Why am I getting an AssertionError when assigning Arrays.asList() to var directly?

Question

I\'m trying to understand local variable type inference in Java 10.

1. The code below works perfectly during compilation and runtime:

   List list1 =         
   
   
           

Answer 1

This is a bug of openjdk, see this:

Javac should skip non-denotable types in the LocalVariableTypeTable attribute
