Description

In Groovy 1.8.0, this works fine:

groovy:000>  int x; println x
0
===>  null

Whereas this blows up:

groovy:000>  int x; 1.times { println x }
ERROR org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.typehandling.GroovyCastException:
Cannot cast object 'null' with class 'null' to class 'int'. Try
'java.lang.Integer' instead
        at groovysh_evaluate.run (groovysh_evaluate:2)
        ...

Is that a known issue?

bug and not known, because new in 1.8. Please fill a bug report for this
