-------------------------------
Summary: Erroneous method pointer expressions pass STC (was: Method
pointers to non-static methods from class objects should fail STC)
> Erroneous method pointer expressions pass 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.
