> A Groovy class with CompileStatic annotation exhibit a different behavior
> than Java. The following code results in a compile time error in Java, but
> throws a runtime exception in Groovy.

> String getData() { return "ABCD" }
> Base() { this(getData()) } // Calling an instance method before the class
> is constructed
> Base(String arg) {}
> }
> @CompileStatic
> public class GMain
> {
> public static void main(String[] args)
> {
> Base b = new Base();
> }
