Saravanan commented on GROOVY-11627:
------------------------------------
Sorry took a while to get to this.
When this class is compiled with @CompileStatic
{code:java}
@CompileStatic
class MyClass {
public void doSomething(String blah) {}
private void doSomething(String doh, String blah) {}
} {code}
I get the error
{code:java}
Mixing private and public/protected methods of the same name causes
multimethods to be disabled and is forbidden to avoid surprising behaviour.
Renaming the private methods will solve the problem.
@ line 11, column 9.
public void doSomething(String blah) {}
^{code}

> I understand the need for multi methods and dispatching with runtime types,
> but how can I disable this behaviour? I am using @CompileStatic and it still
> hits this error
> Per Jochen
> {quote}CompileStatic does not support multi methods, so I totally agree that
> this message should not appear for static compiled classes.
