Consider the following simple code that converts a typed List to a typed array:
public static <T> T[] toArray(List<T> list) {
T[] array = (T[]) new Object[list.size()];
int index = 0;
for(T t: list) {
array[index++] = t;
}
return array;
}
Since it's not possible to instantiate a generic type primitive array as such:
T[] array = new T[list.size()];
it's necessary to cast the generic type array T[] to an object array Object[]. However, this produces an "unchecked cast" warning in an IDE. What is the optimal solution to this?
