Paul King commented on GROOVY-7423:
-----------------------------------
We can certainly look at back-porting if a 2.5 beta isn't out soon.
> Access to Method parameter names at runtime
> -------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GROOVY-7423
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7423
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: ast builder, command line processing, Compiler,
> groovy-runtime
> Reporter: Nick Grealy
> Assignee: Paul King
> Labels: easyfix, features
> Fix For: 2.5.0-beta-1
>
>
> Given that JDK8 now supports accessing parameter names at runtime
> <http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/118>, I'd like to incorporate this behaviour
> into the Groovy compiler.
> I'm proposing adding a command line/configuration change to the groovyc
> compiler, to add reflective information to the compiled bytecode (i.e. the
> parameter names).
> I'm not proposing any changes to the current behaviour of method invocation
> (using named parameters).
