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

             Summary: STC: property-style assignment to a 
{{Map<String,String>}} accepts a GString value and stores it unconverted
                 Key: GROOVY-12535
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-12535
             Project: Groovy
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Paul King


Under static type checking, a {{GString}} can't be put into a 
{{Map<String,String>}} through {{put}} or the subscript operator; both are 
rejected. Assigning through property notation is accepted, though, and the 
{{GString}} is stored as is:

{code:groovy}
@groovy.transform.CompileStatic
def go() {
    def n = 'ab'
    Map<String,String> m = [:]
    m.k = "$n"
    ((Map) m).values()*.getClass()*.simpleName
}
assert go() == ['GStringImpl']   // expected ['String']
{code}

||Form||Result (4.0.29, 6.0.0, master)||
|{{m.k = "$n"}}|compiles, stores a {{GStringImpl}}|
|{{m.with { k = "$n" }}}|compiles, stores a {{GStringImpl}}|
|{{m['k'] = "$n"}}|STC error: Cannot call ... putAt ...|
|{{m.put('k', "$n")}}|STC error: Cannot call ... put(String, String) ...|

Statically compiled code can't otherwise add a {{GString}} to a collection 
typed for Strings ({{<<}}, {{add}}, {{set}}, {{addAll}}, {{+=}}, {{putAt}} and 
{{put}} are all rejected), so this is the one hole on the write side. Later 
reads that expect a {{String}} can then fail. For example, Java code doing 
{{String s = m.get('k')}} throws {{ClassCastException}}, and 
{{m.get('k').equals('ab')}} is false.

Expected: either convert the value to a {{String}} at the assignment, as Groovy 
does for {{String s = "$n"}}, or report the same error as {{put}} and 
{{putAt}}. Converting matches the general rule that a {{GString}} becomes a 
{{String}} where one is required, and wouldn't break existing code that 
compiles today.
