Shil Sinha created GROOVY-7859: ---------------------------------- Summary: Method pointers to non-static methods from a class objects should fail STC Key: GROOVY-7859 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7859 Project: Groovy Issue Type: Bug Components: Static Type Checker Affects Versions: 2.4.7 Reporter: Shil Sinha
The following currently passes static type checking: {code} @groovy.transform.CompileStatic void test() { def x = String.&length x() } test() {code} At runtime, it fails with: {quote} java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: object is not an instance of declaring class {quote} If {{String.&length}} is replaced with {{String.&size}}, or a pointer to any extension method, it still passes STC, but fails with a ClassCastException instead. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
