I ended up putting this in the Java vs Groovy section instead of where I
originally planned because it occurred to me that these conversions
apply to more than just assignment (e.g. method invocation). Here's
what I have so far: https://github.com/apache/incubator-groovy/pull/98.
Besides wanting any feedback you might have (especially on other options
for the second table), I also wondered if these behaviors were intentional:
* char -> byte requires a cast in Java, but doesn't in Groovy (even
with CompileStatic)
the cast is like a security feature in Java, which we don't use in
normal Groovy. That's why you can for example assign a long to a byte
too. @compileStatic behaves different in that, but maybe this conversion
has been forgotten
* Most boxing/unboxing works with CompileStatic, but not char ->
Character or Character -> char
that looks like a bug to me
* Several inconsistencies around when casts are needed when working
with CompileStatic (e.g. short -> int and short -> Integer, and char
-> int work, but not char -> Integer)
looks like char conversion is missing some aspects. I guess this is also
due to the analogy of 1-char Strings and Character we use in normal
Groovy (not supported by @CompileStatic) which did let us forget about
some transformations
