Christopher Smith created GROOVY-11078:
------------------------------------------
Summary: Compiler does not validate final assignment in
constructors
Key: GROOVY-11078
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-11078
Project: Groovy
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Compiler
Affects Versions: 4.0.12
Reporter: Christopher Smith
The Groovy compiler does not seem to make any attempt to verify that final
fields are assigned during object construction, making possible very simple
bugs (I added a property but forgot the "this" assignment) that the Java
compiler flags. I'm aware that the richness of Groovy expressiveness may make
this difficult, but it's frustrating not to have that safeguard.

class Bug {
final Object o // and add an explicit constructor if you like
}
