Paul King updated GROOVY-7925:
------------------------------
Description:
The following code runs successfully.
{code}
class Foo {
static void main(String[] args) {
assert "${this.name} ${super.name}" == 'Foo java.lang.Object'
super = true
this = false
assert "${this.name} ${super.name}" == 'Foo java.lang.Object'
}
}
{code}
The attempt to change these 'special' variables is ignored but there should be
some kind of error. I think it makes sense for this to be a compilation error
and it should come late in the compilation phases to allow DSLs to include
'this' or 'super' and transform them into something sensible.
