----------------------------------------------

             Summary: References to inaccesible methods leads to runtime error
                 Key: GROOVY-11301
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-11301
             Project: Groovy
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Static Type Checker
            Reporter: Thodoris Sotiropoulos


I have the following ill-typed program

{code}
import java.util.function.Supplier;

public class Test {
  static class A {
    private static String m() { return null; }
  }
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Supplier<String> x  = A::m;
  }
}
{code}

h3. Actual behaviour

The compiler accepts the program, but I receive the following runtime error, 
because I access a private method.

{code}
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalAccessError: class Test tried to 
access private method 'java.lang.String Test$A.m()' (Test and Test$A are in 
unnamed module of loader 'app')
        at Test.main(groovy51.groovy:9)
{code}

h3. Expected behavior

The program should have been rejected by the compiler.

Tested against master (commit: 191231a832efd2e2fc49391c01f8d176944d68e3)
