Eric Milles reassigned GROOVY-10930: ------------------------------------ Assignee: Eric Milles > STC accepts program although constructor reference is invalid > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: GROOVY-10930 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-10930 > Project: Groovy > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Static Type Checker > Reporter: Thodoris Sotiropoulos > Assignee: Eric Milles > Priority: Major > > I have the following program > {code} > import java.util.function.*; > class Bar {} > public class Test { > public static void main(String[] args) { > m(Bar::new); > } > static <X> void m(Function<String, X> d) { > d.apply("dfa") > } > } > {code} > h3. Actual behavior > The compiler accepts the program, but notice that the constructor reference > is invalid. So, at runtime, we get: > {code} > Exception in thread "main" groovy.lang.GroovyRuntimeException: Could not find > matching constructor for: Bar(String) > at > groovy.lang.MetaClassImpl.invokeConstructor(MetaClassImpl.java:1908) > at > groovy.lang.MetaClassImpl.invokeConstructor(MetaClassImpl.java:1677) > at > org.codehaus.groovy.vmplugin.v8.IndyInterface.fromCache(IndyInterface.java:321) > at Test.ctorRef$main$0(test.groovy) > at Test.m(test.groovy:13) > at Test.main(test.groovy:9) > {code} > h3. Expected behavior > The compiler should have rejected this example program. > Tested against master (commit: 2c40df2827b8d1bc941bd6ebdc386b3f9bc3bf3b) -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
