----------------------------------------------------------------
GROOVY-6189 links to GEP-12, which specifically mentions that types implemented
by {{Closure}} represent a coercion-free match and so are preferred over
SAM-type overloads.
For reference, the distance computed between {{Closure}} and several
interesting types are currently as follows:
||Type||Argument-Parameter Distance||
|Closure|0|
|Cloneable|1|
|Serializable|1|
|GroovyCallable|1|
|Callable|2|
|Runnable|1|
|GroovyObject|1|
|GroovyObjectSupport|4|
|Object|14|
|SAM-type|13
or 12 (if param count helps; GROOVY-9881)
or 15 (if param count hurts; GROOVY-11121)|

> Key: GROOVY-10714
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-10714
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Static compilation
> Affects Versions: 4.0.4
> Reporter: Christopher Smith
> Assignee: Eric Milles
> Priority: Major
>
> This appears to be similar to GROOVY-9881, but it's specifically in the
> method-overload procedure. Given a functional value type with two method
> overloads:
> {code}
> interface Try<T> {
> Try<T> andThenTry(Consumer<? super T>)
> Try<T> andThenTry(Runnable)
> }
> {code}
> When this code is invoked from static code, the STC errors out on an
> ambiguous method reference even if the method type isn't:
> {code}
> // AWS SDK 2 DynamoDbTable
> class DynamoDbTable {
> void putItem(PutItemRequest<T>)
> void putItem(Consumer<PutItemRequest.Builder<T>)
> void putItem(T)
> }
> @CompileStatic
> class MyServiceClass {
> void doThing() {
> Try.success(putItemRequest())
> .andThenTry(table::putItem) // T for Try<T> is PutItemRequest<I>
> }
> }
> {code}
> produces
> {code}
> [Static type checking] - Reference to method is ambiguous. Cannot choose
> between [Try<T> Try#andThenTry(Consumer<? super T>), Try<T>
> Try#andThenTry(Runnable)]
> {code}
> I think this may have something to do with the relaxed SAM matching that is
> used to bridge ambiguous closure syntax, but when a plain method reference is
> used, there's no ambiguity available.
