When multiple overloaded methods share the same name and parameter count but differ in types, the verifier was selecting the wrong
RefinedFunction— applying incorrect refinements to both invocations and return type checks.Changes
Context.java: AddedgetFunction(name, target, List<CtTypeReference<?>> paramTypes)overload that matches by qualified parameter types, plusargumentTypesMatchhelper. Size-based lookup remains as fallback.MethodsFunctionsChecker.java— invocation paths:getInvocationRefinements,getConstructorInvocationRefinements, andsearchMethodInLibrarynow passparamTypes(fromCtExecutableReference.getParameters()) intocheckInvocationRefinements, which uses type-based lookup first.MethodsFunctionsChecker.java— return path:getReturnRefinementswas still using size-based lookup; fixed to extract parameter types frommethod.getParameters()and do type-based lookup with size-based fallback — consistent with the invocation path.Refactor: Extracted
extractParameterTypes(List<CtParameter<?>>)helper to eliminate duplicated loop acrossgetReturnRefinementsandloadFunctionInfo.Example
