Running into problems when pickling Map and HashMap about pickling

[LBliss]

Most likely due to the recurring problem with anonymous classes / traits and their current unsatisfactory fix (https://github.com/scala/pickling/blob/2.10.x/core/src/main/scala/pickling/Compat.scala).

This is currently under investigation to find a more suitable solution.

Related to #32, #38 and possible others.

Yeah a fix would be very nice. because that makes it quite hard to work with nested data. Is there a workaround?

When i do not import Map at all I run into this compile time error:

this does not work either:

import scala.pickling._
import json._
("test", Map(1->(2,3))).pickle

returns

JSONPickle({
  "tpe": "scala.Tuple2[java.lang.String,scala.collection.immutable.Map[scala.Int,scala.Tuple2[scala.Int,scala.Int]]]",
  "_1": "test",
  "_2": {
    "tpe": "scala.collection.immutable.Map[scala.Int,scala.Tuple2[scala.Int,scala.Int]]",
    "elems": [

        "_1": null,
        "_2": null
      }
    }
    ]
  }
})

the values in the tuple are both null instead of 2 & 3

I was able to reproduce this problem using Pickling 0.10.0.

[phaller]

Looks like this issue is due to the fact that specialized classes are not
handled correctly.

[reid-spencer]

@phaller - Looking at this example @yigit provided, It is curious that the scala.Tuple2 at the top level seems to work fine but the Tuple2 as the value of the Map does not. Just thought I'd mention it in case that's a clue to fixing this.

[jsuereth]

Just some quick notes:

• I was able to correct the reported issue by providing a new hand-rolled ImmutableMap pickler which uses TravPickler generator.
• We still have the runtime issue, because the runtime pickler kicks in for unpickle[Any] and this tries to look into class structure, which fails.
• We need some additional runtime hooks to provide custom runtime picklers but NOT for concrete types, but rather type constructors (like Map[,]). We already have a mechanism in place specifically to handle Tuple2, but it's not extensible.
