Description

If compiled with @CompileStatic, in the following example, we use the attribute notation, so the static compiler should perform a direct field access. However, it calls the setter:

class A {
    boolean setterCalled = false

    protected int x
    public void setX(int a) {
        setterCalled = true
        x = a
    }
}
class B extends A {
    void m() {
        this.@x = 2
    }
}
B b = new B()
b.m()
assert b.isSetterCalled() == false
