------------------------------------
Summary: No compiler error for invalid method modifiers
Key: GROOVY-10140
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-10140
Project: Groovy
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 4.0.0-alpha-3, 3.0.8, 2.5.14
Reporter: Eric Milles
Consider the following:
{code:groovy}
class C {
void transient m() {
println 'should not compile'
}
}
{code}
Groovy happily compiles and executes this code. It should emit and error for
the invalid modifier "transient" on the method declaration. Similar code in
Java produces the following error:
{code}
Illegal modifier for the method m; only public, protected, private, abstract,
static, final, synchronized, native & strictfp are permitted
{code}
transient overlaps the modifier but for varargs so this can cause difficulties
in joint compilation scenarios. Also the modifier printing code leveraged from
{{MethodNode#getText}} does not consider the method context and prints
"transient" for "def foo(... args) {}".
