Eric Milles created GROOVY-10140: ------------------------------------ Summary: No compiler error for invalid method modifiers Key: GROOVY-10140 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-10140 Project: Groovy Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 4.0.0-alpha-3, 3.0.8, 2.5.14 Reporter: Eric Milles
Consider the following: {code:groovy} class C { void transient m() { println 'should not compile' } } {code} Groovy happily compiles and executes this code. It should emit and error for the invalid modifier "transient" on the method declaration. Similar code in Java produces the following error: {code} Illegal modifier for the method m; only public, protected, private, abstract, static, final, synchronized, native & strictfp are permitted {code} transient overlaps the modifier but for varargs so this can cause difficulties in joint compilation scenarios. Also the modifier printing code leveraged from {{MethodNode#getText}} does not consider the method context and prints "transient" for "def foo(... args) {}". -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
