Description

In "Helper.java," put:

public class Helper {
public static final int num = 44;
}

run "javac Helper.java"

In "bug.groovy," put:

import Helper

new int[Helper.num]

run "groovy bug.groovy." I get: Caught: java.lang.StackOverflowError. The call stack is:

ResolveVisitor.resolveAliasFromModule(ClassNode) line: 415
ResolveVisitor.resolveFromModule(ClassNode, boolean) line: 512
ResolveVisitor.resolve(ClassNode, boolean, boolean, boolean) line: 225

In particular:

This function:
private boolean resolve(ClassNode type)

{ return resolve(type,true,true,true); }

is called with a ClassNode where name="Helper.num", superClass = java.lang.Object, and everything else is null. Is ClassNode supposed to represent a class? If so, it's probably an error that the name is "Helper.num" and not, say, Helper.
