简单验证

public interface SuperClass<T> {
    public T Apply(T t) ;
}


public class SonClass implements SuperClass<String> {

    public String Apply(String str) {
        return str;
    }
}

运行javap -c -v SuperClass.class SonClass.class查看编译后的结果 可以看到SonClass额外生成了一个Object Apply (Object obj)的桥接方法

分析

我们都知道JAVA泛型并不是真正的泛型，在编译完成后泛型会被擦除，变成Object。如果没有桥接方法，编译完成后其实子类并没有实现父类方法。所以为了语义，编译器会自动生成桥接方法，来保证兼容性。
