Description

Don't know whether calling super from a static method is supposed to compile. But it does in IDEA IC-122.519 EAP using Groovy 2.0.5 and runs into an endless loop.

@CompileStatic
class A {
    public static foo() {
        print("A")
    }
}

@CompileStatic
class B extends A {
    public static foo() {
        A.foo() // compiles and prints "AB"
        super.foo() // compiles and creates StackOverFlow
        print("B")
    }

    def static main(args)
    {
        B.foo()
    }
}
