Generic overload causes stack overflow

[NewsBot]

Hi y'all,

 

First off, I have to do generic overload of the method, because I can't change the old code.

And here it is:

*** *** public Obj ReturnObject(Obj obj)

*** *** {

*** *** *** return obj;

*** *** }

the normal version of the method, not so strong type.

Then I wrap around it with:

*** *** public T ReturnObject(T obj) where T : Obj

*** *** {

*** *** *** Obj obj1 = ReturnObject(obj);// trying to call the non-generic method

*** *** *** return obj1 as T;

*** *** }

So I don't have to do casting all the time.

But Obj obj1 = ReturnObject(obj); always callback to the same generic method again and again instead of calling the non-generic method.

 

Is it a feature or a bug?

 

If this is a feature, then how would I, or could I, call the non-generic method of similar signature?

 

I guess I can change the name of the methods to be different from each other, but then why do I want that?

 

Thank you for your advices!
