Shil Sinha commented on GROOVY-7859:
------------------------------------
[~emilles] That issue was addressed in
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7772, though it's unclear reading
the comments whether the resolution means that 2.6 has the behavior for groovy
style method pointers, or java style method references.
> 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
> Assignee: Shil Sinha
>
> Method pointer expressions are not type checked (with STC enabled). The
> following example should not compile for a number of reasons:
> {code}
> @groovy.transform.TypeChecked
> void test() {
> def x = 'abc'.&bar //bar is not a String method
> x() // groovy.lang.MissingMethodException
> x = String.&length //length is a non-static method
> x() // java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: object is not an instance of
> declaring class
> x = String.&size //size is a non-static extension method
> x() // java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Class cannot be cast to
> java.lang.String
> }
> test()
> {code}
