[v2] userdiff: improve java regex for generic return types

Commit Message

Tassilo Horn Aug. 10, 2021, 8:27 a.m. UTC

Currently, the git diff hunk headers show the wrong method signature if the
method has an array or generic return type because the regex doesn't allow [],
or < and > in the return type.  Also, type parameter declarations couldn't be
matched.

Add several t4018 tests asserting the right hunk headers for increasingly
complex method signatures:

  public String[] secondMethod(String[] RIGHT)
  public List<String> secondMethod(String[] RIGHT)
  public <T> List<T> secondMethod(T[] RIGHT)
  public <AType, B> Map<AType, B> secondMethod(String[] RIGHT)
  public <AType, B> Map<AType, Map<B, B[]>> secondMethod(String[] RIGHT)

Skip that one.  I've just got aware that also qualified return types
won't work, e.g.,

  private java.util.Date foo() {
    ...
  }

so patch version v3 is unterway.

Bye,
