APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The type argument for a generic constraint can also be a
  generic.
  e.g. this is is normal generic constraint, with constraint type
  MyClass:
  
  ... where T : MyClass
  
  whereas this is a generic constraint in which the constraining
  type itself is a generic:
  
  ... where T : MyClass<T>
  
  We are not handling the second form.

  * Constraints with generics were not supported earlier and     *

Problem conclusion

• Constraints with generics were not supported earlier and hence a
  ClassCastException error was being generated during the
  transformation.
  Constraints with generics are now supported and hence no error
  (ie:ClassCastException) is found while reverse engineering.
