Eric Milles commented on GROOVY-10931:
--------------------------------------
[~paulk] [~sunlan] Are you aware of any recent JDK16+ test case that has not
been added to Groovy 3?
> Remove $getLookup method generation (Groovy 4+)
> -----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GROOVY-10931
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-10931
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: class generator, Compiler
> Affects Versions: 5.0.0-alpha-1, 4.0.9
> Reporter: Eric Milles
> Assignee: Eric Milles
> Priority: Major
>
> The new {{$getLookup()}} method was discussed somewhat in the comments of
> GROOVY-10273. Groovy 3 has had JEP 396 (illegal access enforcement) support
> backported to the invoke dynamic pathways, without {{$getLookup}}. So, I'd
> like to restart the discussion to find out if there are any illegal-access
> scenarios that Groovy 4 supports that don't have a test case in Groovy 3.
> And if there are no scenarios that remain, I'd like to propose the removal of
> {{$getLookup}} method generation.
> I have disabled its generation in the Groovy 5 codebase, and there are no
> tests that fail. So I have good confidence that it can be removed and the
> security hole can be plugged.
