Paul King created GROOVY-12237:
----------------------------------
Summary: CheckingVisitor.findTargetVariable is now a protected
instance method (was public static)
Key: GROOVY-12237
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-12237
Project: Groovy
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Paul King
Assignee: Paul King
Fix For: 6.0.0-alpha-1
commit ed63edb33f
As part of general cleanup in commit ed63edb33f,
org.apache.groovy.typecheckers.CheckingVisitor#findTargetVariable changed from
implicitly-public static to protected instance, aligning it with the rest of
the class's protected, subclass-facing design. Binary-incompatible for
third-party checkers compiled against 5.x (invokestatic → NoSuchMethodError);
source-compatible for subclasses calling it unqualified, source-incompatible
for external callers using CheckingVisitor.findTargetVariable(...). No shim is
possible (a static and instance method with the same signature cannot coexist).
Note groovy-typecheckers was incubating in 5.x, so this is migration guidance
rather than a broken guarantee. Recompile against 6.x; external (non-subclass)
callers should inline the small lookup themselves.
