Eric Milles commented on GROOVY-11601:
--------------------------------------
Support for expression list in the 2nd and 3rd clauses is unchanged. I think
example A and C are still supported but not tested.
Example B would be supported this way now:
{code:groovy}
for (def (List items2, int i, long j) = [[], 3, 70]; i < 8; i++, j -= 10) {
}
{code}
re: Example D, where do "i" and "j" come from?
{code:groovy}
for ((i, j)=[3, 70]; i < 8; { i++; j -= 10; println '*' }()) {
}
{code}
It could be re-written as:
{code:groovy}
(i, j)=[3, 70]
for (; i < 8; { i++; j -= 10; println '*' }()) {
}
{code}
> remove support for expression list in for-each statement

> The for-each loop supports an arbitrary expression list. Presumably this is
> for legacy reasons. Now that multi-variable declaration is supported by
> for-each and classic for, it does not seem necessary to support expression
> list. I propose to remove it from the parser grammar.
