[java:S4276] FP with dynamic generic Supplier argument

Qube: Community 9.9

The Java rule S4276 reminds me of using more specialized functional interfaces. Though it runs into a FP, if the generic type is dynamic.

public <T> Supplier<T> getSupp(T fallback) {
    return null;
}

public void foo() {
    Supplier<String> s1 = getSupp("");
    Supplier<Long> s2 = getSupp(1L); // FP
    
    System.out.println(s1.get() + ", " + s2.get());
}

The Supplier’s generic type is dynamic and used with two different types. Hence I cannot use LongSupplier here.

Hi @mfroehlich,
