[GROOVY-275] Allows assignment of a value to a numeric type which is too large for it to hold

• Type: Bug
• Status: Closed
• Priority: Major
• Resolution: Won't Fix
• Affects Version/s: 1.0-beta-4
• Component/s: parser
• Environment: All

Description

Integer x = 2147483648;
println x.class
println x

This will create a long and "successfully" assign it to an Integer, resulting in the following output:
class java.lang.Integer
-2147483648

This could be a little confusing for a user.
