Hi all,
Jochen showed us how to default to CompileStatic
<http://groovy.329449.n5.nabble.com/Changing-the-default-to-CompileStatic-tp5723113p5723114.html>
in a post a few months ago. A question was raised about about changing
the default to TypeChecked for the case where a user doesn't want
CompileStatic as a default, but does want TypeChecked as a default.
Would it be the same solution as above? That is:
*config.groovy*
withConfig(configuration) {
ast(groovy.transform.TypeChecked)
}
and then do: groovyc -configscriptsrc/conf/config.groovy
src/main/groovy/MyClass.groovy
Also, if one were to specify:
*config.groovy*
withConfig(configuration) {
ast(groovy.transform.CompileStatic)
}
would that also mean that TypeChecked is enabled by default? How is it
disabled for a given class or method? Or, would one need to do the
following?
*config.groovy*
withConfig(configuration) {
ast(groovy.transform.CompileStatic)
ast(groovy.transform.TypeChecked)
}
In summary, I'm asking:
1. Is adding ast(groovy.transform.TypeChecked) in the config file how
to turn on TypeChecked by default?
2. What is the idiom to disable TypeChecked for a given class or method?
3. Does CompileStatic imply TypeChecked (so that if CompileStatic is
specified, it is not necessary to specify TypeChecked in a config file)?
Thanks,

P.S. By the way, having the ability to set the default for strong type
checking and static compilation while at the same time allowing for
specific exceptions (via @CompileDynamic, for example) has been very
useful in reducing push-back regarding Groovy adoption. Similarly,
disallowing @Grab
<http://groovy.329449.n5.nabble.com/Disabling-Grape-tp5720694p5721122.html>
as Cédric suggests is also part of helps enterprises embrace Groovy. I
encourage people to promote this and other similar features when
encountering resistance! I think there should be an entire section in
the documentation that focuses on issues like these that are of interest
to large enterprises.
