Paul King closed GROOVY-7861. ----------------------------- > asType(null) called in @CompileStatic method returns a string 'null' > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: GROOVY-7861 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7861 > Project: Groovy > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Static compilation > Affects Versions: 2.4.7 > Environment: Win, jdk1.7.79 > Reporter: Jacek Karas > Assignee: Eric Milles > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 5.0.0-alpha-3 > > > The following code: > {code} > import groovy.transform.CompileStatic > class Test { > @CompileStatic > static Object castToType(Object o, Class clazz) { > return o.asType(clazz) > } > } > def foo = Test.castToType(null, String.class) > println "'${foo}' class: ${foo.getClass()} bytes: ${foo?.getBytes()}" > {code} > prints: > {panel} > 'null' class: class java.lang.String bytes: [110, 117, 108, 108] > {panel} > i.e. the method annotated with @CompileStatic converts null to the actual > string 'null' (which is quite a nasty surprise when trying to "speed things > up" by adding @CompileStatic to existing non-static code). > The same without @CompileStatic returns: > {panel} > 'null' class: class org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.NullObject bytes: null > {panel} > as expected. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
