raw TypeToken supertype better
* Make some $Gson$Types members package-private again to prevent synthetic accessors
* Remove TypeToken check for type variable
As mentioned in review comments, there are cases during serialization where
usage of the type variable is not so problematic (but still not ideal).
* Add CodeQL GitHub code scanning workflow
* Only compile main sources for code scanning
* Move test .proto files to test sources
`annotations.proto` also seems to be only relevant for tests because the test
explicitly registers them as extensions. By default the Proto adapter does not
consider them.
* Address some code scanning findings
* Fix some more findings
When a type variable is referenced multiple times it needs to resolve
to the same value. Previously, the second attempt would abort
resolution early in order to protect against infinite recursion.
* calculating size of the list once in case of loops, avoided creation of string builder object if the length type argument is 0
* replaced null check boilerplate code with nullSafe()
Added support for a magic field GSON_TYPE_ADAPTER in a class. This adapter is automatically invoked if present.
The field must be present in the class (not in any super-type), and must be strongly typed as TypeAdapter<T>.
