Eric Milles commented on GROOVY-9659:
-------------------------------------
There is a similar issue with "1.0" giving an STC error for BigDecimal not
converting to Double. So there are a few of these user-friendly coercions that
could be made.
> Support auto type conversion for char type

> Key: GROOVY-9659
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-9659
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Daniel Sun
> Priority: Major
>
> The following code will cause errors, which is not friendly to Java
> developers who are used to use single char {{'<char>'}} to represent
> character, so it's better support char type natively
> *Dynamic groovy:*
> {code:java}
> // groovy.lang.GroovyRuntimeException: Could not find matching constructor
> for: java.lang.Character(String)
> //@groovy.transform.CompileStatic
> def x() {
> new Character('c')
> }
> x()
> {code}
> *Static groovy:*
> {code:java}
> // [Static type checking] - Cannot find matching method
> java.lang.Character#<init>(java.lang.String). Please check if the declared
> type is correct and if the method exists.
> @groovy.transform.CompileStatic
> def x() {
> new Character('c')
> }
> x()
> {code}
