Description

The following:

@groovy.transform.CompileStatic
Integer[] m() {
  Integer[] arr = [ null, null ]
}

println m()

Throws:

[Static type checking] - Cannot assign value of type java.lang.Object into array of type [Ljava.lang.Integer;

To get it to work, either remove CompileStatic, or change the function to:

@groovy.transform.CompileStatic
Integer[] m() {
  Integer[] arr = [ null, null ] as Integer[]
}

println m()
