Help to understands "Fruitless specialization" warning

Question
1

Hello, I just move to version 2.13.2 and use the package “slick_2.13-3.3.2.jar”.
I have the following simplified code:

package database
import slick.collection.heterogeneous._
object Bug {
val AValue = 314 :: “3.14f” :: HNil
}

When I compile it, I obtain:

warning: Fruitless specialization of Unit in parameter position. Consider using @specialized(Specializable.Arg) instead.

Could you help me to understand this warning? Is it normal to have no file not line specified for this warning?

Thanks

Looks like Nonlocal return in lambda induces fruitless specialization · Issue #11965 · scala/bug · GitHub . (Let’s discuss there.)

Is it normal to have no file not line specified for this warning?

No. You shouldn’t be getting the warning at all, but also, every warning should include a location.
