> Parrot Parser: split declaration and initialization of "def var" sets
> incorrect modifier "var"
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: GROOVY-9630
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-9630
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: parser-antlr4
> Affects Versions: 3.0.4
> Reporter: Eric Milles
> Priority: Minor

> Consider the following:
> {code}
> def var // optional comment
> var = 'initial value'
> {code}
> !image-2020-07-08-16-07-22-846.png!
> Parrot Parser sees first "var" as modifier and not variable declaration.
> Thus the split declaration and initialization is actually parsed like a
> declaration and initialization. IDE colors the modifiers differently from
> variable names and so "def" and first "var" get the same coloration.
> "def" can also be replaced by "final" and the same issue is observed.
