Description

The following code

import groovy.transform.*

//@CompileStatic
class X {
    
    final Y y = new Y();
    
    public static List<String> l() {
        return Arrays.asList("a", "b");
    }
    
    class Y extends ArrayList<String> {
        Y() {
            super(l());
        }
    }
}

new X()

works fine with @CompileStatic but doesn't work without it.
